ClouBees expands into Latin America and APAC

CloudBees has launched an expanded partner program that features greater regional access to Jenkins-based products and services, in addition to new benefits for the growing CloudBees partner ecosystem. With the expanded program, CloudBees and Jenkins expertise is now available in all regions, including Latin America and Asia Pacific, as well as more extensive coverage throughout North America and Europe. The program enhancements are a direct result of the global and growing demands for enterprise Jenkins solutions.

Upgrades to the program ensure that customers seeking enterprise Jenkins solutions can take advantage of an expanded range of product and services providers – to support both open source Jenkins and the CloudBees Jenkins Platform – no matter where the customer is located.

The program changes also address specific needs of CloudBees’ Services, Resellers and Training partners, delivering tailored benefits to each partner type.

“As the Enterprise Jenkins Company, CloudBees is committed to helping our customers and partners become more successful,” said Durga Sammeta, senior director of global alliances and channels, CloudBees. “Through the delivery of key sales and technical tools, resources, training and content, we will ensure that our partners are positioned to effectively deliver the CloudBees Jenkins Platform to users in their geography. Our Jenkins-based solutions enable enterprise software delivery teams to fully leverage the value their organizations can get from adoption of continuous delivery practices, powered by Jenkins.”

In addition to geographic expansion, the CloudBees’ partner program includes new categories for Reseller and Training partners. The program also adds two new tiers for both Reseller and Services partners: Platinum, for partners already entrenched in delivering Jenkins solutions at enterprise scale; and Gold, for partners looking to expand their Jenkins practices.

All partners will receive enhanced benefits and access to additional resources from CloudBees to drive growth and profitability, uncover new business opportunities and capitalize on growth of Jenkins adoption. Benefits include:
· Dedicated partner managers
· Software for demo use
· Partner onboarding and enablement
· Discounts on classroom training
