JFrog Introduces Innovative Customer-First Channel Partner Initiative

JFrog | September 13, 2023

This program facilitates customer integration of JFrog solutions through third-party entities while concurrently seeking to establish fresh revenue streams for both JFrog and its collaborative partners. The JFrog Global Partner Program structures itself around a co-selling approach, avoiding using a pyramid or tiered partner program, such as gold, silver, and bronze, which would require substantial initial investments. The method enables partners to gain knowledge and experience by closely collaborating with JFrog's solutions engineering, professional services, marketing, and support teams. This 'customer-first' strategy allows partners to establish and expand their practices while expediting their time-to-revenue. Tali Notman, Chief Revenue Officer at JFrog, mentioned that JFrog is rapidly expanding its presence in the enterprise sector, offering both on-premises and cloud solutions. The company's foundation is built on robust community support, and it has established itself as a pioneer in the DevOps and security fields. She further expressed enthusiasm about the future, anticipating how JFrog's growth will continue to flourish through collaboration with trusted third-party partners. Additionally, Kelly Hartman, Senior Vice President of Global Channels and Alliances at JFrog, articulated the company's objective of delivering value to partners through access to their solutions and expertise, which has garnered trust from numerous Fortune 100 companies worldwide. Meanwhile, JFrog's Partner Program offers partners a range of options to create customer value, including co-selling, reselling, or selling to US government agencies, each supported by dedicated pre- and post-sales programs. These program options are currently available, with an easy-to-use partner portal for streamlined engagement. Additionally, the program introduces new incentives and deal structures to enhance revenue generation, assigns dedicated partner managers for seamless onboarding, provides engaged support from JFrog's sales and technical teams for qualified opportunities, offers curated sales and specialized training on the JFrog Platform, furnishes co-branded marketing kits to stimulate interest and create new opportunities, and grants access to an expanded resource library of product and sales enablement assets.
