The key challenges VMware customers face during the Broadcom partner transition:
- Shrinking Partner Ecosystem:
The number of authorized VMware partners is being drastically reduced – from around 30,000 globally to an expected 200, with only 20–30 in the EU. This means many customers may find their current partner is no longer authorized to deliver VMware services after the transition.
- Risk of Service Disruption:
Customers who delay action risk being forced into rushed migrations or facing limited options at contract renewal. This can lead to higher costs, operational disruption, and potential compliance gaps.
- Lack of Transparent Communication:
Many partners are not proactively informing customers about their future authorization status, creating a false sense of security. This lack of early, clear communication is a significant risk.
- Compliance and Regulatory Risks:
For regulated workloads, using an unauthorized provider after the transition could result in compliance violations, regardless of the timeline.
- Increased Pressure Near Deadlines:
Waiting until the last minute to address partner authorization or renewal can force customers into expensive, disruptive, and less strategic decisions.
- Uncertainty About Future Licensing and Terms:
Even customers with currently authorized partners must remain vigilant, as partner status and licensing terms can change at each renewal.
