ABB Value Provider Program

To create this joint value proposition and help distributors to grow their business and differentiate as a service driven organization, we will be rolling out the ABB Value Provider Program for ABB Ability™ solutions.

Certified partners will be able to promote and sell our smart and connected devices along with our Software-as-a-Service solutions, with the option to incorporate additional services including design, commissioning and after-sales support.

We will help our certified Value Provider partners to build an incremental set of competences for a given digital domain of expertise, empowering them to enroll on the program based on on-the-ground capabilities and local go-to-market strategy.

Our partnership and certification process is aimed at enhancing distributors perceived added value in offering customers solutions that address their needs in a specific area (domain of expertise).

ABB wants Value Providers to develop their expertise in particular domains and to be recognized as expert by Customers. As a result, are provided with a label on which their relevant domains of expertise are listed.
