Confluent announced the Confluent OEM Programme. The new programme for managed service providers (MSPs), cloud service providers (CSPs), and independent software vendors (ISVs) makes it easy to launch and enhance customer offerings with a complete data streaming platform for Apache Kafka and Apache Flink. With license to globally redistribute or embed Confluent’s enterprise-grade platform, partners can bring real-time products and Kafka offerings to market faster and easily monetise customer demand for data streaming with limited risk.
“As data-driven technologies like GenAI become essential to enterprise operations, conversation has shifted from ‘if’ or ‘when’ a business will need data streaming to ‘what’s the fastest, most cost-effective way to get started?’” said Kamal Brar, Senior Vice President, Worldwide ISV and APAC, Confluent. “We help our partners unlock new revenue streams by meeting the growing demand for real-time data within every region they serve. Confluent offers the fastest route to delivering enterprise-grade data streaming, enabling partners to accelerate service delivery, reduce support costs, and minimise overall complexity and risk.”
Grow faster with enterprise-grade data streaming
The Confluent OEM Programme alleviates the burdens of self-managing open source technologies while going far beyond just Kafka and Flink. Confluent simplifies data streaming by eliminating the operational complexities of open source deployments, accelerating delivery times, and ensuring customer success through ongoing expert support. Secure, governed data streams can be available wherever needed—on premises, at the edge, and in the cloud.
MSPs and CSPs can easily deliver a complete data streaming platform through Confluent, providing a hassle-free solution for unlocking more customer projects across AI, real-time analytics, application modernisation and more. ISVs can embed Confluent within their products or applications to cost-effectively power modern customer experiences fueled by real-time data.
