Veracode is pleased to announce the launch of the new Veracode Velocity Partner Program. We’ve crafted a 3-step approach to align, enable, and engage with our partners so together we can make the world's software secure.

What is the Veracode Velocity Partner Program?

The Veracode Velocity Partner Program enables our valued Solution Providers to accelerate their application security revenues leveraging the Veracode Platform. Through a role-based strategy and approach, partners can engage and collaborate with Veracode to achieve our mutual goals and objectives. The knowledge, skills, insights, competencies, and best practices gained enhance our partners’ ability to deliver industry-leading security solutions and services.   

This comprehensive program offers our partners tools, resources, and programs to help ensure success at every stage of the customer journey. The goal is to empower our partner teams so they can effectively sell, market, and support the Veracode Platform in our joint go-to-market efforts.

How does the Veracode Velocity Partner Program work?

Our strategy for the Veracode Velocity Partner Program features a 3-step approach for optimizing our market reach through our valued partnerships.

1. Alignment: Defining Success Through Joint Go-to-Market Planning

The first step is Alignment. Veracode, together with our partners, develops and implements joint marketing plans that feature marketing campaigns and activities designed to achieve our mutual goals and objectives. We leverage our respective resources to ensure our efforts result in a positive return on investment to drive future collaboration and co-marketing activities.

Through our dedicated partner resources, we support partners throughout the customer buying process – from initial market awareness through to final decision making.

  • The Veracode Partner Marketing Team delivers tools and resources to enhance partners’ AppSec acumen and enrich their interactions with their customers.
  • The Veracode Sales team, including our Channel Sales Team and Account Executive Teams, works closely with partners to share best practices and insights on how to best address customer AppSec requirements leveraging the Veracode Platform
  • Veracode Solution Architects work alongside partner technical teams to deliver compelling product demonstrations, assist in managing pre-sales technical discussions, along with providing tips and techniques for effective objection handling

Once we are aligned, then it’s time to enable.
