Anaconda Inc. this week released details of a new channel partner program for Value-Added Resellers (VARs), distributors, direct market resellers (DMRs), global system integrators (GSIs), and referral partners worldwide that it said is designed to accelerate the programming language Python and open-source package deployments to the enterprise.
Anaconda said its repository of open-source Python packages is used by organizations to “power the data science projects and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) models driving innovation.”
The Channel Partner Program now offers three tiers, tailored to meet distinct customer needs:
-
Distributor Partner: These partners manage transactions with multiple other partners and hold industry or government-specific contract vehicles (ie. SEWP and NASPO in the U.S.).
-
Approved Partner: Approved Partners are transaction-focused partners with a broad reach from regional to global customers.
-
Premier Partner: Premier Partners are services oriented, which enables them to implement Anaconda solutions for their Customers and provide Tier one support.
Released in tandem with the new tiered partner program, Anaconda has also developed robust onboarding and support workflows to train and certify partners. The new Partner Enablement Program is provided through Anaconda Learning, offering accessible sales training and marketing assets to enhance knowledge, hone messaging, and improve overall sales performance.
