Partner Channel
BRING THE CLIENT.
SAINT RUNS THE WORK.
How you partner
One relationship. Four ways in.
Your track is the job. Referral hands SAINT a warm introduction. Channel Agent presents SAINT under your brand. Solutions co-delivers the project. Strategic plans the account with us. Tier is separate — it sets the PCR rate as the book grows.
Referral
Referral Partner
Introduce qualified prospects to SAINT. No ongoing delivery — a warm handoff, then SAINT runs the work.
PCR on managed services you introduce
Read ReferralChannel Agent
Channel Agent
Authorized agent relationship. Present SAINT under your brand and stay in the relationship. Residual on managed-services PCR.
PCR residual on managed services

Solutions Partner
Co-deliver projects with SAINT engineers. Joint scoping, shared client outcomes, and PCR on the managed services that remain.
PCR on managed services, plus project terms
Read SolutionsStrategic
Strategic Partner
Joint go-to-market and account planning for larger engagements. Eligible managed-services revenue still follows the published PCR schedule.
PCR on managed services, strategic terms in the agreement
Read StrategicPerformance tiers
Grow with the program.
The percentage applies to managed-services revenue: the monthly service and in-scope cyber seats. It is not a cut of the whole invoice. Hardware, tax, and one-time project fees stay out unless your agreement brings them in.

Commission = Eligible collected PCR × the published tier rate. Published rates apply to Paid Client Revenue on managed services — not gross invoice totals. Hardware at cost, sales tax, and one-time project fees sit outside PCR unless the partner agreement includes them. The agreement governs qualification and the date a rate activates.
LUX · exclusive designation
Not a fifth percentage.
LUX is a separate designation, not a fifth rate on Bronze through Platinum. SAINT invites a small number of partners into a closer operating relationship. It does not turn on when revenue crosses a line, and it is not a box you check on the application.
Platinum is the top published rate: 20% of eligible Paid Client Revenue on managed services. LUX does not add another percentage to that schedule. Platinum is a tier you can grow into. LUX is an invitation — exclusivity, a direct line to SAINT leadership, and terms written for that partner.
Designation runs in order: apply on a track, build the relationship, SAINT leadership reviews, then an invitation.
How LUX works- A short list — SAINT limits how many LUX designations are active
- Direct working line to SAINT leadership on shared accounts
- First look at enterprise opportunities SAINT chooses to introduce
- Co-branded work when both names belong on the piece
Commission model
Paid Client Revenue.
In PCR
- Recurring managed services revenue
- Cyber platform recurring (e.g., Huntress, Guardz seats)
Outside PCR
- • Sales tax
- • Hardware pass-through at cost (Verkada, UniFi, Fortinet hardware)
- • One-time project fees (unless explicitly included in partner agreement)
Published rates apply to Paid Client Revenue on managed services — not gross invoice totals. Hardware at cost, sales tax, and one-time project fees sit outside PCR unless the partner agreement includes them. The agreement governs qualification and the date a rate activates.
