Become a partner
Rencore is the governance layer your customers need the moment they switch on Copilot. Partner with us to add it to what you already sell, deliver it with your own consultants, or run it for your clients as a managed service. This page sets out exactly what you get, and what we commit to in writing.
Your customers are adopting AI faster than they can govern it
Microsoft 365 estates have grown past the point where anyone can hold them in their head. Teams and SharePoint sites nobody owns, external sharing nobody has reviewed, licences nobody uses, and now Copilot and agents reading all of it. GDPR, NIS2 and the EU AI Act put dates against the problem, and an audit finding puts a budget behind it.
That is a governance programme, and most IT teams do not have the people to run one. It is work your customers will pay someone else to do. Rencore is the platform that makes it deliverable at a margin, whether you resell it, build a consulting practice on it, or run it for your clients month after month.
The demand is measured, not promised
Rencore is rated 4.7 out of 5 on Capterra and 4.9 out of 5 on G2, on a problem the analysts have already sized.
-
26% vs 3%
Organizations that govern Microsoft 365 well realize significant Copilot value 26% of the time, versus 3% for those that do not.

Microsoft 365 services inventoried in one place. One deployment covers the estate your customers actually run.
Six conversations already open in your accounts
You do not have to create demand for this. These are the triggers our partners find when they ask, and each one has an obvious next engagement behind it.
Copilot and agent rollouts
Copilot reads whatever the user can already reach. Rolling it into an ungoverned tenant is a data exposure project, and customers know it. Governance becomes the precondition, not the follow-up.
Sprawl nobody can see
Past a few thousand workspaces, nobody can say which Teams and sites are still active, who owns them, or what is shared outside. That is a discovery engagement with a clean next step.
Audit findings
A security or compliance finding creates urgency and frees budget faster than any campaign you can run. The partner already holding the assessment data wins the remediation work.
Regulatory deadlines
GDPR, NIS2 and the EU AI Act give your customers dates they have to meet. Continuous evidence beats a scramble before every audit, and it is a service you can renew.
Cost spiral
Unused licences, redundant sites and storage nobody has looked at in years. Cost recovery is the easiest business case in the estate to make, and it funds the rest of the programme.
Governance done by hand
IT teams running access reviews and clean-up manually hit a wall as the estate grows. Automation is what turns a one-off project into something you can operate for them.
Four ways to partner, and you can run more than one
The partner agreement is modular. Each model is a self-contained set of terms you switch on, so a consultancy that starts by referring deals can add resale later without renegotiating from the beginning.
Value added reseller
You buy from Rencore and resell in your own name, at your own price, under your own contract with the customer. You own the commercial relationship and first line support. This is the model Microsoft 365 consultancies and solution integrators use to add governance to what they already sell.
Managed service provider
You build Rencore into a managed governance service across your client base, with one console for every tenant you run. Rencore has no direct contact with your customer beyond second level support, so the service stays yours.
Referral partner
You introduce the opportunity, Rencore runs the sales process and contracts directly with the customer. No delivery obligation, no support commitment, and a fee on the deal when it closes. The lightest way to start.
Distribution partner
You appoint and support sub-resellers, buying from Rencore and supplying a channel of VARs and MSPs underneath you. Built for software distributors and solution aggregators with a reseller base already in place.
What actually changes for you
A reseller, a consultancy and a managed service provider are buying different things from the same partnership. Here is the version for each.
If you run VAR sales
Copilot rollouts and compliance deadlines, from GDPR to the EU AI Act, are already on your customers’ agenda, so the demand exists before you call. It bundles with Microsoft licensing instead of competing with it, your margin is agreed before you sign, and registered deals are protected.
If you lead SI delivery
Rencore scans the tenant and produces the risk and cost analysis your consultants used to assemble by hand. Assessments get shorter, and go-live stops being the end of the account: the ongoing governance service is yours to run.
If you build an MSP practice
One console across every client tenant, with policy templates you configure once and apply everywhere. Client-facing reports show the value every month, which is what stops governance being the first line cut at renewal.
If you own MSP commercials
Governance is a premium, recurring service that a commodity competitor cannot copy quickly. It lifts revenue per client and makes the relationship harder to leave.
A named partner manager, and 24/7 support behind you
What decides whether a partnership works is who picks up when a deal is live and something is not going to plan. Every Rencore partner has a partner manager by name, and this is what stands behind them.
Your partner manager
One accountable person who knows your pipeline, registers your deals, and escalates when something has to move faster than a ticket.
Solution architects on your calls
Rencore solution architects join partner-led demos and technical validation sessions. You never argue the technical case alone.
24/7 support
You keep first line with your customer. Rencore covers second and third line around the clock, across four severity levels.
Sales and tech training
Product training for your technical team and sales enablement for your sellers, at no additional charge, ending in certification.
Co-branded marketing
Campaign materials and joint webinars, plus a licence to use the Rencore name and marks in your own campaigns.
Open with an assessment, not a pitch
The quickest way into a governance conversation is to show the customer their own tenant. Connect Rencore, run a full Microsoft 365 inventory scan, and come back with a risk analysis, a cost waste analysis and a prioritised set of recommendations built on their data rather than on a benchmark.
It takes one to two weeks and it does most of the selling for you. When a prospect sees their own ungoverned workspaces, unused licences and high-risk permissions in a single report, the budget conversation stops being abstract. Implementation is the obvious next step, and it is yours to deliver.
What you put in front of the customer
One platform, three governance modules, sold and delivered as one motion. Your customers see every workspace, app and agent across their estate, ranked by risk, with the action to stop or fix what matters. 250+ policy and report templates ship with it, so your first engagement lands in weeks, not quarters.
Rencore Governance Modules
Digital Workplace
Microsoft 365 Collaboration
See who can reach what across your collaboration estate, then fix oversharing, stale workspaces, and unchecked guest access before an audit finds them.
Apps, Automation and BI
Power Platform & Low-Code
Bring the apps, flows, and reports your teams build into one inventory ranked by risk, so self-service keeps its speed without unmanaged sprawl or license waste.
AI & Agents
Microsoft Copilot & AI Agents
Know which agents exist, what data they can reach, and what they are allowed to do, so every AI rollout carries an audit trail instead of a blind spot.

What partners ask before they sign
What does it cost to become a Rencore partner?
There is no joining fee, no minimum sales volume and no minimum licence order. The enablement programme and the certification assessment are provided at no additional charge under the partner agreement.
What margin do partners make?
Resale, managed services, referral and distribution each carry their own discount or fee. They are set out in the commercial schedule of the partner agreement, and your partner manager takes you through the figures for the models you want to activate, before anything is signed.
Can we partner with Rencore if we already sell a competing governance product?
Yes. The partner agreement is non-exclusive and explicitly permits partners to carry competing services.
Who supports the end customer?
You do, for first line: taking the request, triaging it, and resolving standard issues such as configuration questions. Rencore provides second line for anything you escalate and third line for product defects, including source-level analysis, fixes and patches. Support runs 24/7, across four severity levels.
How long does it take to get a team productive?
The enablement programme is five one-hour sessions, each half taught and half live demo, with 30 to 60 minutes of practice in your own demo tenant between sessions. It ends with the certification assessment.
