Database managed services
Round-the-clock administration, monitoring, and support for client database environments, with a named team rather than a ticket queue.
Partner with Fortified Data
Add a US-based database practice to your managed services without hiring one. Fortified Data works with MSPs and technology firms on SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, from pre-sales scoping through migration, performance work, and ongoing administration.
Databases are the entire practice. There is no competing line of business.
What is the Fortified Data MSP partner program?
The Fortified Data MSP partner program is a partnership for managed service providers and technology firms whose clients run databases their own team does not specialize in. Fortified Data supplies the database expertise, from pre-sales scoping through migration, performance optimization, security work, and ongoing administration, so a partner can carry database services without building and retaining a database bench.
The program is built around collaborative growth rather than a reseller list. Partners get shared expertise and continuous support, and the intent is that both sides keep the client through the modernization work that follows a migration, instead of handing the environment on once it moves.
Fortified Data also partners with the platform vendors its clients run on, which is what keeps the technical side of a partnership current: the certifications behind the work are held on the bench rather than bought for a badge.
The partner program
Why partner with Fortified Data
Pre- and post-sales support
Dedicated technical expertise through the sales cycle, so a database conversation you cannot staff does not stall a deal. The same team stays on after the sale, through implementation and into support.
Co-marketing and growth
Joint campaigns, collaborative webinars, and sales enablement material, built on shared market insight rather than a logo swap. The aim is pipeline for both sides.
Flexible, scalable solutions
The same engagement model covers a single small deployment and a complex enterprise estate, so what you can offer a client does not depend on the size of the client.
Expertise in database solutions
Specialists in performance optimization, migrations, and modernization across four platforms and three clouds. Your client gets the depth of a dedicated practice, and you get to keep the relationship.
Sales incentive programs
Performance-based rewards, bonuses, and discounts, structured so partnering is worth your sales team's attention as well as your delivery team's.
What you can put in front of a client
Three service lines, delivered by US-based specialists and available through the partner program.
Consulting projects
Scoped engagements: migrations and upgrades, performance tuning, modernization, and business intelligence work.
Independent assessments
A fixed-scope read on a client environment covering health, security, cloud readiness, licensing, or AI readiness. Often the cleanest way to open a database conversation.
Technology partnerships
The vendors behind the work
Separate from the MSP program, Fortified Data holds partnerships with the platform vendors whose products client environments actually run on. Each one is backed by certifications the consulting and managed services bench holds.
For a partner, that is the difference between a supplier who has read the documentation and one whose team is certified on the platform your client is already paying for.
- MicrosoftSQL Server, Azure SQL, and the wider Azure data platform. The team holds Solutions Architect, Azure Data Engineer, Azure Database Administrator, Azure Administrator, and Power BI Data Analyst certifications.
- Google CloudDatabase workloads on Google Cloud, with the Professional Cloud Database Engineer certification held on the bench.
- SnowflakeThe analytics and modernization end of the practice, where a client's reporting estate moves off a transactional database it was never built on.
Common questions about the partner program
Who is the Fortified Data partner program for?
Managed service providers and technology firms whose clients run production databases their own team does not specialize in. The common case is an MSP that covers infrastructure, networking, and applications well, and has no database bench to put behind a performance problem or a migration.
Which database platforms does a partnership cover?
Microsoft SQL Server and Azure SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL, running on premises and in AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. Databases are the whole practice at Fortified Data rather than one service line among several.
What support do partners get during a sales cycle?
Dedicated technical expertise before and after the sale. Before it, that means help scoping the work and answering the database questions that decide a deal. After it, it means support through implementation, which is where a database project is most likely to damage a client relationship you own.
Does Fortified Data offer co-marketing?
Yes. Joint marketing campaigns, collaborative webinars, and sales enablement resources, built on shared market insight and aligned positioning. The purpose is brand visibility and leads for both sides rather than a logo on a partner page.
Are there incentives for a partner's sales team?
Yes. The program includes performance-based rewards, bonuses, and discounts, designed so that partnering is financially worthwhile for the sales team as well as strategically worthwhile for the business.
How do I become a Fortified Data partner?
Start with a conversation. Tell us which platforms your clients run, where the database work currently goes, and what you are being asked for that you cannot staff today. That is enough to establish whether a partnership would carry weight on both sides.
Start a partner conversation
If your clients run databases your team does not want to own, the conversation starts with which platforms they are on and what is currently breaking. It does not start with a contract.
