Simplicity, Flexibility, Profitability

Riverbed Rise is built around a simple premise: you know best what your business and your customers need—and therefore you need a simple and flexible program that enables you to adapt as quickly as possible to a rapidly changing marketplace, all the while maintaining or increasing your profitability.

Riverbed Rise is built around two simple elements:

• Achievement Areas are strategic priorities identified by Riverbed that are tied to the accumulation of specific Rise Dividends. As Rise Partners achieve results in these areas, they accumulate Dividends.
• Dividends are Riverbed-awarded value tied to results in Achievement Areas and used to determine a Partner’s level in the program. As they meet specific Dividend thresholds and reach higher levels, Rise Partners will receive higher discounts.

In addition to these specific elements, Riverbed Partners have access to the full range of additional benefits to drive sales, including Not For Resale equipment and software, Training, Marketing Support — and much more. In addition, select Partners and Distributors may be able to apply for Business Development Funds, and Distributors are eligible for specific Cash Rebates.
