New SI partner program helps speed up
development of real-time solutions customers demand, from GenAI
bots to fraud detection
Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFLT), the data streaming pioneer, today
announced Build with Confluent, a new partner program that helps
system integrators (SIs) speed up the development of data streaming
use cases and quickly get them in front of the right audiences. It
includes specialized software bundles for developing joint
solutions faster, support from data streaming experts to certify
offerings, and access to Confluent’s Go-To-Market (GTM) teams to
amplify their offering in the market. Build with Confluent makes it
faster and easier than ever to monetize real-time solutions built
on Confluent’s data streaming platform.
An overwhelming majority of IT leaders (86%) stated data
streaming is a priority investment in 2024, according to the latest
Data Streaming report. The ability to power customer experiences
and applications with real-time data is a clear necessity for
business success. Data streaming is used across every major
industry for countless use cases that are vital to a business.
However, SIs have struggled to build comprehensive streaming
offerings due to lack of proper resources and technical know-how,
holding them back from capitalizing on the growing data streaming
market.
“We’re sharing tens of millions of hours of collective data
streaming expertise with partners to help them deliver the
real-time use case offerings that transform customers’ businesses,”
said Paul Mac Farland, SVP of Partner and Innovation Ecosystem,
Confluent. “Through Build with Confluent, we’ll treat their
solutions as if they were built by our own team, helping them
succeed in solving customers’ data challenges and becoming leaders
in their space.”
Bring Data Streaming Use Cases to Market Faster
Confluent is driven to be a strategic partner in overcoming
customers’ business challenges. As part of the reimagined
Accelerate with Confluent program, partners can deepen their
collaborations to expand their businesses, open more opportunities
for growth, and reach new audiences. They can build native
integrations with Connect with Confluent, seamlessly help their
customers transition away from traditional messaging systems and
Apache Kafka® with Confluent’s Migration Accelerator, and quickly
develop streaming use case offerings with Build with Confluent.
Now, any partner can work hand-in-hand with Confluent to meet the
high customer demand for real-time customer experiences and
applications.
A wide range of use cases have been built through early access
to the program, including a GenAI bot for airline customer support,
fraud detection against AI-powered voice phishing, automated limit
increases for credit card users, and real-time telemetry analysis
for freight optimization. This is only the start with more coming
to market as SIs combine their industry expertise with the power of
Confluent’s leading data streaming platform. Partners can take
advantage of Build with Confluent’s transformative program
benefits, including:
- Specialized Software Bundles - This library of quickly
deployable software helps partners jump start their solutions. With
access to packaged code for the most common data streaming use
cases, partners have a strong foundation for developing specialized
offerings. They no longer need to start from scratch, freeing up
more time and resources to focus on customer success.
- Build with Confluent Certification - Through this
certification program, Confluent’s industry-leading experts will
help fine-tune partners’ solutions and verify that they are built
for success. Partners will earn a badge demonstrating their
solution has been validated by Confluent experts, maximizes the
potential of the Confluent platform, and addresses customers'
business needs.
- Access to Sales and Marketing Resources - By tapping
into Confluent’s world class GTM teams, partners can speed up the
process of discovering their next customer. Confluent’s sales and
marketing teams will help ensure their solutions reach the right
audiences, maximizing visibility and recognition in the
market.
