We are firm believers that partnership is the foundation from which collaboration and innovation is built upon. As a GitLab Alliance Partner, you’ll have access to the resources, tools, and support you need to accelerate business growth providing greater customer value through solution offerings that are integrated and interoperable with GitLab.
We recognize that not all partners have the same needs or goals, and as such, our program is designed with three Alliance Partner types in mind.
| Cloud Partners | Platform Partners | Technology Partners |
|---|---|---|
| Partners that provide public cloud computing services and software marketplaces where customers can procure and deploy GitLab | Partners that provide modern cloud / cloud-native application platforms which increase the modularity and extensibility of GitLab across enterprises and architectures | Independent Software Vendors (ISV) Partners with complementary technologies that seamlessly integrate / interoperate with GitLab for more complete customer solutions |
Mutually beneficial value exchange drives mutual partner success. We believe these pillars ensure a more sustainable future.
There are a variety of ways to partner together and package joint solutions. Partner type, solution/service offering, and route to market are all considerations when determining the right distribution model – resale or co-sell. Below are a few examples of how GitLab works with Alliance Partners to deliver consumable solutions to customers.
GitLab Alliance Partners are a key part of GitLab’s commitment to the DevOps community.
