Varonis Launches Channel Partner Program To Strengthen Partner Relations And Extend Data Governance To Wider Audience
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Varonis Systems Inc. (http://www.varonis.com), the leading innovator and provider of comprehensive data governance software, today announced the Varonis Partner Program (VPP), a key component of the company's go-to-market strategy as it scales to accommodate exponential growth in demand for its data governance solutions. Developed with existing channel partner input, the program reinforces Varonis' commitment to fulfill customer demand through a 100 percent indirect sales channel.
The VPP builds on Varonis' existing partner program, introducing a new two-tiered structure that provides benefits that increase as partners increase their engagement with Varonis. Benefits include access to a dedicated partner manager, pre-sales support, free online certification training, Varonis marketing automation systems and a partner portal for 24/7 access to sales enablement, marketing, demo, opportunity registration and informational assets. These new benefits and requirements are aimed at driving closer, more efficient and more productive relationships with partners and customers alike.
"In today's economic climate, companies are only purchasing ‘must have' IT solutions," said Ira Silverman, chief executive officer at Gotham Technology Group. "Varonis DatAdvantage is one of those technologies because it slashes operating expenditures for organizations of all sizes and across nearly every industry. The Varonis Partner Program is an exciting addition for us, offering benefits that will strengthen our Varonis business."
"The Varonis Partner Program is an exciting opportunity for us that will help grow our business," said Hayes Drumright, president at Trace|3. "It has excellent resources, offering everything from product and sales training to lead generation and deal registration. We've seen strong demand for Varonis, and these resources help us address customer needs and make the products easy to sell."
With the demand for technology to govern and protect data estimated at $3.15 billion in 2008, the VPP increases partner access to one of the fastest growing market segments in IT. Earlier this month Varonis Systems sponsored a Ponemon Institute study on the governance of unstructured data that overwhelmingly revealed that businesses lack the ability to govern their unstructured data. Inefficient, time-consuming processes have made the task all but impossible. Varonis is the first and only company whose products can scale efficiently and practically to control, manage and continuously audit data use by recommending and automating who should not have access to certain data sets. Varonis' products enable businesses to monitor unstructured data-use without involving the IT department, instituting infrastructure changes or disrupting business.
"The Varonis Partner Program is essential to providing our dedicated partners with a simple and powerful way to tap into market demand for unstructured data governance solutions," said Johnnie Konstantas, vice president of marketing at Varonis. "It is clear from our conversations with VARs there is a huge, pent-up demand for products that can deliver the visibility companies need to gain a more detailed picture of corporate data access behavior. With the VPP, we've created a mutually beneficial ecosystem of partners, customers and resellers leveraging the strength of our data governance solutions across a wide variety of markets and organizations."
