Itential Unveils AUTOMATEx Partner Program to Empower Partners to Capitalize on the Growing Network Automation & Orchestration Market
New global channel program enables partners to tap into the $30B+ network automation market, accelerate revenue growth, and deliver cutting-edge automation solutions at scale.
ATLANTA, MARCH 11, 2025 – Itential, the leader in network automation and orchestration software, today announced the launch of the AUTOMATEx Partner Program, a new channel initiative designed to empower Value-Added Resellers (VARs), Global Systems Integrators (GSIs), Federal Systems Integrators (FSIs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to accelerate revenue growth, expand their automation and orchestration solution expertise, and deliver cutting-edge network automation solutions at scale.
With the network automation market projected to exceed $30B globally, enterprises are under increasing pressure to simplify operations, scale efficiently, and keep pace with evolving infrastructure demands. Yet, many organizations struggle with the complexity of automation adoption, lacking the expertise, tools, and strategic guidance to drive success.
The AUTOMATEx Partner Program addresses this challenge by providing a structured, tiered approach tailored to each partner’s profile and go-to-market strategy. Through Itential’s market-leading platform, along with technical training, sales enablement, and go-to-market support, partners can develop deep expertise in network automation while unlocking new revenue opportunities. With AUTOMATEx, partners gain the resources and technology needed to expand their market presence and deliver automation solutions that drive real business impact.
As enterprises navigate growing network complexity, automation is no longer optional — it’s essential for agility and efficiency. With AUTOMATEx, we are investing in a sales strategy that embraces partners to extend our reach to more enterprise customers in the market. This innovative channel program delivers the technology, training, and go-to-market support that partners need to scale their automation practices and drive measurable success.
