Partner momentum with New Relic’s observability platform 

As customers go through their cloud journey, they often use a myriad of consultants, service providers and technology providers, and each cloud provider has an ecosystem of partners to maximize the value of their cloud and create new ways of procuring technology and services. New Relic has developed relationships with many of the leading partners in each of the cloud ecosystems and will continue to invest in the partners that extend the reach of the platform and create new routes to market. Recent NRPN successes include entering agreements with some of the industry’s leading consultants, signing several new MSPs and driving continued momentum with sales through cloud marketplaces such as the AWS Marketplace. 

As New Relic’s technology partners continue to increase their integration of data with its platform, New Relic is formally launching its Technology Partner Program with 16 partners – including Fastly, MongoDB, PagerDuty, and Turbonomic – which have committed to building enhanced integrations and applications on the New Relic platform.
