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.

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.
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.
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.
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
