Other priorities for Netskope this year include doubling down on its investments in channel partners, especially around partner enablement, Beri said. Netskope generates nearly all of its revenue through partners, and when it comes to expanding awareness in the market, “partners are our main focus and investment point,” he said.

NVIDIA has named the 14 recipients of its 2025 Americas Nvidia Partner Network awards, and the winners represent solution providers who “deeply understand” the company’s full-stack AI platform, according to the region’s channel chief. Standing out among Nvidia’s 500 North American channel partners, the recipients include multi-year winners like Mark III Systems and World Wide Technology—both of which won two awards this year—as well as newcomers like AHEAD and Advizex. In an exclusive interview with CRN, Nvidia Americas Channel Chief Craig Weinstein said it chose the winners based on several criteria: industry and go-to-market alignment, innovation and expertise, customer success, training and certification, marketing and go-to-market activities, partnership with the ecosystem and sales performance. "I would say almost all of the award winners have one commonality, which is they’re going to market with Nvidia’s full stack, our platform,” he said. Congratulations to all the winners, which also included Accenture, Tata Consultancy Services, Lambda, TD SYNNEX, Cambridge Computer, Computacenter, Government Acquisitions, Exxact Corporation, SoftServe and Hypertec Group.
