Commvault Challenge

Hello Technical Champion,

Ahead of our partner event on Wednesday the 25th of March, please complete the pre-work below and submit, so we can integrate some of your responses and feedback into our event on the 25th.

Why we’re doing this: we want you to walk into the session already confident on quoting and design fundamentals, and we want to use the live workshop time to close gaps, compare approaches, and speed up your real-world execution. To make it even more exciting… there will be prizes up for grabs for the most creative and accurate submissions.

Submission instructions

Please submit your responses by Wednesday the 18th of March 2026 by 16:00.
Format: PDF / Word / PPT or even bullet points whatever is quickest.
If you’re unsure on any item, still submit your best attempt and clearly note:
- your assumptions
- what you would validate with the customer
- where you looked (KB / Partner Portal / Solution Design Tool)
