The program includes specialized software bundles, expert support for certifying offerings, and access to Confluent’s Go-To-Market (GTM) teams. This initiative aims to streamline and monetize real-time solutions built on Confluent’s data streaming platform.

Bring Data Streaming Use Cases to Market Faster
As part of the reimagined Accelerate with Confluent program, partners can deepen their collaborations to expand their businesses, open more opportunities for growth, and reach new audiences. They can build native integrations with Connect with Confluent, seamlessly help their customers transition away from traditional messaging systems and Apache Kafka® with Confluent’s Migration Accelerator, and quickly develop streaming use case offerings with Build with Confluent. Now, any partner can work hand-in-hand with Confluent to meet the high customer demand for real-time customer experiences and applications.
A wide range of use cases have been built through early access to the program, including a GenAI bot for airline customer support, fraud detection against AI-powered voice phishing, automated limit increases for credit card users, and real-time telemetry analysis for freight optimization. This is only the start with more coming to market as SIs combine their industry expertise with the power of Confluent’s leading data streaming platform.
