Gluware Garners Spot in 2024 CRN Partner Program Guide

SACRAMENTO, Calif. March 25, 2024 — Gluware, the leader in intelligent network automation, has been honored by CRN^®, a brand of The Channel Company, with inclusion in its 2024 Partner Program Guide. This annual guide provides essential information to solution providers exploring technology vendor partner programs that offer high value and align with their business needs and goals.

This is the third consecutive year that Gluware has been honored in the CRN Partner Program Guide and the first since the launch of the company’s new partner program, Gluware Accelerate, in the spring of 2023. Gluware was listed in this year’s guide, in part, because of the launch of Gluware Accelerate, which was pivotal in helping to provide new investments and enablement for partners. This program also created a method and structure to align to a channel-first sales process. Gluware’s capabilities provide value out-of-the-box and are suited for partners who service end users in Global 2000 enterprises with highly distributed workforces, who are prone to network outages due to manual error and network complexity.

“We are proud to be listed in CRN’s Partner Program Guide for the third year in a row, particularly after the launch of Gluware Accelerate and another stellar year of work with our partners,” said Colin Henry, Vice President of Channel Sales. “Gluware Accelerate provides the resources our partners need to bring no-code network automation and orchestration to their customers. Enterprises are looking for better ways to improve network performance, security and resilience, and partners are their trusted advisors. Gluware Accelerate provides growth opportunities for partners, empowering them to deliver network capabilities that competitive enterprises require.”

The breadth and depth of support and resources technology vendors offer through their partner programs is a critical consideration for solution providers assessing which IT vendors, service providers, and distributors to team with in building world-class technology solutions. Program elements such as financial incentives, sales and marketing assistance, training and certification, technical support and more can set vendors apart and play a key role in boosting their partners’ long-term growth.

For the 2024 Partner Program Guide, CRN evaluated vendors based on program requirements and offerings such as partner training and education, pre- and post-sales support, marketing programs and resources, technical support, and communication.

“Recognition on this list reflects the value of spotlighted vendor partner programs and their commitment to evolving with solution providers and supporting IT channel success,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “This recognition empowers solution providers to discover vendors that keep pace with the evolving requirements of their business and their clients. With CRN’s 2024 Partner Program Guide, solution providers can access deep insights into the unique strengths of each partner program and the vendors who demonstrate dedication to their partner community.”

The 2024 Partner Program Guide will be featured in the April 2024 issue of CRN and online at www.CRN.com/PPG.
