Hanoi-based telecommunications provider CMC Telecom has become Google s first ‘Sell’ Premier Partner in Vietnam, marking the company as the only telco from the country thus far to be certified as a Premier Partner of Google Cloud.
To get its newfound standing in the Google Cloud partner ecosystem – the top tier of the vendor’s three-tier structure, which includes Member, Partner and Premier – CMC Telecom experts needed to acquire at least 20 certificates and be directly trained and tested by Google in a wide range of fields including sales, sales consulting and technical support.
