Every mission starts with the same capacity + portfolio foundation instead of rebuilding Excel models. You deliver faster, train juniors more easily, and present a consistent executive narrative to the CIO. ### Which client profile fits best? IT departments with 50–500 FTE, an existing or emerging PMO, and pain around capacity visibility, portfolio prioritization, or post-Jira governance gaps. ### Can we white-label Workload? Workload is co-branded, not white-labeled. Certified and Premier partners use co-branded audit grids, slides, and one-pagers. The product remains Workload — which preserves support and product updates. ### How does Workload fit with Sciforma or Planview? For clients who need full enterprise PPM, those tools may still fit. Workload wins when the problem is IT capacity + portfolio at a fraction of the cost and deployment time — often as a first step before or instead of heavy PPM. ### Do you support RFP responses? Certified and Premier partners receive RFP boilerplate, security overview, integration documentation, and joint review on qualified opportunities. ### What training do our consultants need? Registered onboarding is 2 hours. Full certification (recommended for client-facing consultants) is 1 day: methodology, demo scenarios, and objection handling. ### Can we deploy Workload on multiple clients simultaneously? Yes. Each client is a separate organization. Partners typically maintain a master sandbox plus one demo org per active engagement. ### How do we register a client opportunity? From Partner space (/dashboard/partner), use Register opportunity — recommended before the first demo. Certified and Premier partners also get co-selling support from the channel manager.
