Nextgen’s strong alignment with Amazon Web Services (AWS) – Cloudera’s trusted partner in the cloud native data management and analytics space – further increases Cloudera’s relevance in Public Cloud. This opens up opportunities to build joint go-to-market strategies with Nextgen’s complementary vendors in areas such as data management & analytics, cybersecurity and backup. Customers will have access to choices and support enhancement.

“The future of data is artificial intelligence (AI), and this collaboration (with Nextgen) fits seamlessly into our corporate strategy of accelerating the path to AI for enterprises,” said Cloudera regional vice president ANZ Keir Garrett. “With Cloudera being Nextgen’s sole AI and data platform vendor, we can jointly target new customers in the commercial market, offering them the same hybrid data management experience as our existing enterprise and public sector customers. Partners and customers can now unlock the potential of Cloudera’s enterprise data cloud through ongoing enablement and training.”

Garrett continued, “Extending our partner ecosystem in data and trusted enterprise AI with Nextgen, allows us to identify larger transformational and more profitable projects for the channel, deliver continuous innovation and better business outcomes for our customers, and ultimately empower them to truly democratise AI and accelerate time to value.”

According to Nextgen Group founder and CEO John Walters, “Companies today are buying solutions, not technology and it’s no longer enough as a vendor to have the best technology. Solutions are made from technology from different vendors and implemented by several organisations with cross-domain expertise. Nextgen is looking for the right partnerships in place as well as technology. This strategic partnership simplifies and accelerates the process of getting Cloudera’s best of breed technology to market and provides additional ecosystem access to our customers’ solutions.”

One of ANZ’s leading technology services groups, Nextgen provides value-added services for channel partners, such as Sales-as-a-Service, marketing services, and cloud advisory, along with pre- and post-deal support. Through its smarter next generation distribution model, the distributor specialises in best-of-breed solutions across digital enterprise and cloud, cyber security, and data management, and helps partners identify new markets, technologies, and opportunities to generate demand and drive success.
