Every year Nutanix partners have gathered at our Partner Xchange at .NEXT to learn, connect, and experience the future of Enterprise Cloud. While this year certainly looked different than years past, we still delivered everything our partners have come to expect from the event: a partner exclusive keynote, breakout sessions, partner recognition, and a preview of what the future of partnering with Nutanix looks like.
An Obsession with Simplicity
The lines between traditional routes to market are blurring due to the cloud, subscription, and future-of-work transitions occurring in business today. Last week, we unveiled how we are simplifying our disparate channel, distributor, technology alliance, service provider, and systems integrator programs into one program architecture called Elevate.
Over the coming months, this architecture will allow partners to deliver software sales as well as build consultative and managed services under one program. Elevate is based on competencies, and enables and rewards partners who deliver successful business outcomes through their enhanced skills and Nutanix expertise.
In the vein of simplicity, we also announced our redesigned Partner Portal. No longer will partners need to hunt for information across platforms--all of the tools, data, enablement resources, and marketing programs partners need will be in one location, with one login.
