“The evolution from product to platform that we’ve been on over the last couple of years, the company is at $3 billion annual recurring revenue (ARR) right now and we have exciting sights on the future to $5 billion and $10 billion,” he said. “So we’re building into the program all the various different partner types, as well as focusing our partners really around a couple of key themes … that the program centers on: more, faster, easier. That’s really the core tenants of the Accelerate program.”

More means CrowdStrike has more products to sell, more solutions and more business outcomes to deliver to customers than ever before, Bernard said.

“So everything we’re doing is geared on helping partners build practices around CrowdStrike, whether it’s a cloud security practice, an endpoint detection and response (EDR) practice, an identity protection practice, a next-gen security information and event management (SIEM) practice and more,” he said. “Stay tuned for the more. The program centers around providing the right kind of education and enablement – and I’m going to call it entertainment, which is what education should be from my perspective – around how we get partners to understand more, operationalize more and build practices around more.”
