Exabeam-LogRhythm Merger Closes, Providing More for Partners

Channel Futures: How will Exabeam and LogRhythm partners benefit from this merger? Will the merger create new opportunities for them? If so, how? 

Exabeam's Steve Wilson

Steve Wilson: Our commitment to our partners remains a top priority. This merger will only strengthen our global channel as we will have more channel partners around the world and more company resources to dedicate to their success. The combination of Exabeam and LogRhythm creates the single largest stand-alone AI-driven security operations and analytics organization with a history of being channel committed and dedicated. We only expect our relationship with our global channel partners to increase as we continue to be the most viable alternative to larger, direct-focused organizations who possess security capabilities as a small aspect of their broader business.

CF: Will the merger give the company and its partners a competitive advantage? If so, how? 

SW: The merger is intended to create a stronger foundation from which we can serve our partners. Benefits include enhanced product offerings, access to more extensive resources and the potential for expanded collaborative initiatives. In addition, Exabeam will continue to provide extensive enablement and sales programs to help partners enjoy services margin on top of the product sale, including robust managed service offerings and partner-branded deployment services.

CF: Will the two companies’ partner programs and partner ecosystems merge? If so, what will be the process and timeline? 

SW: There is no change for the immediate term. As we progress through our integration efforts, we will look to align both channel programs, bringing the best attributes from both programs to bear with our channel community.

CF: Who will lead the combined company’s channel? 

Exabeam's Ken Hammond

SW: Ken Hammond will serve as the vice president of worldwide channels and strategic alliances for the combined organization. Ken is an Exabeam veteran with deep history and relationships within the channel community.

CF: What sort of feedback has Exabeam received from partners about the merger? 

SW: Our recent merger has garnered overwhelmingly positive feedback from our partners. They've expressed enthusiasm about the expanded opportunities, enhanced capabilities and strengthened market position that this union brings. Their support underscores our confidence in the strategic benefits of this merger and reinforces our commitment to delivering even greater value to our customers and stakeholders.
