They say that two heads are better than one, and that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. For us, those statements couldn’t ring any truer. We specialise in carrier-neutral data centre colocation from our sustainable facilities in Farnborough and Manchester, focusing on what we do best so we can truly excel. But we recognise that clients often require a range of additional services throughout their colocation journey, which is why we work closely with our network of partners to provide the wraparound services our clients need to achieve their objectives.
Stronger together - the benefits of becoming a Datum partner
Posted on in Blog
Excellence through strategic partnerships
Partnering with us for competitive advantage
We collaborate closely with trusted partners who offer lifecycle services tailored to our clients’ needs – from connectivity and hybrid cloud solutions to break-fix support, asset management and broader managed services. Our partner ecosystem gives clients streamlined access to these solutions, all with the enhanced speed, security, and ease of direct connections.
Exposure and expanded reach
Joining our partner ecosystem opens up valuable opportunities for our partners, including increased visibility and greater access to new prospects and networks. By working together on combined solutions, they can reach a broader market and cater to more diverse needs. Our partners have a dependable colocation service provider to recommend to their clients, and when our clients require services beyond pure play colo, we can confidently direct them to a trusted partner.
A strengthened proposition
Combining our reputations, product portfolios and expertise allows us to bring a stronger, more unified solution to market than any of us could achieve alone, and digital transformation is an excellent example of this. Many organisations are contemplating digital transformation, but the scale of such projects can be intimidating – often, businesses simply don’t have the necessary resources or specialised know-how to see the process through with ease.
Our data centres provide an ideal foundation for digital transformation initiatives, and we have a proven history of supporting clients throughout their digital transformation journeys and collaborating with partners to deliver comprehensive solutions. This approach offers key advantages, including:
- flexible scaling of power, space and footprint throughout the contract’s duration;
- short-term availability of extra space and power, when needed;
- all the additional (partner-delivered) services required by our digital transformation clients;
- connectivity with multiple cloud platforms and network providers.
By combining our mutual offerings with the services on offer from some of our partners, we can present a market-ready end-to-end solution, whether digital transformation or any other project type. This offering is far more appealing to businesses than the hassle of sourcing and managing multiple independent vendors and systems.
Referrals and sales
Whether our partners prefer to resell our colocation services to their clients under their own brand, or simply introduce potential clients to us through referrals, our clear channel discount and compensation frameworks create a partnership where everyone benefits.
