Bitrix Expands, Matures Partner Program

Bitrix has announced a Partner Certification Program designed to help customers choose the best suppliers and certified specialists to implement its Bitrix Site Manager project. Customers can make decisions with the help of a partner directory housed on the Bitrix site that ranks certified partners according to partner levels and points, updated daily. The three partner levels include Business, Certified and Gold Certified. Rankings will reflect level, the number of certified specialists, projects and company professional skills. Partners can also gain points that contribute to upgrades to higher partner levels. Points can be attained by participating in various activities, including "opening Web projects based on Bitrix Site Manager, conducting advertising campaigns, holding seminars, customers training, and localizing the product interface." More information about the certification program and partner levels can be found at the Bitrix website.
