Leading IT management software provider, SolarWinds, recently launched the SolarWinds Transform Partner Program which will support and drive growth for the company’s valued global channel partners. The new channel program is designed in such a way that it will transform the way SolarWinds partners with industry-leading technology distributors, value-added resellers (VARs), global system integrators (GSIs), managed service providers (MSPs), and cloud partners around the globe.
“Our purpose at SolarWinds is to enrich the lives of the people we serve. For our customers, this means providing secure solutions that make the job of managing multi-cloud environments simple and cost-effective. And for our partners, it means creating greater opportunities for shared growth,” said Sudhakar Ramakrishna, president, and chief executive officer of SolarWinds. “We are building further on our monitoring leadership and are now evolving our business to deliver the best solutions in full-stack observability, service management, and database monitoring. Our exciting portfolio and value proposition enable us – and our partners – to help accelerate our customers’ business transformation wherever they may in their cloud journey.”
How will the SolarWinds Transform program enable partners?
- Transform is a vital component of SolarWinds’ growth strategy and provides a new model for partners to offer their clients world-class SolarWinds technology solutions via SaaS and cloud-connected, on-premises deployments.
- It enables partners to help their customers speed up their digital transformations by providing simple and AI-powered SolarWinds observability solutions for today’s modern, distributed, hybrid, and multi-cloud network environments.
- It offers partners strong profit potential, and significant growth opportunities, along with world-class tools and resources.
- The program also provides SolarWinds partners with many benefits, like financial incentives, performance rebates, enablement and training programs, an enhanced Partner Portal, and new marketing and sales support.
- SolarWinds adds a new partner category to support MSP partners, with the Transform launch, with an engagement mode for MSPs ranging from the global scale to regional providers.
- This new partner program comes after SolarWinds launched Hybrid Cloud Observability as a comprehensive, integrated, and cost-effective solution to increase performance and reduce remediation time across on-premises and multi-cloud environments. Hybrid Cloud Observability is the first solution built on the new SolarWinds Platform and leveraging the company’s Secure by Design principles. It enables organizations to shift from reactive to proactive IT postures to meet the challenges of hybrid IT. MSPs will now be able to offer SolarWinds Hybrid Cloud Observability to provide full-scale observability with flexible licensing and pricing models which offers them and their customers the flexibility and scale they value.
“We’re so thankful for our amazing partners and are excited to celebrate our joint successes,” said Jeff McCullough, vice president of worldwide partner sales, SolarWinds. “Our partner relationships are critical as we move forward with a bold plan to grow our business through customer-centric technology innovations. Together with our partners, we share a vision to completely transform the market for IT management software.”
The new program represents SolarWinds’ enhanced focus on channel growth and development. Transform is the first formal SolarWinds channel program. It is consistent with the company’s customer-first approach and was developed in close partnership with many of the over 2,000 existing SolarWinds partners.
