Congratulations to our European partners!
Learn why our channel partners and our growing partner community are at the core of our growth and scale strategy.
At the first summit for our European partners, we celebrated our thriving ecosystem of partners.
We communicated our commitment and support for our channel partners and our growing partner community – they are at the core of our growth and scale strategy.
At the event in Amsterdam our CEO Sanjay Brahmawar outlined our company strategy named Helix, our joint successes in 2021, our goals for 2022 and beyond, highlighted our strategic partnership with Silver Lake, and conveyed our plans for mergers and acquisitions.
In order for Software AG to have a sustainable profitable growth business, our strategic partner ecosystem is a core element to our growth and scale. Sanjay announced that our partner business had a fantastic year in 2021, growing our overall business by 130%. In fact, in 40% of opportunities found by Software AG, we aligned with the customer’s chosen partner to sell together for joint wins.
We grew our deal registration and incremental business from partners’ registered leads and nearly doubled bookings on new opportunities. Our partners are our “secret weapon” for growth! Sanjay’s and other executives comments also articulated a growing opportunity for partners in the following areas: “Partner-first” mid-market approach, expanding Professional Services coverage through our partners, and developing a recurring renewals business with our ecosystem.
At our event we awarded our best performing partners.
