Overview

Partner Connect was redesigned to provide Hitachi Data Systems partners with a modern, responsive portal for accessing marketing resources, training materials, sales tools, and support. The redesign focused on improving information architecture and delivering a seamless experience across desktop and mobile devices.

Desktop Experience

The desktop portal features a comprehensive sidebar navigation organizing partner resources by category — from marketing materials and branding assets to sales tools and support documentation. The dashboard provides quick access to latest communications, recommended tools, and personalized content.
