Mindtickle Expands AWS Partnership with ISV Accelerate Program and Marketplace Listing

Mindtickle continues to bolster its winning reputation in sales readiness, this time with news that it has expanded its collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Mindtickle has joined the AWS Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program and its solution, the Mindtickle Sales Readiness Platform, is now listed in AWS Marketplace.

A significant step in our ongoing collaboration with AWS, the AWS ISV Accelerate Program is a co-sell program for organizations that provide software solutions that run on or integrate with AWS. Mindtickle can reach a broader set of organizations and more quickly deploy readiness programs by connecting with the AWS Sales organization. In addition, the AWS Marketplace is a curated digital catalog that makes it easy for organizations to discover, procure, entitle, provision, and govern third-party software.

“The AWS ISV Accelerate Program enables greater reach into the AWS customer base and strengthens commitment. AWS ISVs have earned customer confidence as certified trusted partners,” said Stanley Chan, Head of Technology Partners, Asia-Pacific, and Japan, AWS.

Mindtickle went through AWS’s comprehensive review process, including an extensive technical review of the Mindtickle platform and architecture as well as validation of Mindtickle’s benefit for enterprise-level customers. Our enterprise-grade business application, the Sales Readiness Platform, has passed these reviews, validating our expertise in building on AWS and our proven customer success. Mindtickle underwent similar efforts to gain approval for its listing in AWS Marketplace.

There are several specific benefits that availability in AWS Marketplace will afford prospective Mindtickle customers. With the listing in AWS Marketplace, partners can offer their software products to customers around the world, enabling customers to launch Mindtickle’s software in minutes pre-configured to run on AWS. In addition, customers purchasing Mindtickle through the AWS Marketplace will have greater pricing flexibility and cost transparency to help manage software budgets. Finally, customers benefit from transforming their enablement program with the Mindtickle Sales Readiness Platform.

“A key benefit of our collaboration with AWS is offering the most advanced & comprehensive Sales Readiness Platform leveraging cutting-edge technologies. Our architecture helps ensure our current and future customers are continuously building a state of sales excellence in their organizations with dependable and reliable service and support,” said Deepak Diwakar, co-founder and CTO of Mindtickle. “We look forward to building on this collaboration to bring the Mindtickle platform to even more organizations to help them maximize the potential of their customer-facing teams and achieve their revenue goals. “

As Dr. Somnath Datta, head of commercial excellence at Janssen Pharmaceuticals, said about Mindtickle, “A platform with robust analytics and features to support sales readiness in the field has been at the heart of our entire sales learning and development transformation.”

Membership in the AWS ISV Accelerate Program and listing the Mindtickle Sales Readiness Platform in AWS Marketplace will be integral to Mindtickle’s ability to reach more organizations and increase our connections with AWS customers. We’re excited to work with the AWS team to jointly drive our customers toward achieving their business goals.

Mindtickle Voted #1 Enterprise Product in G2 Best Software Companies 2020 List

G2, the largest software marketplace and review platform, announced the 2020 winners of its annual Best Software Awards this month. And we were very honored to have received the #1 ranking for Enterprise Products! This is a massive achievement and a testament to the value we bring to our customers around the globe.

A big thank you to the hundreds of Mindtickle customers who, in their own voice, provided reviews in the G2 platform about how they count on us every day to keep their customer-facing teams ‘remote and ready’, especially in these uncertain times. We thank you for your partnership. We remain committed to your success.

And the #1 ranking for enterprise software wasn’t the only accolade, so here are all the lists that prominently featured Mindtickle.

In Best Software Products, Mindtickle earned:

  • #1 of the Top 50 Products for Enterprise beating out other products from some of the worlds’ largest and most well-known enterprise software companies; To bring some additional context for how huge this is, last year this spot was held by Tableau which was recently acquired by Salesforce for $15.7B
  • #5 of the Best Products for Sales as the only Readiness platform listed; Salesforce CPQ held this spot in G2’s 2019 list
  • #17 of the Top 100 Software Products
  • #27 of the Top 50 Products for Mid-Market

And in the Highest Satisfaction category, Mindtickle was ranked #32 beating out products from many highly regarded companies.

G2’s Best Software Awards rank all 57,844 software companies and products on G2 using authentic, timely reviews from real users. This isn’t a subjective list based on a few peoples’ opinions, it’s actual users of the Mindtickle platform who have experienced first-hand the value and benefits of a systematic approach to building, reinforcing, and measuring the desired knowledge and behaviors through sales readiness and continuous learning programs.

We have been in leadership positions on several of G2’s category rankings over the years but this is our first time earning a #1 rank, keeping company with some of the biggest names in Enterprise software. We have come a long way and we couldn’t be more proud! Sharing the stage with some of the best and biggest software companies in the world is a great feeling and I am truly grateful to my co-founders, team, customers, and investors who have been with us through this journey. We have all worked together for the last five years to define and create a completely new solution and category of ‘Readiness’ designed from the ground up to help organizations increase the productivity and effectiveness of their customer-facing teams.

And lastly, a special round of applause to the Mindtickle teams from every corner of the company — from the Product team for a relentless focus on software that works to Customer-facing teams across Success and Enablement, Support, Services, Sales and Marketing that embody the Mindtickle principle of delighting our customers at every stage of their journey!

This is a moment to cherish.
