IRiS for partners

You own the client. IRiS takes on the Silver layer

For consultancies delivering Lakehouse and AI programmes on Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake and Databricks. IRiS takes on the least differentiated part of the build, so your senior people can focus elsewhere.

Why do partners choose IRiS?

IRiS is Lakehouse Automation Software that guides Silver layer modelling and writes native code for Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake and Databricks. Delivery partners use IRiS inside their own client projects, so any competent data engineer produces consistent, governed output without a Data Vault specialist on every team. Partners keep the client relationship, and IRiS remains independent software.

The delivery squeeze

Why is the Silver layer a margin problem for delivery partners?

The Silver layer is the most time-intensive, repetitive and error-prone part of any Lakehouse build. For a delivery partner, that means:

  • Senior time spent on boilerplate, not the design work clients pay for.

  • Quality that depends on who's staffed, because every consultant models differently.

  • Growth that means hiring, because more projects need more headcount.

  • "We do Fabric" is no longer a differentiator. Every Microsoft partner says it.

Why partners choose IRiS

What does IRiS give a delivery partner?

Every phase works from your real source data and your business definitions. There are no blank pages and no hand-wired templates.

The foundation for consistent, reliable data platforms

Every IRiS-generated Silver layer follows the same standards, governance metadata and lineage, whoever runs the project. Your consultants confirm every decision, and that consistency is auditable, which matters in regulated industries.

Support for partners leading AI-led transformation

AI needs a Silver layer with stable identities, explicit relationships and business context. IRiS captures that context as your team models, so the data foundation becomes part of delivery, not a separate project.

Built for partners with deep domain expertise

You bring the industry knowledge and programme design. IRiS brings the modelling and code generation.

Your delivery, improved

How does IRiS change the economics of a Lakehouse project?

 

For your practice IRiS changes
Speed Under 15 minutes per source table, from profiling to production-ready code.
Bench Supports consultants that are not Data Vault certified with embedded expertise.
Consistency The same model produces the same code, byte for byte, across consultants and projects.
Scale More concurrent client projects, without adding headcount at the same rate.
Handover Readable, platform-native code in the client's own Git repository. Clients own what you deliver.

Demand, not just delivery

Where do IRiS partner opportunities come from?

Sell with Microsoft, not around it.

  • Microsoft co-sell. IRiS is IP Co-sell eligible ⚑, so Microsoft account teams can bring IRiS into Fabric opportunities.

  • MACC-eligible procurement. Clients buy IRiS on Microsoft Marketplace against their committed Azure spend.

  • Clients who already know IRiS. You may find IRiS already on a new client's shortlist.

  • The Snowflake & Databricks communities, and dbt with integration thought TurboVault from Scalefree.

  • Opportunities routed to you when a client needs a full transformation, with IRiS inside the programme.

Your Options

How does IRiS compare with what partners use today?

 

If your practice uses… It's strong at… What IRiS adds
Native platform tooling Included and familiar Guided modelling, consistent code and governance metadata, portable across three platforms
Code-first tools (e.g. dbt) Code-first delivery, Gold layer transformation Guided design of the Silver layer itself; works with dbt through TurboVault 
Your own in-house framework Tailored to your practice A maintained product with a roadmap and support

Is it a fit?

What makes a strong IRiS partner?

We recruit delivery partners, not only resellers. IRiS partnerships work best when your practice:

  • Delivers Modern Lakehouse programmes, in Europe, where IRiS is recruiting (as of October 2026)
  • Designs and builds Silver layer programmes, from no platform to production
  • Is aligned to Microsoft (Solutions Partner for Data & AI preferred); Snowflake or Databricks capability is a plus
  • Works in regulated sectors such as financial services, insurance, government, healthcare, utilities or telecommunications
  • Has senior data engineering depth in Silver layer, semantic or Data Vault modelling
  • Wants to embed IRiS in its own proposition and co-sell with Microsoft

TD SYNNEX

Partners working through TD SYNNEX can access IRiS for their customers through their existing distributor relationship.

Partner questions

Does IRiS compete with our services?
No. You own the client, the programme and everything above the Silver layer. IRiS takes on the part that burns time without adding differentiation.
Will IRiS bring another consultancy into our client?
No. IRiS is standalone software with its own brand, roadmap and licence. You deploy it with your own consultants.
Do our consultants need Data Vault certification to deliver IRiS?
No. IRiS builds proven Data Vault patterns into the software, so experienced data engineers can deliver governed, standards-compliant output. Certification is available through Scalefree for partners who want it.
Can we deliver IRiS under our own brand?

No. Partners deliver IRiS inside their own programmes, and IRiS remains a named, independent product with its own roadmap and support.

How do our clients buy IRiS?
Per seat, through Microsoft Marketplace: USD $998 per seat per month, with no minimum seats, counted against committed Azure spend. Partner margin is covered in the partner agreement.
Which platforms can we deliver IRiS on?
Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake and Databricks. One IRiS seat covers all three.
