Confluent Announces Accelerate with Confluent, a Revamped and Services-Led Partner Program for System Integrators

Confluent, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFLT), the data streaming pioneer, today announced Accelerate with Confluent, a program for systems integrators (SIs) that prioritizes excellence in Confluent Professional Services to empower partners to deliver comprehensive data streaming solutions.

Businesses hoping to thrive in today’s digital-first world need a modern platform for data in motion, in order to provide stellar customer experiences and seamless business operations. Apache Kafka has become the industry standard for data in motion and is used by more than 150,000 organizations including over 75% of the Fortune 500. Confluent provides a truly cloud-native experience, completing Kafka with a holistic set of enterprise-grade features to unleash developer productivity, operate efficiently at scale, and meet architectural requirements. Underpinning the platform is a 99.99% uptime SLA and committer-driven expertise, providing support and services with over five million engineering hours of technical experience since 2018. This is coupled with the recent announcement of the general availability of Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink, a fully managed service for Flink that enables customers to process data in real time and create high-quality, reusable data streams. Confluent Cloud for Apache Flink enables users to build streaming data pipelines and Confluent integrates with leading vector database vendors to simplify and accelerate the development of critical generative AI initiatives. Confluent allows customers to experience Kafka and Flink as a unified, enterprise-grade platform to connect and process data in real time, wherever it is needed.

With Confluent, customers can accelerate their real-time data streaming journey across any industry and use case, helping teams be more efficient and focus more on productivity. However, Confluent SI partners don’t always have the resources they need to bring data streaming to their applications and end users without direct support from Confluent. Business and technology leads at these companies encounter a wide range of challenges with building and bringing to market new data streaming capabilities that offer their customers the best experience for working with real-time data.
