Solution providers

Designed to help resellers of hardware and software, as well as consultants and support providers, the Solution Provider Track is designed to help with the sales and marketing of complete solutions-based on and around Ubuntu.

Solution Providers should be able to demonstrate that they have significant experience with selling, installing and supporting Ubuntu-based solutions.

As a Solution Provider, you sell software, hardware support and consultancy as part your business. Providing technical and sales support to your customers requires skill and knowledge. Canonical can assist you to succeed in your business.
