Citrix Middle East and North Africa.
By consolidating incentives, increasing automation and adding
tracking capability throughout the process, Citrix Ultimate Rewards
gives partners more time to work together with customers.
It increases transparency and consistency of processes and decisions

human interference. Currently, partners often answer more than 30
questions before getting a deal registered, however the new system
only requires nine questions for simple registration.

conservative at launch, as the AI improves, Citrix will commit to
expanding the thresholds until most of the registrations are approved
or rejected automatically.

in our long history of being a channel centric organisation. Partners
will benefit from less complexity, so they can focus on delivering
world-class customer experiences, ultimately making for a win-win
situation where both parties grow and profit together.”
