Cohesity has announced updates to its Aspire Global Partner Program, adding new incentives, simplifying program requirements and introducing a Professional Services Specialisation aimed at partners building services-led, recurring-revenue data security practices.
According to the company, the changes include expanded opportunity rebates that apply to both partner-sourced deals and “teamed” customer engagements, alongside a simplified deal registration process and streamlined training requirements.
The program update also introduces a new Professional Services Specialisation, which Cohesity said will provide partners with support from a dedicated delivery desk, preferred rates on teamed engagements and deployment-focused technical content. The company said further specialisations in technical support delivery and cyber resilience are planned later in the program year.
Cohesity said it has added a single dashboard view in its partner portal to consolidate visibility into training, certifications and billing requirements.
The changes took effect on 1 August 2026, aligned with the start of Cohesity’s fiscal year 2027.
“Our partners play a critical role in delivering the cyber resilience and data security outcomes customers rely on,” said James Eagleton, ANZ Managing Director, Cohesity. “As partners continue to invest in services-led and recurring-revenue practices, it’s important that we invest alongside them. The latest enhancements to the Aspire Partner Program are designed to support the way partners are evolving today, with a greater focus on services, recurring revenue and specialised expertise. By simplifying the program, expanding incentives and introducing new Specialisations, we’re giving partners more ways to grow, differentiate and deliver greater value to customers across Australia and New Zealand.”
Olympus Technology Services Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director Paulo Mpliokas said the program had supported deeper customer conversations as cyber resilience expectations increase. “With critical infrastructure obligations and board-level scrutiny on cyber resilience increasing across Australia, the Aspire programme has given us the depth to have real conversations with customers about recoverability and resilience,” he said.
