Riverbed relies heavily on our valued channel partners to broaden our reach, grow into new markets and provide exceptional solutions for customers. As innovations in cloud and mobile technologies prove essential for business success, we are aligning our partnering approach to better enable you to profitably grow your business.
Business innovation is digital
Digital transformation is the new imperative for companies across every industry. Spurred by the need to grow and sustain a competitive edge, businesses are investing in digital offerings and embracing entirely new business models. As your customers venture into what is often unchartered territory for their IT environment, they are looking for trusted partners to bring transformative digital solutions and consumption options, as well as reliable, cost-effective ways to manage these new technologies.
Riverbed’s industry-leading digital performance offerings—including Digital Experience Management, Cloud Networking and Cloud Edge — give you the opportunity to expand your solutions offering beyond the network and deliver the fast, secure digital experiences that your customers are making huge investments to achieve. Partners leveraging this strategic positioning are not only monitoring and maintaining IT solutions but they are earning their seat at the strategic table by enhancing performance across every aspect of a customer’s business.
Enabling more business in the channel
As technology changes, so does the channel’s opportunity. By reimagining our brand as The Digital Performance Company, Riverbed has dedicated itself to helping partners broaden relevance within their customer base.
Partners can leverage the new Riverbed Digital Performance messaging to broaden their footprint beyond the networking group and start conversations with line-of-business stakeholders, DevOps leaders, the C-suite and more. These significant conversations with a broader set of stakeholders provide expanded opportunities to grow business together, in the flexible ways that customers are requesting, including managed services, subscription and consumption models of IT delivery. And, Riverbed Rise now enables partners to achieve maximum profitability fully aligned with your go-to-market strategy.
