Nextcloud Channel Partner Program: expanding collaboration with channel sales

We are happy to announce our new Nextcloud Channel Partner Program that enables our partners further and helps organizations worldwide get started with Nextcloud more easily.

Introducing Nextcloud Channel Partner Program

The new partner program gives businesses and the public sector access to sovereign technology from familiar vendors and local services, enabling them to improve resilience and reduce their dependency on Big Tech. The engagement with the channel is part of the recently announced commitment of Nextcloud to invest €250 million in digital sovereignty by 2030.

The program brings many benefits to our partners and customers:

• Boosts joint activities with partners significantly
• Streamlines processes
• Promotes further international expansion

Digital sovereignty is a joint task. That’s why we don’t want to just create another partner program, but rather an ecosystem that is committed to this goal and works together to make organizations across the globe more independent and resilient.

High demand for resilient solutions creates sales potential for the channel

Demand for Nextcloud has grown threefold worldwide compared to last year, and system integrators and IT service firms receive a constant stream of questions about solutions that would reduce reliance on a handful of big tech firms. Through the Nextcloud Channel Partner Program, partners have the opportunity to expand their product portfolio with a data-sovereign solution, while also benefiting commercially from this growing trend.

The partner program will also drive Nextcloud’s international expansion.

We are seeing interest from almost every region of the world. This makes it all the more important for us to have local experts who can support customers on their journey to digital sovereignty. It’s not just about selling more; it’s about making real alternatives to Big Tech available everywhere.

More resources for the channel

Over the past few months, Nextcloud has invested in a dedicated marketing team and sales resources to support its channel partners. Nextcloud provides the technology and assists partners with joint go-to-market activities. A three-tier system provides transparent opportunities to partners, creating a clear roadmap and facilitating the planning of joint activities.

The program provides partners with the necessary tools and knowledge to develop the right solutions for their customers, integrated in their existing offerings. Alongside ready-to-use, scalable software and integration components, partners also receive tailor-made options for migration, deployment, scaling, and support, reducing the required effort to help their customers get started.
