Managed Service Provider (MSP), Elastic Partners, Elastic Solutions

Elastic has introduced a new Verified Managed Services Provider (MSP) designation to enhance its partner program, emphasizing quality, reliability, and support. This designation is aimed at helping MSP partners differentiate themselves by undergoing a thorough review process that ensures they possess the necessary architecture, best practices, and resources to manage Elastic solutions at high standards. The program offers benefits such as guided support, service co-creation workshops, and go-to-market assistance, alongside a "Verified MSP" badge and priority event sponsorship. These enhancements are designed to provide customers with increased confidence in service delivery and to highlight the most competent MSPs within the Elastic ecosystem. Existing verified partners include Kyndryl, Accenture, Cyberfort Group, Malcrove, ECS, Expedient, Proficio, and NEC Security. Potential partners interested in becoming verified must fulfill criteria including having two Elastic certified engineers, a reference architecture, and a list of third-party vendors.
