Freshworks Launches Partner Program, Appoints Global Channel VP

Freshworks Inc., a software company, has introduced an enhanced partner program and has appointed Hervé Danzelaud as Vice President of Global Channel and Alliances to lead the growth of the company’s partner ecosystem. Danzelaud previously served as the head of Channels and Alliances for North America.

“Freshworks was created to deliver immediate value to companies who have found legacy software too complex and expensive for today’s users. Our partner program attracts technology companies, resellers, system integrators and MSP that recognize the market need for native cloud solutions that are simple, affordable and easy to integrate,” said Danzelaud. “My passion is to build deep relationships with partners where we can work together to delight our joint customers with modern CRM, IT and CX solutions.”

Today, the Freshworks partner program includes more than 500 resellers in 50-plus countries, more than 20 systems integrators, over 350 ISVs and 1,100-plus technology applications in the Freshworks Marketplace.

The enhanced Freshworks partner program builds on its enablement, marketing and lead generation benefits making it easier to partner with Freshworks while adding value to joint customers.

A new partner relationship management system offers greater visibility into deal registration, pipeline, commissions, sales and marketing assets and market development funds. Free enablement and supporting certification alignment with sales, pre-sales and implementation roles.

Three existing tiers for resellers and solution partners include:

  • Preferred, Authorized and Registered
  • New certification framework for systems integrators offers a more consistent and delightful customer experience
  • Dedicated in-region resources for Preferred partners to grow joint business
  • Collaboration with account executives in the field to drive expansion and collaboration in mid-market customer segments

Partnerships are an extension of Freshworks’ promise to deliver modern and easy-to-use software for customer support, IT sales and marketing teams. AWS, Pink Elephant, Device42, Flycast Partners, i4 Asia Inc., B-TRSNFRMD and more have partnered with Freshworks to enhance and extend the Freshdesk, Freshservice, Freshsales and Freshmarketer product lines to their customers.
