Check Point has been a Microsoft partner since the mid-1990s and has been recognized for numerous achievements, including Most Prolific Integration Partner at the Microsoft Security 20/20 awards and a Partner of the Year distinction at the 2020 Microsoft US Partner Awards. Check Point’s solutions, such as its CloudGuard Network Security, are available in the Azure Marketplace.
Beating expectations with big webinar turnouts and more marketplace page visits
For the past two years, Check Point has regularly met with a Marketplace Rewards engagement manager, who has collaborated with Check Point on partner benefits, such as Azure Marketplace listing optimizations, social promotions, and a spot in a Microsoft internal commercial marketplace newsletter. This has created opportunities for engagement with hundreds of Microsoft sellers, which has driven dozens of co-sell opportunities. Check Point is currently targeting double-digit year-over-year growth of its pay-as-you-go offerings, as well as increasing awareness of its offerings for enterprise customers looking to tap into the Microsoft Azure consumption commitment.
After a successful initial webinar in February 2020 and in the next month passing the threshold of $5 million in billed sales, Check Point was invited to co-present with two Azure experts from Microsoft. The result was impressive: 972 people registered for the webinar, and 578 attended live.
