The new programme provides partners with access to its platformEDGE digital infrastructure and aims to develop a collaborative ecosystem by providing MSPs with new commercial models, sales enablement resources, incentives and support staff. This will enable digital innovation, speed up hybrid cloud adoption and the delivery of compelling solutions without major capital outlays.
Wendy Shearer, director of partners and ecosystems at Pulsant, said, "The UK Digital Strategy emphasises the need for partnerships to drive innovation. As organisations seek to take advantage of AI, IoT and other transformative technologies, they require robust regional infrastructure supported by a strong ecosystem.
"Regional firms often lack these resources to build successful digital infrastructure investments. Our interconnected ecosystem strengthens their ability to capitalise on high-growth markets such as AI or IoT, turning collaboration between enterprises, service providers, platforms and connectivity companies into competitive advantage."
Pulsant's established environment includes more than 200 IT service providers, 100 SaaS platforms, 500+ enterprises and connectivity providers, including LINX and Megaport. Combined with its 12 regional data centres, this ecosystem provides the foundation for channel partners and their clients to leverage emerging tech capabilities.
"The digital economy demands robust infrastructure combined with thriving partner ecosystems to foster sustainable growth and transformation," Shearer said. "Our programme facilitates that collaborative environment regionally."
To support the programme's expansion, Pulsant has hired a new head of partnerships and three regional partner development managers.
