msp-blog-header.jpg

Elastic® understands the need for quality, reliability, innovation, and support to foster strong relationships and partnerships. As such, Elastic is committed to investing in new partner programs designed to empower you to sell, support, and embed Elastic solutions as part of your global portfolio. 

As part of our evolving partner strategy, we are focusing on helping our Managed Service Provider (MSP) partners better represent and differentiate themselves to new and prospective end customers. As such, we have designed a number of new program benefits, which include: Guided Support, Enablement, Service co-creation workshops, and go-to-market support

In addition, Elastic is happy to announce a new special designation available to all of our MSPs: the Verified Managed Services Provider (MSP) designation. By capitalizing on exclusive benefits for our Verified MSP partners, you can further strengthen your partnership with Elastic, engage with your customers, and distinguish yourself in the market.

What is the new Verified Managed Service Provider designation?

This brand new designation is gained by Managed Service Provider (MSP) partners who have gone through a rigorous review process by Elastic and have been acknowledged to have the architecture, best practices, and resources in place to manage Elastic at a high level of standard.

Why become a Verified Managed Service Provider?

Customers expect strong intimacy from Elastic to ensure a smooth and fast implementation process. The new verified program is designed to provide a higher level of scrutiny than our basic Managed Service Provider Program, so Elastic can provide increased peace of mind to customers. As a Verified MSP, you'll not only enhance your value as a partner but also gain prominent visibility for your evaluated offerings on the Elastic Partner Locator. Moreover, you'll enjoy the support of Elastic Sales teams. See below for additional benefits and requirements.
