Dataiku Partner Day is a yearly opportunity to connect with our dedicated partner ecosystem across the globe, share our company strategy, and provide updates on the product roadmap. Partner Day brings together a variety of Dataiku services partners such as system integrators (SIs), consultants, advisory partners, and value-added resellers. With over 130 active partners, the Dataiku partner ecosystem is continuously growing and Partner Day is a valuable opportunity to keep our partner community engaged and in-the-know.
Key Highlights
This year, for the first time, Dataiku hosted a virtual Partner Day for EMEA and Americas partners. The Dataiku leadership team led two interactive days filled with key Dataiku updates, celebrations of accomplishments, and sessions where we got to know our partner ecosystem better. The virtual event consisted of a mix of business-focused and technical sessions, giving our partners a wide scope of relevant information. At Partner Day, we covered a vast range of topics, including but not limited to partner strategy and framework, the Dataiku sales approach, market view and positioning, technology alliances, partner awards, and more.

Emerging SI Partner of the Year: Excelion Partners
Our journey with Excelion Partners started two years ago, and we are impressed with their commitment to high service delivery standards and their ability to drive and close meaningful sales activity. Excelion has been our most active partner in the Americas in terms of opportunities, collaborating on marketing events, and developing Dataiku DSS-based solution offerings with a strong emphasis on enablement.
Not only are they a joy to work with, but they have secured their Gold Partnership level through their commitment to reselling and referring opportunities to Dataiku. We see their journey and selection of Dataiku as their preferred data science offering as a beacon of what is possible for our SIs, both large and small, to create a practice for Dataiku services and provide clients with a vision of the new age of data platforming. We’re thrilled to award them the Emerging SI Partner of the Year for 2020, and we’re keen to continue our collaboration with them in the future.
Dataiku embodies our belief that collaboration is at the heart of data science. When we evaluated Dataiku as a platform we realized that it answered not only the collaboration challenge of data science but also gave us a comprehensive solution that made things transparent and easier from exploratory analysis to model retraining and deployment. We find that we can sum up our projects into two different categories: We help businesses make money and save money. We have helped manufacturers reduce scrap through descriptive analytics and machine learning (save money) and we have helped financial companies make decisions based on data and not gut instinct which has decreased customer churn and increased revenue (make money)." - Tony Olson, Director of AI Strategy at Excelion

Final Thoughts
A true Dataiku Partner Day wouldn’t be complete without an engaging networking experience. Although we can’t meet for an in-person happy hour, we brought this experience to our partners virtually through a pub quiz in EMEA and a mixology class in the Americas. Despite the circumstances this year, the Dataiku partnership team is grateful for yet another opportunity to engage with our partner ecosystem.
