Pure Storage’s goal is to lead and support partners’ transition to services and recurring revenue while maintaining its collaborative and profitable sales model through its ability to scale for incremental growth. Qlik’s goals include migrating more partners to cloud solutions, increasing the amount of recurring revenue going through partners and encouraging them to sell a broader part of its portfolio. As part of Qualys’ commitment to support partners, it will provide additional training and sales enablement. The company will also be investing in services-led partnerships to provide mutual customers with the best protection. Quantum aims to increase software subscription sales and offerings, continue expansion into the enterprise market with strategic products that fill current gaps, and deploy programs to increase reseller recruitment, enablement and engagement. Quest plans to focus on more enablement in its partner portal. Ideally, partners would be coming back to the portal multiple times per month as the primary source of information. Better enablement will bring more channel-sourced bookings. The goals Quickpass has set are to continue to build out its partner portal with co-branded assets and more end-user- focused content. It will also begin to drive traction to its MDF offer to help partners grow with the company. RackTop is exploring adding an online configuration tool this year. It will also be focusing on creating more technology alliance collateral as that has continued to be a larger part of its go-to-market strategy. RapidScale plans to engage more with partners on customer- facing activities to directly drive opportunities and revenue. Training and education will help partners capture more of their customers’ IT spend through solution-selling. Raxis is aiming to build its channel in measured steps, listening carefully to what existing and prospective partners say they need. The first goal is to enable existing partners to boost their Raxis-derived revenue. Red Hat will continue to focus investments on deeper training and certification opportunities for partners in application development and hybrid cloud as well as product offerings through hyperscaler marketplaces.
