And to help partners, Huawei announced the latest Huawei Channel Partner strategy, policies, programs and most importantly, the latest innovative products and solutions for our partners.
Todd Liu, President of Huawei Philippines Enterprise Business said: “The Philippines was already on the road to digitalization, Huawei has successfully served dozens of government departments, top enterprises and banks. As more and more Philippine enterprises and organizations choose us (Huawei) as their digital transformation partner, as a result, our channel ecosystem is also expanding very quickly.”
Liu highlighted the achievements of partners, citing 300 registered partners, 51 Huawei-certified service partners and 36 Huawei ICT Academies. Also as a commitment to providing the best technical support, 700 of Huawei partners have passed Huawei exams and received certification in 2020.
In order to implement the strategy of Focus on the Core, Huawei announced a new channel policy called Optimal Channel Plan.

Kenneth Bi, Channels Sales Director, Enterprise Business Group, Huawei Philippines said: “The Optimal Channel Plan works based on the BP, we will select the partners who would like invest in the Huawei business together, and give them support. The seeded player, I call them Core of Core, we would like focus on these resources and support these few partners to develop first.”
