Sonatype expands partner benefits with new Partner Acceleration Program

Software supply chain management provider Sonatype has revealed its latest partner programme, which introduces new perks to help boost partnership value and drive growth.

The firm said its new Partner Acceleration Program framework offers a wider range of benefits and increased go-to-market value for solution providers, global systems integrators, and technology integration alliances.

Partners will have access to structured tiers of benefits designed to support increased time to value and customer growth, with increased access to resources as they grow their business – including dedicated partner managers, co-branded marketing materials, technical support, and more.

“This is an incredible time of growth for our Sonatype partner ecosystem,” said Bruce Gordon, SVP of global channel sales and alliances at Sonatype.

"The demand for software supply chain management solutions continues to skyrocket as organisations increasingly recognise the need to understand the open source their applications depend on.

“We have an outstanding community of partners from across the globe providing industry-leading services and technologies. We’re excited to now provide this partner community with additional benefits designed to increase the value and delivery speed of safe and secure open source software.”

Sonatype’s software supply chain management platform is designed to address every element of an organisation’s entire software development lifecycle, including third-party open source code, first-party source code, as well as containerised code.

The solution works to identify critical security vulnerabilities and code quality issues, reporting results directly to developers when they can most efficiently fix them.

To date, more than 2,000 organisations, including 15 million software developers, rely on the platform’s tools to deliver and maintain secure software.

With its new Partner Acceleration Program, Sonatype said it has built an ecosystem of technically certified solution providers, system integrators, and technology alliances that shares its vision, enabling organisations to scale and secure their application development processes.

Allen Talbott, vice president of sales at Sonatype partner Saltworks Security, praised the level of security and guidance the vendor offers.

“The open source intelligence and security that Sonatype’s platform provides across the entire software development life cycle is second to none,” he said.

“Our long-time partnership with Sonatype has been incredibly valuable in growing our business, securing new clients, and giving our customers the information, tools, and software supply chain guidance they need to transform their development processes and build world-class application security programmes.”
