Fortinet’s Partner Program: Accelerate your business
In the last year Fortinet racked up 28.3% year-on-year growth in revenues, according to IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Security Appliance Tracker. And the market in general for security appliances grew some 18.5% with revenues topping US$4.85 billion worldwide. Further, Asia Pacific, which accounts for 23% of total worldwide revenues, showed the strongest growth for 2015 with a 16.5% revenue growth.
With numbers like these, not selling Fortinet solutions into your client base could be the biggest mistake of your business career.
