SUSE One Partner Program receives 5-star rating in CRN® 2025 Partner Program Guide for 5th consecutive year

The SUSE One Partner Program has once again been honored with a prestigious 5-star award in the 2025 CRN® Partner Program Guide, marking our fifth consecutive year achieving this elite status. This recognition, the highest possible rating in the CRN Partner Program Guide, shows our strong commitment to building strong, profitable and successful ecosystem partnerships. The CRN Partner Program Guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.

What does the 5-star rating mean? 

CRN awards the 5-star rating to companies that have gone above and beyond in their commitment to nurturing strong, profitable‌ and successful channel partnerships. In the 2025 CRN Partner Program Guide, vendors were evaluated based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

We recognize that partners have multiple vendor options and need thorough insights into the programs available before committing. This includes incentives, sales and marketing support, training and certification‌ and technical assistance. At SUSE, we prioritize transparency to ensure partners can make informed decisions and achieve their business goals.
