WASHINGTON, May 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Thycotic, provider of privileged account management (PAM) solutions for more than 7,500 organizations worldwide, announced another quarter of record channel growth, fueled by impressive new customer acquisitions by way of their continued expansion of its global partner network. In addition, Thycotic has seen a 157 percent year-over-year growth in partner generated revenue. Overall, the channel helped spur an 84 percent increase in the number of new customers acquired in the first quarter of 2017.

"Already this year, Thycotic's value of pipeline discovered by the channel has increased 320 percent when compared with the same quarter in FY16. Our strategy has been and continues to be to leverage the channel as a competitive advantage," said Bob Gagnon, Vice President of Channel Sales for the Americas at Thycotic. "Our extended salesforce simply has become bigger and better, and as is the case with most of our cybersecurity customers, their preference is for choice and objective guidance from their IT solution providers."

VeriStor, a Thycotic Certified Partner, illustrates the door opening efficacy that Thycotic solutions have been bringing to their security practice since 2015. "Now more than ever, our customers have dramatically sought to strengthen their resilience against an increasing pace and complexity of threats," comments Murray Granger, Executive Vice President of Sales at VeriStor. "Thycotic has helped us meet our client's cybersecurity challenges by defending against attacks and mitigating breaches."

Our 100 percent channel model ensures we have zero sales friction."

Stuart Reay, Managing Director, Alpha Generation Distribution Ltd. also notes, "Through 2016, Thycotic built a UK team for partner recruitment, enablement and marketing. This important resource helps the channel win business and enables partners to have informed discussions about Privileged Account Management. With privileged accounts being involved in 62 percent of all breaches, it's a space that offers knowledgeable partners a considerable opportunity.  Thycotic's marketing team listens to what the channel say they need for demand generation. Our ability to generate new Thycotic enquiries has created a strong funnel of leads ahead of deal registration, and helps to assure an uninterrupted pipeline of near term and future sales."

"Our ability to deliver the best privileged account security products, training and personal assistance to our committed partners has fueled the record results we experienced this quarter."
