It starts with STACKIT's company profile — its position within Schwarz Digits and the Schwarz Group, and the vision and mission behind the sovereign cloud strategy — then works through the unique selling points in detail: 100% EU-based data processing, the economic stability of being backed by the Schwarz Group, open-standards portability, and multi-layered, independently certified security. From there it covers the partner program itself (referral, reselling, and marketplace models, and how to register and track an opportunity through its full lifecycle in the Partner Portal), before moving into the product portfolio: the IaaS layer (compute, storage, network), the PaaS layer (managed databases, Kubernetes, messaging, logging), and the marketplace SaaS offerings built on top. This is the course to take before a partner is expected to speak credibly about STACKIT's full stack — not just what it does, but why a customer should trust it, which partnership model fits a given deal, and where to point a prospect for proof and documentation. ### What You'll Learn - Explain STACKIT's ownership, vision, and economic backing well enough to handle tough sovereignty and stability questions - Differentiate the referral, reselling, and marketplace partnership models and know which one fits a given deal - Register and manage an opportunity through its full lifecycle in the Partner Portal, including multi-partner scenarios - Map a customer's requirement to the right layer of the stack — IaaS, PaaS, or marketplace SaaS - Direct prospects to the right documentation, certifications, and use cases for the product in question ### Modules - Company Profile: Vision, Mission, and Strategic Advantages - STACKIT Unique Selling Points - STACKIT Partner Program - Infrastructure (IaaS) - STACKIT Platforms - Software as a Service (SaaS)
