Alibaba Cloud is putting a lot of cash into supporting its partner egosystem.
The outfit told its 2022 Alibaba Cloud Summit to update its plans to grow the enterprise business and has used it as a forum to outline plans to spend a cool billion on a global partner system upgrade.
That billion will be spent to support partner growth over the next three fiscal years and will include financial and non-financial support, including funding, rebates and go-to-market initiatives.
The firm has launched a Regional Accelerator to make sure its efforts are targeted and that it can make sure it has the right levels of technical and vertical support, depending on the needs of the local market.
The firm emphasises that all of its partners, which include resellers, ISVs, system integrators and SaaS players as well as service and consultancy specialists, will benefit from the investment.
Alibaba Cloud president Selina Yuan claimed partners had always been a key focus for Alibaba Cloud, which was committed to providing them with strong support.
“Our revamped partner strategy prioritises our partners’ growth. By continuing to support our partners’ business expansion, we can build an inclusive ecosystem benefiting partners and customers.”
Alibaba Cloud wants more customers and used its Summit to talk up its offerings, with Cloud Enterprise Network 2.0 and the storage products ESSD Auto PL to show it had the tools to take on enterprise networks and data.
