This will enable MSPs to deliver better offerings to their customers. Designed to serve our SUSE One Partner Program MANAGE specialization Partners with ease-of-use, reduce time to market and increase flexibility, our new price offering features one partner subscription for every class of product on our price list with two tiered options of end-to-end technical support. 

“We listened to our partners and revamped our pricing and support model for the SUSE One Partner Program, MANAGE Specialization. This enables Managed Service Providers to have flexibility, ease-of-use and access to best-in-class technical support.
