The Connect with Confluent (CwC) partner program is designed to enhance the global data streaming ecosystem by allowing technology partners to integrate Confluent directly into their platforms, providing a fast path to support end-to-end real-time use cases. As enterprises increasingly demand real-time data access for improved customer experiences, the program offers partners access to Confluent’s extensive data stream network, which processes over an exabyte of data annually, as well as expert resources across engineering, marketing, and sales to maximize integration and consumption. The program addresses the challenges of modular application development where critical business data is often dispersed across disconnected systems by facilitating low-latency data movement without the costs and complexities associated with traditional cloud storage. Through partnerships with Confluent, companies can leverage a cloud-native data streaming platform that offers built-in stream processing, governance, and security, enabling them to rapidly deploy new use cases securely and reliably across multiple environments. This collaboration not only enhances customer innovation but also accelerates market adoption and expands sales opportunities by offering a superior experience in managing real-time data streams.
