Kong Co., Ltd., a provider of API and AI connectivity technologies, announced that it has entered into a partnership agreement with ITOCHU Techno-Solutions Corporation with the aim of expanding sales of API and AI-related products in the Japanese market. This partnership will utilize “Channel Partner Private Offers” on the AWS Marketplace provided by Amazon Web Services to promote the resale of Kong products by CTC.
CPPO is a system that allows channel partners authorized by independent software vendors (ISVs) to resell products through the AWS Marketplace, creating private offers with customized pricing and contract terms for each customer. Through this partnership, customers will be able to procure eligible Kong products through the AWS Marketplace while consulting with CTC on product selection and purchase conditions. The two companies will combine CTC’s customer base and expertise in cloud utilization with Kong’s API and AI connectivity technologies to collaborate on everything from product procurement to proposals for utilization.
