Summary

InfluxData has made significant progress in 2020 despite the COVID-19 pandemic, reaching users worldwide through its new Authorized Channel Partner program. The program features a robust ecosystem of distributor and reseller partners that help support InfluxDB users globally, particularly in the Asia Pacific region with a focus on IoT use cases. New enterprise customers and community users were welcomed by these partners, including Japanese giant SoftBank, Chinese telecom leader China Mobile, and Korean telecom company SK Broadband. Regional distributors like Digital China, Hyundai BS&C, and IIIOT Infotech play a crucial role in supporting the resellers and providing local language assistance to make InfluxDB purchases seamless. The program badges, such as Platinum Partner, Gold Partner, and Authorized Distributor, designate ongoing commitment to the partnership with InfluxData, while new partnerships with Digital China and Hyundai BS&C were established to accelerate deals. As InfluxDB continues to be adopted worldwide, the channel program will focus on building relationships with new regional partners and collaborating with existing partner communities.
