SolarWinds, a leading provider of simple, powerful, secure observability and IT management software, has been recognized by CRN, a brand of The Channel Company, with a prestigious 5-star rating in its 2023 Partner Program Guide.
CRN honors the SolarWinds Transform Partner Program
that is designed to enable company partners to accelerate digital
transformation for their customers with simple, secure and powerful
technology, including SolarWinds cloud-native observability solutions
that were built from the ground up. With Artificial Intelligence (AI)
and machine learning-powered observability and service management, any
company can drive business growth and maximize the performance of their
digital services. SolarWinds solutions allow partners to unlock
end-to-end service visibility and prevent outages, irrespective of where
those services are hosted - in a multi-cloud, hybrid or on premises
environment. Transform is providing a new model for how to support and
drive growth for the company's valued channel partners.
Transform is SolarWinds first formal channel program and a key component
of the company's transformation, which also has included launching a
cloud-native, unified platform, leveraging advanced AIOps as well as
shifting toward a subscription-first model. Transform represents the
company's enhanced focus on the growth and development of the channel,
providing a new model for partners to offer customers powerful, secure
observability and service management solutions that make managing
multi-cloud environments simple and help partners support customers
regardless of where they may be on their cloud journeys.
"We're thrilled to have our partner program recognized as one that is
going above and beyond to nurture strong and successful channel
partnerships," said Chad Reese, president of Americas sales and global
channel at SolarWinds. "Transform is enabling our partners to help
customers on their digital transformation journeys and manage
increasingly complicated IT environments. All of us at SolarWinds would
like to thank CRN for the honor and our partners and customers for
taking this voyage with us."
"In today's world, the need for innovation is greater than ever," said
Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. "Solution providers seek
vendors that can keep pace with their developing business and evolving
client needs. CRN's 2023 Partner Program Guide delivers deep insight
into the strengths of each program, spotlighting the vendors dedicated
to supporting their partner community and pushing positive change
throughout the IT channel."
This annual guide offers essential information to solution providers
such as managed service providers (MSPs), value-added resellers (VARs),
systems integrators, and strategic service providers as they explore
technology manufacturers' partner programs to find the vendors that will
best support their business needs. The 5-star rating is awarded to the
companies that go above and beyond in their commitment to nurturing
strong, profitable, successful channel partnerships.
In the 2023 CRN Partner Program Guide, vendors were evaluated based on
program requirements and offerings such as partner training and
education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and
resources, technical support, and communication.
The 2023 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2023 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/PPG.
