“There’s never been a better time to be a TIBCO partner,” SVP Tony Beller shared during this year’s TIBCO NOW Partner Keynote. And he couldn’t be more right.
Partners are critical to the livelihood of a software company, and TIBCO is no exception. At TIBCO, we recognize that collaborating with our partners is what creates mutual growth and success. As CEO Dan Streetman said, by “being better together, we can go faster together.” Together with our partners, we can take advantage of any data to make real-time decisions in order to create a connected experience for sustainable innovation.
We’re taking our TIBCO Partner Program to the next level, with a three-prong strategy outlined by Beller: growth, innovation, and customer excellence. Starting with growth, we want to use our products and innovation to help our partners grow and expand their business. We want to grow with them and invest in their growth. The TIBCO Partner Program is shifting to meet our partners where their business model is. To facilitate this, TIBCO CMO Fred Studer introduced the Partner Marketing Launchpad, a way for partners to create personalized marketing campaigns using existing marketing materials. With the touch of a button, partners’ marketing campaigns become automated, co-branded, and can be shared on social.
Secondly, we are working with our partners to help them transform their customers’ business with TIBCO technology. We innovate together with our partners to solve some of the world’s most complex business and data challenges. Our partners iSteer, ARRIA, and Ascention among many more have created innovative solutions leveraging TIBCO technology for their customers. To showcase and share the solutions they are creating for their customers in addition to what their peers are doing, partners will soon be able to access a new and improved “Partner Solution Directory”, making it easy for customers to find and access successful and innovative solutions.
Lastly, we want to continue to foster customer excellence. We’ve put forth a customer-centric approach for our partners that spans the entirety of the customer journey. This type of business model is proven to deliver higher customer engagement and help our partners outperform the competition. SVP Jeff Hess introduced TIBCO’s Customer Excellence (CEx) Framework, which combines value-based selling and value realization, giving partners access to best practices and documentation to address their customers’ needs, solution enablement, Centers of Practice, and a CEx certification to deliver customer excellence and value in a whole new way. This creates a feedback loop so partners can easily share what their customers are saying and their needs with TIBCO, so TIBCO can create better customer experiences and dramatically improve success. The end result? Sustainable innovation.
During the Partner Keynote, we announced the global winners of the 2020 Partner Excellence Awards.
