Read MoreNew Partnership Structure Is Coming To Inflectra
August 19, 2021 Company News
Here at Inflectra, we’ve been taking some time to evaluate our partner relationships and do some deep thinking about how we can best support them. When the company first started, our goal was to partner with as many consulting and product companies as possible to grow brand awareness. Being a global company, that’s a lot of ground to cover! Over time we’ve entered into hundreds of partnerships – some strong and long-lasting, and some less so.
As our partner ecosystem has continued to grow, we have recognized a need for a stronger and more supportive infrastructure that allows us to build upon and invest in our partnerships. After months of strategy and brainstorming sessions, drafts and revisions, we’ve developed a new structure that focuses on key aspects of collaboration, success, and respect. We believe that this redeveloped Partner Program will highlight each partner’s capabilities and areas of expertise as well as the geographic and thematic diversity in our partner ecosystem. This structure is intended to provide resources, support, and above all, unparalleled incentives.
Without further ado, let us proceed with the unveiling.
