Nutanix has announced Elevate, a global partner program designed to re-define the partner engagement journey. Built on an already-robust partner program, Elevate will bring together Nutanix’s global partner ecosystem – Value Added Resellers (VARs) and Value Added Distributors (VADs); Service Providers (SPs) and Telcos; Hyperscalers; Independent Software, Hardware, and Platform Vendors; Global System Integrators; and Services Delivery Partners – under one integrated architecture to deliver simplification, profitability, and an accelerated multi-product, multicloud roadmap towards partners’ business transformation.
Elevate simplifies engagement for Nutanix’s entire partner ecosystem using a consistent set of tools, resources, and marketing platforms provided in the new Nutanix Partner Portal – making it easier for partners to outline their path to success. Further enhancements include a new Performance+ Deal Registration designed to increase incentive potential and opportunity protection. This consistency of experience and support also extends to program nomenclature – bringing together all partner organizations under a single Elevate program brand and badging structure.
“Our vision has always been about simplicity, from the technology we innovate to the way we do business, and Elevate will deliver that vision to the entire partner ecosystem – enabling them to leverage market shifts toward subscription-based, multi-product, multicloud delivery of IT for their customers,” said Christian Alvarez, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Channels at Nutanix. “Our new Elevate partner program significantly deepens our commitment to all partner types around the world, and the enhancements we are rolling out today are just the beginning of many more exciting updates to come so we can partner even more effectively.”
The Elevate Partner Program will roll-out benefits for the channel community with further program expansion reaching additional partner organizations in the year ahead. These upcoming Elevate Partner Program elements will include updated competencies and solution validation options for Alliance partners; flexible pricing models and simplified billing for Service Providers; and robust offer development resources for Service Delivery partners.
The Elevate Program for Channel differs from traditional partner programs by providing a unique emphasis on partner capabilities and competencies to sell and support the Nutanix portfolio, rather than revenue targets. The new program represents a significant double-digit increase in investment by Nutanix into the channel and will provide the following benefits: Simplicity, Protection, Transformation, Profit and Experience.
The program highlights will be detailed at Partner Xchange on September 10th, as part of Nutanix’s .NEXT Digital Experience conference
