Why Partner

The case in full, for a partner who isn’t yet convinced

Direct access to Level 3 Engineers, verified Cloud (don’t just take our word), data sovereignty, and over two decades of proof — with nothing to pay to join.

A

A named team, hired for curiosity

We hire people who won’t stop until they’ve figured out what or where the problem is. They’re not sticking with scripts, operating with limited time restraints, nor using guesswork. Clients tell us, unprompted, that we go further any other MSP to resolve issues they didn’t even know existed in their infrastructure. You get direct access to our Level 3 engineers, with no tier-1 helpdesk in between: the same people your client spoke to last time are the ones who pick up next time.

B

A cloud you can verify, not a badge you take our word for

We run our own UK-sovereign private cloud, managed via VMEase — and we’re one of VMEase’s preferred partners, not just a licence-holder. That closes the US CLOUD Act question directly, with a legal fact your client’s procurement team can check for themselves. ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus are independently audited standards we maintain year after year. FSQS registration opens doors specifically in Fintech and Insurtech procurement.

C

Two decades of proof, nothing to pay to join

We’ve built and looked after infrastructure since 2002 for all sectors including the heavily regulated: FinTech, InsurTech, Retail, Government and Public Sector, as their trusted partner bringing a trusted peace of mind for our clients. Joining costs nothing: earn commission as a Referral Partner, resell under your own brand as a Managed Co-Host Partner, or get direct access to our senior team for joint pitches as a Strategic Compliance Partner.

The pattern

Why MSP relationships break down — and why ours don’t

Most agencies have been burned by an infrastructure partner before. It’s usually one of the same four things.

You’re paying for prevention, but only hearing from us when something breaks.

A lot of “proactive monitoring” is really just faster reaction time — you only find out it was working the day it didn’t. We show you what we’ve caught, not just what we’ve fixed, so prevention is something you can see rather than something you’re told.

You’re explaining your environment to a different technician every time.

Staff turnover at a generalist provider means your account gets a new face every few months, and you’re the one who ends up briefing them. We hire for curiosity and we keep our people, so the same senior engineer stays on your account for years if not decades.

You’re getting a generic SLA, not a plan.

Most providers apply one standard tier to every client, regardless of what they actually need. We scope to your environment and risk profile, and our senior team shows up for roadmap conversations, not just for incidents.

You’re locked into terms you can’t see the value in.

What this actually looks like

01

You refer a client

Brief us once and we take it from there, with you kept in the loop at every step.

02

We onboard properly

Security, performance and infrastructure checks, including regulatory gap-checks where relevant, happen before anything goes live.

03

We support; you get the credit

24/7 support runs under your relationship with the client. We stay invisible unless needed, or step into the room if a technical or compliance question comes up.

04

You earn, we report

Commission is paid on a clear schedule with reporting you can check anytime through the partner portal.

SN

Sej Naul

Senior Service Delivery Manager

ITIL Strategic Leader and PRINCE2 Practitioner, owns the relationship from pre-sales through to BAU. A regular speaker at Europe’s largest ITSM conference — this is genuinely his craft.

Before you ask

Objections, answered directly

How is Digital Craftsmen different from a typical MSP?

The two most common complaints about MSPs are inconsistent technicians and support that’s reactive rather than proactive. We address both directly: the same named senior engineer stays on your account, and we show you what’s been prevented, not just what’s been fixed.

What if it doesn’t work out?

[Confirm your actual exit/notice terms here — a clear, upfront answer is one of the strongest trust signals you can give; a vague one is a common reason deals stall.]

Will this affect our relationship with our client?

No. You remain the primary relationship. We work under your brand where needed and never contact your clients directly without your involvement, unless you’d rather we did.

What if our client isn’t in a regulated sector?

You still get the same reliability, security and named-team support. The compliance specialism is there if you ever need it — it was never the only thing we offer.
