Pure has been 100% channel led since its founding, and providing a world class Partner Program is critical to its success. To deliver continuous improvements to the Program, Pure aligns partner feedback, customer needs, and its company strategy to advance its Program in ways that help partners drive faster, smarter, and more innovative business.
“As the only storage vendor delivering subscriptions fully through the channel, our partners are essential to achieving our mission of meeting global business and technology needs, which is why the modernization of our Partner Program is moving in lockstep with Pure’s evolution as a services-led company. We’re proud to set the bar for partner programs, delivering unmatched simplicity, flexibility, and value to our partners so we can continue growing together.” – Wendy Stusrud, VP of Global Partner Sales, Pure Storage
The latest updates to the Partner Program include the capacity for partners to participate in one-to-many routes to market, differentiated benefits based on tier, and more:
- Power to sell the portfolio in the way that best aligns with partners’ unique business and customer needs:Â Pure’s Partner Program now provides specific requirements and benefits for partners whether they are reselling or offering managed services, as-a-service solutions, or cloud native architecture. Since Pure has seamlessly integrated Portworx offerings into its 100% channel model, this flexibility in routes to market also applies to cloud native and Kubernetes-based applications in an increasingly container-driven world.
- Profitable, predictable, and tiered rewards for capability and solution specialization:Â Pure is introducing new, differentiated benefits for Elite partners who have invested in partnering with Pure, including incentives, discounts, marketing resources, and more.
- Expanded programs to support service specialization and distribution partners: New Services Specialization Program enables partner-branded professional and support services around Pure technology. Pure has also introduced a formal program to support Pure distribution partners.
- More simple than ever: These changes also include a simplification of the requirements by aligning to solutions, further enabling partners to invest in multiple routers-to-market enablement. Additionally, the Pure Partner Program will now adhere to Pure’s fiscal year, beginning February 7, 2022.
“Our business with Pure Storage continues to grow, and these new features of the Pure Partner Program mean we can be even more successful together.” – Greg Berard, President, North America, Converge Technology Solutions Corp.
