Partner Program


Sergey Rizhikov, Bitrix, Inc. CEO  “One of our principles is: “Before you multiply, you must first learn to divide”. The updated partner program gives all of us an opportunity to make more profit even during current market conditions. The economic crisis has changed the way companies view their resources and software products. Enterprise 2.0 solutions help companies improve their efficiency and productivity during turbulent times. We offer the market simple and convenient solutions at affordable prices. Join our partner network today — a fair agreement allows both sides to prosper.”

The Bitrix Partner Program enables consultants, solution-providers and resellers to earn more by providing customers with offerings from Bitrix, or which include Bitrix solutions.
