New partner program to drive more data flow to partners’ platforms through native integrations with Confluent Cloud and enable Partners to Supercharge Growth.
Confluent has announced the Connect with Confluent technology partner program. The program enables partners to bring fully managed data streams directly to their customers through native integrations with Confluent Cloud. It also provides access to Confluent’s leading expertise for technical, sales, and marketing support to amplify go-to-market efforts and ensure customer success at every stage. By joining the program, partners tap into an ecosystem of technologies fueled by data streams and unlock massive potential for what’s possible on their platforms.
“When companies can harness streams of real-time data from previously siloed teams and applications across their business, it creates a powerful network effect that opens new avenues for growth and innovation. As technology partners bring Confluent data streams directly into their platforms, they unlock potential for more cutting edge, real-time applications to be developed on their platform,” Erica Schultz, President of Field Operations, Confluent.
To solve this problem, developers often turn to Apache Kafka. However, when partners build integrations with open source Kafka, they put extra burdens on their customers to develop and deploy Kafka clusters, which must be manually secured, governed, and managed as they scale. Customers are then responsible for individually integrating all of their data into this cluster. These operational burdens come at the expense of customers actually building and deploying anything new on the partner’s platform.
Thanks to the partner program, technology partner will enable low latency workloads from any source or sink with high-quality, serverless data streams and no data-at-rest pit stops. Unlock new data streaming use cases built on your platform with ease by eliminating data silos with Confluent’s 120+ source and sink connectors covering the entire Kafka ecosystem. It will integrate with a complete data streaming platform so your customers can focus more on driving consumption and spend less time managing open source Kafka. Shift the ongoing management and support of data streaming capabilities on your platform over to Confluent’s Kafka experts.
“With Confluent Cloud now accessible within BigQuery, customers can easily stream and analyze data in real-time from across cloud and hybrid environments. Our mission is to keep data open, flexible, and secure, and our partnership with Confluent will streamline data management and free up resources that can be reallocated toward other digital transformation projects,” said Manish Dalwadi, Director of Product Management, BigQuery, Google Cloud.
“We’re proud to join the Connect with Confluent program to partner in helping organizations break down legacy data silos, complete cloud migration projects on time and in budget, and supercharge data and analytics innovations. Bringing together Confluent Cloud and the Precisely Data Integrity Suite’s Data Integration service will seamlessly connect critical systems and data to modern platforms with resilient data pipelines,” said Anjan Kundavaram, Chief Product Officer, Precisely.
This program is being launched with the support from many Confluent technology partners, including Arcion, AWS Lambda, Clickhouse, Elastic, Google Cloud, HiveMQ, Imply, Materialize, MongoDB, Onehouse, Precisely, Qlik, Quix, Rockset, Startree, Tinybird, and Waterstream.
