Zoom APAC partner ecosystem update

Pereira also shared the vendor’s “strong” channel momentum and growth within APAC, revealing that some 800 partners across the region have joined the Zoom Up Partner Programme as of Q3 of the 2023 financial year, and has contributed 35 percent in channel revenue contribution to Zoom’s overall business in the region.

“Zoom Phone has also seen incredible growth and announced that it has reached over 4 million seats globally in August this year,” Zoom said.

“This growth was accelerated by Zoom Phone’s flexible ‘Bring Your Own Carrier,’ and enhanced Provider Exchange Programme also enables partners to obtain calling plans, coverage, and managed services across the region, opening up new resale opportunities.”

The Zoom Up Partner Program was launched earlier this year to revamp the partner engagement journey through a single integrated architecture optimised for training and awareness.
