CrowdStrike | September 21, 2022
CrowdStrike (Nasdaq: CRWD), a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, today announced the new CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider (CPSP) program. The CPSP program will help service providers unlock broader value-added solution bundles, enhance profitability and expand their routes to market. In addition, CrowdStrike is establishing a new Elite tier (currently invitation-only) that incentivizes CPSP partners with campaigns, capabilities and expanded market opportunities.
Adversaries move fast, and service providers need technologies that drive predictable and scalable security and business outcomes for their customers. Purpose-built in the cloud with a single lightweight agent, the CrowdStrike Falcon platform enables partners to rapidly deliver solutions spanning endpoint security and XDR, cloud security, identity protection, data protection, managed threat hunting, security and IT operations, threat intelligence and log management at scale and without friction.
The CPSP program will:
Offer flexible choice of solutions aligned to a customer’s business needs: CPSP partners can choose to incorporate CrowdStrike package bundles or individual Falcon platform modules into their security offerings to their customers.
Provide opportunity to enhance profitability with new incentive structures: CPSP partners will have a variety of discount options including:
CPSP partner discount for specialized package bundles and add-on modules, powered by the Falcon platform.
Volume-based discounts for CPSP package bundles, which enable partners to accelerate their speed to market with industry-leading CrowdStrike products.
Optimize go-to-market with new Elite tier: Elite CPSP partners are incentivized with new value-added bundles, new discounts, additional partnership and technical support, enhanced go-to-market support, executive sponsorship and unique CPSP-focused partner campaigns to help increase customer satisfaction with advanced security capabilities.
“Partners love the value that they get from the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, as it provides the highest level of protection for customers and is easy to implement and manage. We wanted to make sure that service providers got additive value when introducing the CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider program. To that end, we developed the CPSP program in partnership with GSIs, MDR vendors, MSPs, MSSPs and Telcos to ensure we were meeting their needs and empowering them to grow their businesses,” said Michael Rogers, vice president, global alliances at CrowdStrike.
The CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider program recognizes and rewards partners who are committed to uphold CrowdStrike’s mission of stopping breaches through the delivery of their services underpinned by the Falcon platform. Elite CPSP partners for the CrowdStrike Powered Service Provider program include: Cyber Defense Labs, Deloitte, eSentire, Marco Technologies, Orange Cyberdefense and Sirius.

Workspot | September 22, 2022
Workspot, the Cloud PC company, today announced the launch of the Workspot Cloud Alliance Program, an invite-only, cloud-forward, partner program. Through the program, Workspot provides members with the ability to sell its Cloud PC solutions to customers. Workspot will collaborate closely with members of the Cloud Alliance Program in helping customers accelerate their cloud transformation projects.
Historically, partner programs have been very transactional with limited collaboration between vendors and channel partners. Through the Cloud Alliance Program, Workspot is transforming the relationship between technology vendor, channel partner and customer, creating a laser focus on the customer’s success. Additionally, making the shift from selling on-premises solutions to focusing on SaaS is at the core of long-term partner growth and overall success as well.
“Customers are looking for solutions that accelerate their digital transformation in a multi-cloud world. We are proud to be collaborating with cloud-first partners that will enable us to jointly simplify our customers’ digital transformation,” said Amitabh Sinha, CEO & co-founder of Workspot.
“Customers are looking for solutions that accelerate their digital transformation in a multi-cloud world. We are proud to be collaborating with cloud-first partners that will enable us to jointly simplify our customers’ digital transformation,” said Amitabh Sinha, CEO & co-founder of Workspot.
Workspot has welcomed some of the foremost end user computing partners in the world, including Ferroque Systems and Entisys 360, among others. Core to the program is the selection of cloud-forward partners with extensive VDI experience, who understand the imperative of moving desktop workloads to the cloud to take their customers into the future. Workspot found it critical to choose partners who have a strong culture of customer centricity, empathy for the importance of the end-user experience, and a collaborative mindset that drives overall customer success.
Ferroque Systems, a digital workspace and virtualization service provider, sees a significant opportunity to help customers modernize end user computing by using Workspot Cloud PCs and workstations. “SaaS applications continue to grow in popularity because of their operational efficiency,” said Michael Shuster, CEO of Ferroque. “With the post-pandemic market doubling down on digital workspaces in general for all workstyles, we view moving desktop workloads to a SaaS model as transformational for our customers with unique advantages over other digital workspace models.”
Todd Hsu, President of Ferroque, added “Most of our customers have a multi-cloud strategy so they can optimize for features and cost. Workspot fulfills that strategy with its ability to deploy Cloud PCs across multiple clouds, manage and monitor them easily from a single admin console, and scale globally in minutes so our customers can respond to new opportunities instantly. That’s a great formula for customer success.”
“Customers are looking to the cloud to achieve new levels of agility and security, and Cloud PCs have quickly become an essential component of enterprise cloud-forward strategies,” said Mike Strohl, CEO of Entisys 360. “Workspot’s SaaS platform makes it easy for us to move desktop workloads to the cloud and deliver the flexibility and reliability our customers require to keep up with a complex and ever-changing business environment.”
In today’s IT landscape, having access to multi-cloud solutions is critical for customers to transform the end user experience and achieve levels of agility, security and reliability previously unattainable. As organizations’ cloud-first strategies mature, they are turning to their trusted consulting partners for cloud solutions that modernize end user computing. Just as many enterprise applications are now delivered as SaaS solutions, the modern desktop is now a Cloud PC, delivered as a service with massively simplified management. This model enables channel partners to easily fulfill customer requirements while also building a recurring revenue stream for their own business.
The Workspot Cloud Alliance Program re-defines traditional partner programs and generates new revenue opportunities for members. Both parties work closely together to bring the full complement of technology, solution expertise and a growth mindset to customers, with ongoing customer satisfaction as the measure of success for all parties. Customers benefit from SaaS flexibility, with predictable pricing tailored to each use case and instant, global scalability to respond to new opportunities. Layered security enforces Zero-Trust policy, and innovative high-availability features that are unmatched in the industry keep the business up and running during a continuity event. These key capabilities accelerate digital transformation and future-proof organizations’ technology stacks so they can be ready for anything in today’s dynamic business environment.
Workspot is the only solution on the market offering multi-cloud support for Cloud PCs, including the big three public clouds, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services, giving customers the ultimate freedom to select best-of-breed cloud capabilities for each use case. With Workspot’s very high customer satisfaction, including an NPS score of 76 and 100% customer support satisfaction, members of the Cloud Alliance program can also have complete confidence they are offering their customers the very best end user computing solution.
