Infrastructure automation specialist Puppet has announced a new global channel partner program, set for the first half of 2022.
Built around a new capability -based model as opposed to a traditional tiered revenue approach, the initiative is designed to focus on partners with unique specializations, the company says.
In an announcement, Puppet also announced that it lowers the threshold for becoming a reseller partner and makes it easier to maintain that status annually.
“This is a very exciting time for Puppet. With our new competency-based program, we are well equipped to expand our capabilities and meet channel partners with the insights and options they want and they need it, ”commented Paul Heywood, Puppet’s Chief Revenue Officer.
“We are excited to lay a solid foundation for the channel and will soon be offering new products that reflect the entire pragmatic business.”
As organizations increasingly digitize their operations and implement hybrid, multi-cloud approaches, they have also introduced vulnerability and complexity to their IT infrastructure.
Alongside its global channel partner base of nearly 200 businesses, Puppet helps organizations prioritize security and compliance with their IT assets, safeguarding critical infrastructure and applications.
The Portland-headquartered company said it will continue to invest in its various channel initiatives, including the upcoming launch of its new partner portal, co-marketing technology, as well as its learning management system.
Thanks to ServiceNow’s integration capabilities, Puppet added that partners can expect to see greater value in the new program’s capability -based model.
Sebastian Scheuring, CEO of German IT service provider and Puppet partner bitbone, said the program will bring the infrastructure automation firm closer to its partners.
“Working with Puppet is important to us as a home system and their new program is much more unified with us,” he said. “Automation is becoming increasingly important – not just for large companies, but especially for small and medium -sized businesses. The repetitive tasks, as well as the lack of skilled personnel, can only be managed in this way. “
