SARGENT Offers Channel Partner Programs

SARGENT, along with other ASSA ABLOY companies, has recently released several leading-edge products that require a higher level of training and expertise to ensure successful installation and commission. These products offer integrated solutions and advanced technologies that interface with online access control systems and include Profile Series v.S2 WiFi locks, Harmony Series Integrated Wiegand locks, and Profile v.N1 Integrated Wiegand locks.

Because of these products’ advanced capabilities, ASSA ABLOY has created two new channel partner programs: Authorized Channel Partner and Certified Integrator. Open to all qualifying SARGENT distributors and integrators, these programs teach, through a multi-day, hands-on class, everything needed to order and recommend products; assess, install, and integrate hardware into an access control system; and troubleshoot.

Any distributor or installer who wishes to purchase and/or install products that fall into these programs must first be certified.

• Authorized Channel Partner Program
  The Authorized Channel Partner (ACP) program focuses on selling the right product for the right application. This training will enable our partners to assist their accounts providing a value-added service, differentiating them from other distribution companies. The program is open to those who resell products but do not integrate or install them. In order to quote, order, or sell a certified product from ASSA ABLOY, a company must have at least one person in their employ that has successfully completed the required ASSA ABLOY curriculum.
• Certified Integrator Program
  The Certified Integrator (CI) program provides hands-on training for security systems integrators and network administrators. Not only does this training familiarize candidates on product features and applications, it also gives them valuable experience installing, commissioning, and troubleshooting the products in a real-world environment. This category extends to End Users that install and manage their own systems and third party lock installers.

For more information on the ACP and CI programs, the qualifications needed and training provided, please contact your ASSA ABLOY Door Security Solutions sales consultant.
