Goal… The goal of this section is to provide a base level overview
of the different commercial programs and deliverables available to Rockwell Automation and Distributor Sales.
At the end of this session…• Know what programs are available• Understand the fundamental strategy of the programs• Understand how to leverage the programs for growth
• Where do I find information?• What programs are available?• What are the program requirements/benefits?• What is the value to the RA and program participants?• How do you measure success?• How can we leverage the Programs to sell more?
We have a long history of partnering. It is fundamental in our DNA. We see it as the best way to address customer needs.
Our approach to partnering is based on an understanding that no single supplier can do it all and a belief in the importance of working with best of breed companies to bring innovation, global reach and local responsiveness.
Customers can get everything they need from a trusted source
• Formally launched in 2008, to give manufacturers access to a local, regional and a worldwide network of specialists– Three Major Categories– Seven Individual and Unique Partner Programs– Best-in-breed companies – offering products, technologies, application and
• Strategic Alliances - Global Partnerships– Joint solutions founded on common values: industry knowledge, open standards, collaboration
and leadership– Offers manufacturers one of the strongest technological, competitive and strategic advantages
within the enterprise and across the supply chain
• Enterprise Solution Partners - Helps You Extend Manufacturing Information Solutions Throughout Your Enterprise
– Business Enterprise Participants have the capability to provide enterprise systems expertise around functional-specific systems (Data Centers, ERP, Accounting, HR, Supply Chain, etc.) and Industry -Specific solutions ( Manufacturing Execution, Industry Application Systems (Healthcare, Pharma, Automotive, etc).
– Rockwell Automation has partnered with an elite group of professional IT services organizations that have demonstrated design, delivery and support competency around the enterprise class of FactoryTalk manufacturing information solutions
• Authorized Distributors - Approximately 320 Authorized Distributors Worldwide Doing Much More Than Selling
– Our distributors understand integrated supply, product aggregation and increased automation sophistication – with an exceptional level of service – regardless of location
– Authorized Distributors help manage electrical supply spending, provide extensive training and deliver quantifiable cost savings
– To meet these challenges and improve time-to-market they provide one-stop shopping from a trusted electrical advisor with the ability to deliver local sales and support
• Technical expertise and assistance for system configurations• Day-to-day support through knowledgeable staff and emergency service any time• E-Commerce enabled to improve supply chain performance and efficiency to lower
total cost of ownership• Provides leading automation solutions
The Rockwell Automation limited distribution model allows Authorized Allen-Bradley Distributors to offer more support,to invest in training and to carry a more extensive inventory. –Kevin Powell,
• Product Reference – Encompass Partners - Over 1,000 Products From Over 100 Companies Worldwide
– Through the Rockwell Automation Encompass™ third-party product referencing program, manufacturers can quickly locate the products that best solve their application challenges
– Gives you the confidence to know that the products they need come from reputable, sound companies. These products provide additional functionality and enhance and extend Rockwell Automation solutions
– Expands the Integrated Architecture Footprint with licensed product technology. Over 125 modules have been developed
Our original intent to measure success in the Encompass Partner Program was based upon exposure and name recognition in North
America and not necessarily increased sales as we knew that would eventually happen. Increased interest from Rockwell Automation
distributors is now generating sales in the area of robust structures (replacing painted, welded steel),
safety hard guarding and multi-axis linear motion for material handling and automation..
• Technology Licensing - Getting the Technology Needed to Meet More Customer Requirements• Licensed technology from Rockwell Automation is made up of intellectual property and know-how
as well as hardware, software and firmware components — typically never seen by the end-user. – Products using hardware, software and firmware technology licensed from Rockwell
Automation may feature the Rockwell Automation ENABLED™ logo– This provides design expertise and technology you can embed into your products to create
the solutions you need– For more information contact Doug McEldowney at [email protected]
