Yorizon Connect -
the sovereign cloud partner programme


Together with trusted partners, we are shaping a sovereign and sustainable cloud ecosystem in Europe — driven by clear roles, transparent collaboration, and a shared ambition: delivering lasting customer success.


Why Yorizon Connect is built for partner success

Yorizon Connect is the partner programme for system integrators, MSPs, and ISVs ready to scale their cloud business — powered by sovereign, high-performance infrastructure — built in Europe, for Europe.

Our channel-only approach puts partners first: attractive commercial models, reliable go-to-market support, and fast-track access to enablement, marketing, and a vibrant community.

1

Cloud with clear data sovereignty

With Yorizon, solutions are built on a European cloud infrastructure with clear data residency, audit-ready governance, and a foundation compliant with GDPR and sovereign cloud principles — ideal for sensitive data and regulated industries.

Differentiation comes through verifiable data sovereignty.

2

Measurable sustainability as a strategic asset

The YEXIO Edge data centers are designed for high energy efficiency and green power, structurally reducing ongoing IT costs for customers.

Integrated ESG and sustainability reports make sustainability tangible, measurable, and verifiable.

3

Predictable recurring revenue

Scale through applications, integration, and managed services — no data center investment needed, faster time-to-market, and steady recurring revenue.

Boost the share of predictable services in the portfolio.

4

Go-to-Market support that delivers leads, not logos

Personalised guidance from Alliance and Partner Success Managers, paired with pre-qualified standard and strategic leads. Clear SLAs and fair re-routing ensure nothing slows you down.

Yorizon Connect becomes a true engine for growth.

5

Fast to launch with portal & enablement

All sales and marketing content, plug-and-play templates, and product, tech, and sales training — customised by partner level — are available in the partner portal.

Sales teams get pitch-ready quickly and can confidently position sovereign cloud solutions.

6

Fair terms and joint marketing that drives growth

Tiered partner levels (Business, Advanced, Expert) deliver escalating discounts, higher-quality leads, and MDF participation, ensuring a growth-focused model.

Strategic campaigns, events, and co-branding generate measurable demand and pipeline momentum.
