12. The three ways we categorise our partners
Influence Partners:
hundreds of firms
associated with DXP; the
long tail
Retention Partners: Hundreds-
potentially thousands- of
firms active across our base,
mostly reactive
300 Core
Partners:
committed and
enabled
- We focus on our Core Partners - business plans,
joint solution marketing, shared target accounts
and a deep commitment to GTM. 80% of our
production is tied to this group.
- Retention partners are active in our accounts,
usually providing developer talent. Periodically
they recommend Acquia and are looking to stay
informed on the latest and greatest
developments. They help us retain our
customers.
- Influence partners are loosely affiliated with
Acquia and provide a wide net of ideas, brand,
credibility through association and occasional
lead generation.

31. How we differentiate from the competition
ACQUIA THE COMPETITION
Faster time to market
validated by analysts, and side-by-side enterprise POCs
Lengthy 9-12 month implementations
are common for traditional enterprise CMSs
Greater autonomy for business users
low-code tools that simplify authoring & publishing
Lack of low-code tooling
results in high dependency on developers and low adoption
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
lower cost of license, resources, implementation
and ongoing maintenance
High complexity, high TCO
analysts point to high complexity, scarcity of resources & expertise
impacting TCO, ongoing services & resources
Modern architecture
component-based & structured for hybrid
and omni-channel delivery
Legacy architecture
limits customers largely to web-based solutions
with heavy lifting for non web-based channels
Open Source
faster innovation, more extensions and integrations
than any leading platform
Proprietary
fundamentally proprietary focused on proprietary integrations
