Verkada, a provider of AI-enabled physical security technology, has named eight channel partners as its 2025 Impact Partners of the Year, recognizing organizations that demonstrated exceptional performance, collaboration and customer impact throughout the year.
Now in its second year, the awards program highlights partners that go “beyond business growth” to advance joint customer outcomes, technical excellence and strategic engagement, according to Micah Deriso, Head of Global Channel Sales at Verkada.
