Climb strikes global deal to distribute Unframe AI platform

Climb Channel Solutions UK has entered a new global distribution partnership with Unframe, an AI platform designed for large enterprises.

Unframe recently secured GBP £40 million in investment, and this agreement is aimed at expanding the company's presence in the UK and Ireland by leveraging Climb's channel network to provide resellers and enterprises with access to Unframe's platform.

The distribution partnership is expected to make Unframe's enterprise AI platform, already used by Fortune 500 companies, more widely available. Through Climb's partner ecosystem, organisations in the UK and Ireland will be able to deploy AI solutions at scale using Unframe's system.

Unframe's platform enables businesses to address a range of specific AI applications in short timeframes, without the need for fine-tuning, additional training, or data sharing. The platform integrates with existing software systems and databases within a business's own IT environment, while maintaining compliance and control requirements. The pricing model for Unframe is outcome-based, offers no lock-in periods, and is designed to let organisations trial and evolve AI solutions rapidly and without risk.

Climb Channel Solutions has also launched The Skyward Project, an AI Partner Program supporting partners in developing and executing AI strategies. The programme comprises a six-stage framework, providing support for education, identifying commercial applications, and market execution, with a focus on collaboration and measurable outcomes.

Climb Channel Solutions will be hosting a summit in London, bringing together partners, technology vendors, and sector specialists to discuss technology trends and network.

Gerard Brophy, Chief Revenue Officer at Climb, commented: "We are very excited to welcome Unframe to our growing roster of innovative technology companies with a focus on AI. What makes Unframe so unique is the way its platform opens a huge number of opportunities by enabling organisations to solve all their AI use cases in one platform - and we firmly believe this can be a gamechanger for our partners."

Brophy added: "AI is a huge focus for Climb, and we have demonstrated our commitment to supporting partners with the launch of the 'Climb AI Academy' in the DACH region. This has proved so successful that plans are well underway to bring this concept to other markets too. For partners and their customers, capitalising on the opportunities that AI offers is critical moving forwards, and our mission at Climb is to support our channel partners in achieving this. The Skyward Project will play a key role in us delivering this to the channel."

Dale Foster, Chief Executive Officer at Climb, said: "As a team we are very pleased to welcome Unframe to the Climb family. We can't wait to work closely with Larissa and her team moving forwards. The traction Unframe has delivered to date highlights just how effective its technology is and the demand there is in the market."

Larissa Schneider, Chief Operating Officer at Unframe, commented: "Our partnership with Climb reflects our shared commitment to making enterprise AI faster, safer, and more accessible. By combining Climb's expansive reach with Unframe's turnkey platform, organizations can bring tailored AI solutions to life in hours, not months without the typical barriers of complexity, cost, or risk. Together, we're empowering businesses to unlock AI's full potential across every team, system, and workflow."

Climb's list of AI vendors includes Microsoft, VAST, GigIO, Cloudian, HCL Software, and Canonical, reflecting the distributor's continued focus on expanding its AI portfolio for partners.
