Flexera achieves back‑to‑back 5‑star honors in 2026 CRN® partner program guide

“This recognition reflects our belief that modern partnerships are grounded in shared value, not transactions,” said Bill Vergantino, Senior Vice President of Channels & Alliances at Flexera. “It’s why we continue to invest in a partner-first approach and evolve our program with enhancements that help partners differentiate, grow profitably, and deliver greater value for customers managing complex technology environments. Earning CRN’s 5‑Star Partner Program two years in a row validates our focus on building a partner ecosystem designed for long‑term success.”

As solution providers navigate evolving customer demands, new technologies and changing business models, the structure and depth of vendor partner programs play an increasingly critical role in partnership decisions.

Flexera was recognized for its continued evolution of a partner‑first strategy designed to help solution providers capitalize on accelerating change across the market. Over the past year, the company has enhanced its partner program alongside broader investments in its technology portfolio, including the acquisitions of ProsperOps and Chaos Genius, which strengthen Flexera’s FinOps capabilities with autonomous, AI‑driven cost optimization. Together, these efforts demonstrate Flexera’s commitment to enabling partners with both the programmatic support and technology foundation needed to succeed in an increasingly complex channel environment.

“Being included in the 2026 CRN Partner Program Guide reflects how today’s technology vendors are rethinking their partner programs to keep pace with a rapidly evolving channel,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “As solution providers navigate new customer demands, business models and technologies, this annual guide serves as a critical resource for identifying vendors that are investing in programs designed to drive long‑term growth and shared success. The guide delivers meaningful insight into what sets each partner program apart, helping solution providers make confident, strategic partnership decisions.”

For the 2026 Partner Program Guide, the CRN research team assessed technology vendors based on the strength and breadth of their partner program offerings, including partner training and enablement, pre‑ and post‑sales support, marketing resources, technical assistance and ongoing communication. The resulting guide provides solution providers with meaningful insight into partner programs designed to support sustained success in a rapidly evolving channel landscape.
