Rubrik customers are looking to their solution providers to recommend best-in-class cloud data management solutions, as well as to provide the expertise to configure, install, and integrate those solutions effectively into their environment. In response to this growing demand, Rubrik continues to make significant investments to better equip and enable our partners to build and deliver professional services around Rubrik solutions. Today, I’m excited to announce enhancements to the Velocity Partner Program, offering our services-oriented partners the opportunity to further differentiate their business through a Rubrik Professional Services Partner (RPSP) Specialization. 

The RPSP Specialization enables Select and Elite Velocity partners to deepen their services capabilities and margin-rich services revenue opportunities by delivering value-add services for Rubrik solutions. The specialization is a demonstration of Rubrik’s commitment to the success of our partners and desire to scale professional services delivery through the channel. This specialization offers a major differentiator for partners that are making investments in their professional services practice and technical proficiency.

With the RPSP Specialization, partners will be uniquely equipped to evolve their Rubrik services beyond installation and configuration  to increase customer satisfaction and deepen customer relationships. To help deliver these services, RPSP specialized partners will receive exclusive services delivery tools and gain priority access to Rubrik certification programs. Our joint customers will see direct benefits, as the RPSP Specialization drives more consistency and higher capabilities around services, ensuring customers receive the highest level of professional services from Rubrik and our partners.

“As a Rubrik Elite partner that has been working with Rubrik on professional services engagements since 2016, we are excited about the new opportunities available to us with this Specialization,” says Samuel Rothenbuehler, CTO Enterprise Cloud at Amanox Solutions. “The Rubrik Professional Services Partner Specialization will enable us to differentiate ourselves within the marketplace, further hone our technical expertise, and develop more advanced services offerings to drive even more value for our mutual customers.”

The RPSP Specialization is the latest addition to our Velocity partner program, building upon the Rubrik Authorized Support Partner Specialization (RASP) that Rubrik announced last year. The RASP Specialization allows a select, high-performing group of partners to act as a one-stop-shop for support across multiple IT vendors, offering customers a single point of contact for fast issue resolution. I’m really looking forward to seeing our Select and Elite partners leverage the RPSP Specialization to further grow their services business with Rubrik and deliver even more value to our joint customers.
