Nutanix unveils Partner Central to boost partner experience

Nutanix has launched Nutanix Partner Central, a platform aimed at improving the partner experience by bringing key resources and information into a unified, intelligence-driven portal.

Nutanix Partner Central is positioned as a centralised hub where partners can access the materials, insights, and support they need to sell Nutanix solutions more effectively and efficiently. The platform is designed to streamline daily operations and enable partners to uncover new business opportunities.

The goals of Nutanix Partner Central reflect a focused approach. According to the company, the concept is to provide the most important information in one accessible place, giving partners the means to make quicker and more informed decisions. With this approach, Nutanix aims to help its partners focus on growth in the hybrid multicloud sector.

Guiding principles

The design and development of Nutanix Partner Central were driven by four guiding principles outlined by Nutanix: profitability, product, long-term commitment, and trust.

Under the profitability principle, the platform is said to go beyond simply improving margins. It offers partners visibility into their business performance, the possibility to discover new revenue streams, and the ability to maximise their earning potential through participation in the Nutanix Elevate Partner Programme. The company intends for partners to achieve greater returns on their Nutanix business initiatives by leveraging these tools.

The second principle, product, carries over the core simplicity of Nutanix's hybrid multicloud offerings. Within the platform, partners will be provided with access to critical data and market insights, allowing them to better capture demand, win more deals, and foster stronger relationships with customers.

The long-term commitment principle is reflected in the channel-first strategy behind Nutanix Partner Central. The company describes this as a stable and predictable way of supporting partners, reinforced by ongoing investment in incentives, programmes, and additional tools, which are expected to evolve in response to changing partner needs.

Trust is the final principle, focusing on transparency and platform security. Nutanix intends the platform to be available around the clock with access to vital business information. There is an emphasis on building confidence in the accuracy of the data and the effectiveness of the Nutanix partnership programmes. Partners are given a direct line for collaboration with Nutanix's sales teams, with the aim of achieving mutual success.

"The aim with Nutanix Partner Central is straightforward: bring the most critical information into one place so that Nutanix partners can make faster, better-informed decisions and focus on driving growth."

This statement captures the central theme of the company's approach to supporting partners with their sales and operational efforts.

Future developments

The initial release of Nutanix Partner Central is described as the first of several planned phases. Nutanix has stated that future enhancements are in development to further improve the platform's capabilities. These features include complete customer renewal insights, the introduction of an artificial intelligence-powered assistant, PartnerGPT, role-based views for tailored user experiences, an updated Partner Locator function, expanded demand generation insights, and personalised dashboards for partners. Nutanix underscores that each planned update is shaped by direct partner feedback to ensure the platform meets user needs and continues to develop relevant tools.

All features are intended to enhance ease of doing business, giving partners practical support that reflects their everyday requirements in the market, according to Nutanix's announcement.

Current availability

Nutanix Partner Central is now accessible to all existing partners. Partners who wish to utilise the new platform can do so immediately, with no additional steps required to gain access.

The release of Nutanix Partner Central marks a step in the company's strategy to facilitate access to its resources and continue engagement with partners in the hybrid multicloud sector.
