Anyone who’s worked on a digital project knows it’s rarely a straight line from idea to outcome. That’s why one of the most rewarding parts of my role as VP of Strategic Partnerships is celebrating the extraordinary work our partners do every day to make that journey smoother for the organizations they support.
Each annual Partner Awards, and honestly, every day, I’m reminded just how much dedication and expertise our partners bring. Their impact goes beyond delivering strong digital experiences. They help clients navigate change, create effective digital strategies, and move forward with confidence. Their work often happens behind the scenes, and that’s exactly why we want to celebrate their achievements.
The FY25 Partner Awards recognize partners who have gone above and beyond across four areas that matter deeply in today’s digital landscape: customer retention, new business growth, modernization through upgrades, and ongoing investment in product expertise.
These awards are about more than recognition or rewarding excellence in digital strategy. They reflect the shared effort, trust, and teamwork that help partners and clients grow and succeed over the long term. This year’s recognized partners show just how far strong collaboration can take us.
Recognizing Outstanding Customer Retention Worldwide
Customer retention is one of the clearest signs that a partner truly gets it. It’s not just about keeping clients around. It’s about building relationships strong enough to weather shifting priorities, new challenges, digital changes, and the occasional curveball. This means anticipating what’s coming next and growing with clients along the way.
The partners recognized in this category show what it means to stick with clients for the long haul using Xperience by Kentico. As trusted CMS implementation partners, they guide, support, and champion their clients in a way that helps each one grow at their own pace and keep moving forward.
Congratulations to the winners:
These partners embody what it means to put customers at the center of every decision. Their leadership strengthens our ecosystem and helps organizations around the world build lasting digital momentum.
Honoring Those Shaping the Future of Digital Growth
New business growth is more than just welcoming new clients on board. It signals that a partner knows how to read the room, spot what the market is asking for, and confidently position Xperience by Kentico as the digital experience platform that gets things moving. The partners in this category have stepped into new spaces, taken smart risks, and created scalable digital experiences that speak to today’s audiences.
Strong new business performance helps partners grow, strengthen their services, and build real momentum in the market. And for clients, choosing a partner with that kind of forward-thinking energy means working with people who bring fresh ideas, thoughtful guidance, and a platform built for whatever comes next.
Congratulations to the winners:
Their success highlights what happens when great digital know-how works hand in hand with a platform designed for performance, speed, and future-ready experiences.
Championing Upgrade Excellence Worldwide
Upgrading clients to the latest version of Xperience by Kentico is one of the most impactful ways a partner can support their growth. A well-executed platform upgrade strategy helps organizations take advantage of new capabilities, better performance, stronger security, and architectural improvements, along with the AI assistance powered by AIRA.
Upgrades show a partner’s ability to guide clients through change with clarity and confidence. They build trust and leave clients with a digital platform that’s ready for whatever comes next. This year’s winners helped clients modernize their digital foundations quickly and with assurance.
Congratulations to the winners:
Their leadership in modernization plays a crucial role in helping customers fully experience the benefits of our platform and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving digital world.
Celebrating Certification Excellence Across Regions
With so much innovation and platform evolution this year, the partners who continually invest in learning and certification have set themselves apart. Mastery of Xperience by Kentico is becoming a key differentiator in the market; one that empowers partners to deliver faster, better, and more reliable digital solutions.
Certification gives partners the up-to-date knowledge, best practices, and skills they need to do standout work. For partners, this investment builds confidence, strengthens their competitive edge, and deepens client trust. For clients, it means working with experts who can guide them clearly and create experiences that get the most out of the platform.
Congratulations to the winners:
Their focus on continuous learning is a reminder that great partnerships are built on curiosity and the desire to always innovate.
We Do Our Best Work Together
The partners recognized this year didn’t reach success through one defining moment. It came from steady progress, shared wins, and the kind of trust that builds over time. That’s what makes a great digital experience partner, someone who helps make even the hardest projects feel a little easier.
Every Kentico partner is on that same path. Whether you took home an award this year or not, you’re part of a community that learns from each other, supports each other, and shows up with the right mindset.
