SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Sept. 10, 2024 – GitKraken, a leader in developer experience (DevEx) tooling, today announced the launch of its DevEx Advance Partner Program. This program enables Atlassian Solution Partners to grow their consulting business by helping their clients improve productivity and pace across development teams. With over 90% of Atlassian Solution Partners already incorporating GitKraken tools into their consulting services, this program will drive significant growth – for solution partners, their clients, and for GitKraken.

As organizations worldwide continue to prioritize developer experience to attract and retain top talent, deploying efficient, secure, and scalable tooling is critical. Atlassian’s recent State of Developer Experience 2024 report highlights that nearly 70% of developers are losing at least eight hours per week to inefficiencies, which costs companies millions of dollars each year.

GitKraken’s DevEx Advance Partner Program directly addresses these challenges by providing cutting-edge tools that work seamlessly across all leading Git hosts, including GitHub, GitLab, Atlassian Bitbucket, and Azure DevOps. This program also provides solution partners with hands-on training, free leads, and exclusive discounts so they can pass along savings to their clients, even while increasing margins.

“Developer experience is critical to a company’s success, and our DevEx Advance Partner Program enables Atlassian Solution Partners to help their clients significantly increase productivity,” said GitKraken CEO, Matt Johnston. “With GitKraken, partners can deliver enterprise-grade products and services that increase developer velocity, reduce friction, improve code visibility, and streamline workflows – all while driving major new consulting revenues.”

Chris Hemphill, Head of Atlassian Marketplace Partners and Developer Advocacy at Atlassian, echoed this sentiment, stating, “Partner programs like GitKraken’s DevEx Advance are essential for supporting the entire partner ecosystem, from customers to solution partners and Marketplace partners. Atlassian and GitKraken share a vision of empowering software developers to focus on what they love: problem-solving, building, and learning.”

GitKraken DevEx Advance Partner Program Helps Solution Partners In Several Ways:

1. Git Host Flexibility: GitKraken’s tools integrate with all leading Git hosts, enabling software teams to seamlessly connect Jira data with information from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps. This offers developers unmatched value, and dev leaders with unparalleled flexibility and control.
2. Enterprise-Grade Solutions: Built to scale, GitKraken’s platform offers world-class performance at large scale, robust security with Cloud Fortified and SOC-2 certifications, and the capacity to support 30 million developers, from startups to Fortune 500 firms.
3. Growth for Solution Partners: Importantly, this program also enables solution partners to expand their service offerings, generate new leads, and deepen their engagement with their clients’ engineering teams, opening up new and growing streams of business.

Partner-driven sales of GitKraken’s top planning tool, Git Integration for Jira, grew 47% year-over- year. This strong growth in the market underscores the value of GitKraken products – combined with expert consulting services – for partners and their clients.

Atlassian Solution Partners like Patrick Howell, CEO of Trundl, emphasize, “DevEx is the differentiator for organizations that want to attract and retain top engineering talent while building world-class products. Creating superior developer experiences can be the difference between success and failure for companies. This is why Trundl has partnered with GitKraken and Atlassian to help lead the DevEx charge.”
