Confluent, a data streaming company, announced its new Accelerate with Confluent partner program for systems integrators (SIs). Accelerate specifically prioritizes Confluent professional services to empower partners to deliver comprehensive data streaming solutions.
With Confluent, customers can accelerate real-time data streaming across virtually any industry and use case, helping teams be more efficient and focus on productivity. Confluent SI partners, however, do not always have resources to bring data streaming to their applications and end users without direct support from Confluent. Business and technology leads at these companies encounter challenges with building and bringing to market new data streaming capabilities that offer customers the best experience for working with real-time data.
“Creating a real-time central nervous system has become an imperative for every organization in order to compete and offer differentiated experiences,” said Paul Mac Farland, SVP of partner and innovation ecosystem, Confluent. “Accelerate with Confluent reimagines our SI partner program, enabling our mutual customers to get to their business outcomes faster. Now, partners can more easily expedite repeatability, profitability, go-to-market efforts and new service offerings, meeting customer demands.”
Accelerate with Confluent is designed to meet customer requirements by building, expanding and innovating through the support of SIs. Partners can choose from multiple avenues for partner engagement with professional services. These paths include:
- Co-delivery – Enables customers to harness the collective expertise of both Confluent and certified partners.
- Strategic staffing – Further enhances the customer experience by incorporating subject matter experts from Confluent partners into ongoing engagements.
- Crafting longterm data strategies – Confluent partners help businesses establish a framework for data streaming maturity, ensuring sustained success in an evolving data landscape.
The Accelerate with Confluent program includes new capabilities, SI service offerings, tools and sales partnership opportunities.
By leveraging Confluent’s data streaming platform alongside Confluent partner solutions, companies can develop modern, real-time generative AI applications. Confluent’s Data Streaming for AI initiative and partnerships – paired with access to technology providers, public cloud partners and services partners – helps to scale next-gen AI applications with a shared source of real-time operational and analytical data.
