"When you're finished changing, you're finished."  - Ben Franklin  
According to a 2022 Accenture survey, 76% of CEOs think the current business model will be unrecognizable in five years. This rapid state of change in how our customers create brand “stickiness” and adoption through customized vertical, and persona solutions; simplify transaction through subscription consumption with Marketplaces; and rapidly innovate with cloud services and SaaS delivery models are creating unprecedented opportunities for how we serve and deliver value with our Technology and Digital Partners. 

Our customers trust us, and now more than ever are counting on us to help them deliver value to their business. We are focused and committed to offering the most comprehensive, flexible, and scalable co-marketing, co-selling, co-innovation, and co-investment programs to meet that objective.
We look forward to an awesome 2022 of change and growth together!  

2021 was a big year for Rockwell Automation System Integrators. We revamped the entire program, based on all your input, and have received wonderful feedback from our System Integrator community that validates the changes we made.
At Rockwell Automation we are passionate about our System Integrators and the value they bring to us and our customers. And we never take that relationship for granted, which is why we aren’t slowing down. Actually, we’re accelerating, and you can expect to see the following in 2022:

• Highlighting your Success – with Awards, Badges, Certificates, Customer Success stories and more!

• Skills and Capabilities – investment in your skills with ongoing Competency development, technical webinars and our continuous improvements in enablement material and tools available to you

• Co-Marketing engagement - including investment in highlighting your Customer Success stories and expertise

• Ease of Business – we’re investing heavily in simplicity with tool access, translations, Walk Me integration in our Partner Management Portal and more.

• Program Insight – providing you insight in your performance in the System Integrator program and steps to reach the next level.
Thank you for an incredibly successful 2021, as we walk into 2022 with immense excitement at how we’re going to bring the Connected Enterprise to life with you, our System Integrators!
