GEC NEWS WIRECommvault revealed continued business expansion by its ecosystem of channel partners worldwide as a result of the implementation of the Commvault Data Platform as the foundation of wider General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) solutions.
“While many organizations are viewing GDPR as something of a burden, it actually presents very positive opportunities for a more strategic level of discussion around data management and protection,” commented Richard Wyn Griffith, Solutions Sales Director, Softcat. “Our long and close partnership with Commvault means we can help organizations make the vital initial assessments and management of their data, which will become critical post May 25.”
The complexity of the IT & business challenge represented by GDPR has enabled Commvault partners to increase the level of strategic engagement and deliver increased value to customers. The Commvault Data Platform has fully integrated application frameworks, capabilities and packaged service offerings all specifically created to help organizations better protect and manage data across all workloads. As a result, Commvault customers are able to obtain better data insights for compliance, eDiscovery and a variety of other digital transformation use cases, including meeting GDPR and other regulatory requirements.
“GDPR presents a great opportunity for partners to guide customers along their compliance journey and to support vital data management initiatives,” said Carla Arend, Senior Program Director, European Software and Infrastructure Research, IDC. “Choosing a technology vendor who has strong technical capabilities as well as a deep understanding of how to apply their technology appropriately for GDPR compliance is important for partners to build and scale their own GDPR capabilities. The GDPR opportunity for partners ranges from helping customers to achieve compliance to identifying business opportunities based on GDPR compliance.”
Several customers are already using CommvaultÒ Sensitive Data Governance to reduce the risks and costs of relying on a variety of niche products and manual processes.
Scott Strubel, Commvault Head of Worldwide Channels, added: “The complexities and regulatory requirements of GDPR are such that the channel has a real opportunity to step up and assume the position of technology champion and genuine trustee of GDPR delivery for organizations looking to May 25 and beyond. Through working closely with us, and using Commvault’s advanced data protection offerings as the foundation for many of their broader GDPR technology offerings, our partners are not only growing their pipelines, but more importantly growing true, long-term, and successful, customer relationships,” Strubel said.
With GDPR going into effect on May 25th, organizations can learn how they can gain insight and real business value from their data by joining Commvault’s on-demand Webinar on the Business Benefits of GDPR Readiness. This session will provide attendees the opportunity to better understand how they can reduce costs and increase productivity and efficiency by improving their management of data.
