Lenovo today unveiled ‘As One’, its new channel partnership with Microsoft. Building on the two companies’ existing relationship, ‘As One’ will help channel partners sell an integrated Windows 11 and device solution to their customers, enabling secure and straightforward upgrades to the latest Microsoft operating system, powered by best-in-category devices.
The ‘As One’ channel partnership combines both Microsoft and Lenovo’s strengths. Windows 11 offers enhanced performance, top tier security for users working from anywhere and the latest features, such as Focus, to help minimise distractions. Solutions available through the programme include Productivity and Collaboration, Security, Sustainability, End Point Management, Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion, and Infrastructure.
With business customers of all sizes continuing to adapt to remote and hybrid working, as well as the ongoing need for reliable and secure user experiences, the combined solution makes it easier for channel partners to offer a complete software and hardware service.
As longstanding channel partners, Lenovo recently signed Microsoft’s Partner Pledge to show its commitment to championing technology talent, enhancing diversity and inclusion, and creating a more sustainable future.
“Our strategy has always been channel-first, and this next phase in our relationship with Microsoft is another example of how we are constantly innovating to offer new opportunities to the channel,” said Natalie Noor, UK&I Channel Director, Lenovo. “With an integrated service, we can deliver more for our partners and help more businesses benefit from high performance devices backed with the best that Windows has to offer.”
“Windows 11 is the most secure Windows operating system yet and, integrated with Lenovo’s devices, is designed to give a great experience, no matter where or how people want to work. With many Lenovo devices available to bring Windows 11 to life, this relationship will help the channel give more choice to their customers,” said Anjana Srinivasan, Device Partner Solution Sales Lead, Microsoft UK.
