Lenovo 360 Recognized as a 5-Star Program in the 2026 CRN® Partner Program Guide

Lenovo has been recognized by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, as a 5-Star Partner Program in the 2026 CRN Partner Program Guide. The recognition underscores the strength of Lenovo 360, Lenovo’s unified global channel framework, which brings together devices, infrastructure, solutions and services into a single partner experience designed to help partners scale, differentiate and capture new growth opportunities in areas such as Hybrid AI and services-led transformation.

For the 2026 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team assessed technology vendors based on the strength and breadth of their partner program offerings, including partner training and enablement, pre‑ and post‑sales support, marketing resources, technical assistance and ongoing communication.

The annual guide is an essential resource for solution providers seeking vendor partner programs that match their business goals and deliver high partner value.

Lenovo has earned 5-Star recognition each year since 2024.

“This recognition reinforces what has always been true for Lenovo — our channel is how we scale innovation and deliver value to customers globally,” said Pascal Bourguet, Chief Sales Strategy & Channels Officer at Lenovo. “With Lenovo 360, we’ve built a unified framework that enables partners to go beyond transactional selling and grow across devices, infrastructure, solutions and services. As the market shifts toward Hybrid AI and outcome-based IT, our focus is on helping partners expand their capabilities, differentiate in the market and capture new opportunities for long-term growth.”

Lenovo earned the 5-Star distinction for the strength and evolution of its Lenovo 360 partner framework that unifies Lenovo’s portfolio and partner engagement model under a single, consistent experience. Built for a broad ecosystem of partners, Lenovo 360 enables organizations to move beyond transactional selling and expand into higher-value solutions, services and as-a-service models while maintaining flexibility to grow at their own pace.

Recent enhancements to Lenovo 360 include:

• Simplified incentives and streamlined partner processes to improve ease of doing business.
  
  
• Expansion of the Lenovo 360 Solution Hub, now available in 51 markets with 56 channel-ready solutions across eight languages.
  
  
• Tailored partner pathways around high-growth verticals, technologies, and routes to market.
  
  
• Co-branded demand generation campaigns aligned to key growth areas including Hybrid AI and managed services
• Flexible financing through Lenovo Partner Credits to support partner scalability and cash flow.
  
  

Looking ahead, Lenovo will continue to simplify the partner experience while accelerating enablement in high-growth areas such as Hybrid AI, services and the midmarket. Investments in AI-driven training, digital platforms and co-marketing programs will further empower partners to build differentiated offerings and drive long-term, profitable growth.
