GDPR presents big opportunity for channel

Commvault announced continued business expansion by its ecosystem of channel partners worldwide as a result of the implementation of the Commvault Data Platform as the foundation of wider General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) solutions.

Many organizations are struggling with GDPR compliance. Commvault’s recent “Measuring IT’s Readiness for Digital Business” study of 1200 IT executives and personnel uncovered that more than 60% of respondents believe they have access to less than half of their organization’s data. TechValidate findings also indicate that with specific regard to management of personal information, only 18% of organisations had the capability to delete that data on request from all data stores – a process that could be immediately required of any entities operating within EU markets as of May 26. Even fewer, only 8%, believed that they would be able to collate and export data from their organisation to a third party at the request of individuals.

These factors have driven a significant increase in the interest and urgency that Commvault’s partner community is placing on strategic data management and protection projects.

Scott Strubel, Head of Worldwide Channels at Commvault

Scott Strubel, Head of Worldwide Channels at Commvault said “The complexities and regulatory requirements of GDPR are such that the channel has a real opportunity to step up and assume the position of technology champion and genuine trustee of GDPR delivery for organizations looking to May 25 and beyond. Through working closely with us, and using Commvault’s advanced data protection offerings as the foundation for many of their broader GDPR technology offerings, our partners are not only growing their pipelines, but more importantly growing true, long-term, and successful, customer relationships.”
