MongoDB turns attention to growing its partner ecosystem
Summary
On a recent visit to Sydney, MongoDB’s chief product officer Sahir Azam foreshadowed to CRN Australia the forthcoming effort to scale up its partner ecosystem. “We just recently brought on a new leader for that part of the organisation [Herrmann] and he’s looking at really up-levelling the scale and sophistication of how programmatic we are on the onboarding [of new partners].” More immediately, Azam’s visit to Australia included meeting with the local teams of the major cloud providers, with whom MongoDB has some joint accounts. “We had a big meeting with Google Cloud the other day where we gave their technology field teams a full update on our roadmap and everything we’re doing,” he said. The company’s WiredTiger core storage engine, Atlas Charts visualisation and BI product, and newer Relational Migrator tool are all built and maintained out of Australia. However, Azam said the optimisation focus wasn’t necessarily resulting in reduced spend, with money still in the market for “strategic” digital transformation projects.
