TLDR for sales

Initial ecosystem partners include GuidePoint Security, Ahead, DXC Technology, and AWS. CRN has the exclusive. Use this with partners to show 7AI is building the program around them: co-build, co-market, and co-sell, not resale-only.

What's announced

  • The 7AI Alliance Partner Program, a unified ecosystem spanning solution providers, systems integrators, service providers, technology alliance partners, and cloud providers, designed to co-build, co-market, and co-sell rather than compete for the same customer.
  • Zachary Kilpatrick joins as SVP, Global Alliances, previously leader of global GTM Partners at Cribl, to build and lead the program worldwide.
  • Partner momentum: 6.5x channel pipeline over three quarters, a 7x increase in partner-registered wins quarter over quarter, and nearly 45% of pipeline now originating through partners.
  • Initial ecosystem partners: GuidePoint Security, Ahead, DXC Technology, and AWS through Security Hub Extended.
  • Program structure: Select and Premier tiers, value-based discounts, deal registration and renewal-incumbency protection, and dedicated alliance, sales, and technical resources. Available now at 7ai.com/partners.

How to talk about it

  • Partner-first, not resale-first. The program is built around partners co-building and co-selling, not just reselling.
  • One ecosystem, not separate lanes. Solution providers, systems integrators, service providers, technology alliances, and cloud providers reinforce one another rather than compete.
  • Lead with the momentum. 6.5x pipeline, 7x partner-registered wins, 45% partner-originated. The channel motion is already working.
  • The compounding opportunity. Hunts drive investigations, investigations inform response, response feeds detection. Each stage is a new way for partners to add value and expand services.
