Jet App Launches For Partners

CrowdStrike also recently launched Jet, a mobile app designed to help partners manage deal origination, deal closure, rewards, and enablement through a single platform.

The app allows partners to register opportunities, track deals, access enablement resources, and receive rewards through CrowdCard integration with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet.

Daniel Bernard, chief business officer at CrowdStrike, said, "With Jet, we're bringing CrowdStrike into the flow of how our partners actually work. They can capture opportunities in the moment, move deals forward faster, and get rewarded immediately."
