22 More enablement, more training and a new ARTESCA Challenge By Eric Leblanc, GM for ARTESCA, Scality Scality’s channel partner program continues to grow with a multitude of efforts, strategic hires and incentives. So far, this year: The first seven-figure deal for Scality ARTESCA was inked. Our global presence has expanded with ARTESCA customers in seven countries. RING and ARTESCA are now represented in over 50 countries. More than 400 trained Scality Certified Architects now span the globe. We’ve bolstered our executive bench in the Americas region with the addition of Melissa Lyons as senior director of channels, and Candida Valois has been promoted to field CTO for Americas. Globally, we’re making more and more strides to provide our partners with everything they need to be successful — because our partner program is truly about creating win-wins. That includes rolling out a new structured partner program that enables deal protection with a minimum guaranteed margin, provides new sales enablement tools and includes a new partner portal. Join the ARTESCA Challenge for cash and prizes As part of these efforts, we’ve also launched a new challenge program focused on Scality ARTESCA. Launched last year, ARTESCA uniquely positions our partners to capitalize on the new cloud-native era. Offering a small footprint at the edge as well as scalability for the data center, it’s ideal for a new generation of applications, including artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytics. The challenge is simple: The more ARTESCA qualified opportunities a partner identifies and sells, the more points they collect and the more prizes they can win. Any registered Scality channel partner — both sales and pre-sales — can participate, and the challenge includes qualified opportunities from April through December 2022. The grand prize? A week-long trip to Mauritius — an island nation in the Indian Ocean, off the southeastern coast of Africa. Relax on stunning beaches, enjoy hikes through national parks to breathtaking waterfalls, and stand on top of mountains overlooking sparkling lagoons. Screenshot The more points you collect, the more you increase your chances of winning. Other prizes include an HD TV and a drone. For program details and to register, go here.
