New Partner Benefits with HP Amplify Program
Enhancements
HP’s success relies heavily on the strength of the channel. Over
the past year alone, partners helped drive >$6 billion dollars
in revenue growth over the past year (through Q2 FY22).16 Ongoing
investments in new partner benefits reflects HP’s continued
commitment to the channel in ensuring partners get the insights,
training, connection and engagement needed to drive greater
productivity and potentially higher profits. Today HP
introduced:
HP Amplify Data Insights Enhancements: Launched nearly one year
ago, HP Amplify Data Insights gives partners
immediate access to a rich set of data analytics each aimed at
influencing the customer buying journey and delivering a more
satisfying experience. Acting on partner feedback, HP has expanded
its customer-level insights available through the use of advanced
analytics – resulting in customer-ready, targeted opportunities for
partners to immediately act upon. New automated tools integrate
directly with partner sales systems, thus simplifying the way data
is collected and delivered to participating partners. Each of these
enhancements is designed to create a partner sales force that can
be more targeted and effective in winning business.
HP Amplify Impact Global Expansion: Launched in early 2021,
HP Amplify Impact represents a first of its kind
partner assessment, resource, and training program, leveraging HP’s

all types (resellers, retail, and distribution partners),
regardless of location, will have the opportunity to participate in
this award-winning program.
HP Amplify Impact Awards: HP also invites partners to enter its
new annual HP Amplify Impact Awards, celebrating
partners across 5 categories at an awards ceremony in December

externally with badges and promotional material. Partners can learn
more on the HP Partner Portal and track their performance via the

Introducing HP Curiocity: Recent studies emphasize the benefits
of training and collaborative selling to the bottom line. In
response to these trends and based on partner feedback, HP
developed a new platform offering enhanced training, community
engagement and rewards – all in a single program. Inspired by the
