SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Lucidworks, the leader in intelligent search and discovery, launches its global partner program with an emphasis on putting every partner’s success first. The new program includes comprehensive training and certification by Lucidworks, plus extensive practice with the Fusion platform from real-world projects to ensure the highest-quality implementations for customers across all industries.

“Commvault recognized Lucidworks’ innovative AI, machine learning, and cognitive search features very early on, which is why we are excited to be an early adopter and a Platinum Partner,” said Brian Brockway, Vice President and CTO at Commvault. “This technology partnership will help extend our leading vision and commitment around data protection with integrated powerful tools that give our joint customers valuable AI-driven insights from their data. The Lucidworks Partner Program will enable our field teams and joint channel partners to collaborate more seamlessly in the acceleration of our joint business opportunities.”

By partnering with Lucidworks, technology vendors, system integrators, and resellers form a global network of specialists that customers can trust and rely on to bring the power of the Lucidworks Fusion platform to their applications and solutions. The new partnership program provides the structure to equip customers worldwide with the benefits of the Lucidworks platform. This framework will ensure a complementary fit between Lucidworks and its partners. 

“Our focus on putting partners first is key to our strategy to bring the power of machine learning and AI to our customers,” said Will Hayes, CEO of Lucidworks. “With this launch, we are committing to customizing success for each partner. This allows our company and our partners to innovate together, blend our unique capabilities, and reach a broader range of organizations looking for operationalized AI.”

The program also includes OEM partners looking to create their own solutions with embedded Lucidworks technology on a broader SaaS basis or as part of a managed service cloud platform. Additionally, consulting partners who are already a company’s preferred integration vendor, can generate new revenue as system integrators and trusted advisors.
