ANS, one of only two VMware Sovereign Cloud Partners in the UK and a Pinnacle Partner for VMware by Broadcom, has launched a Broadcom Navigator Service to guide partners through their options following Broadcom’s restructuring of its VMware partner model. The Broadcom Navigator Service offers discovery and assessment of a partner’s business, covering infrastructure, product offering, capabilities and licensing position, and a tailored transition roadmap aligned to each partner’s goals, whether that is to be a Pinnacle Partner, to shift to public cloud platforms like AWS or Azure or to explore alternative hypervisor solutions. Combined with ANS’s commercial resale model, this will enable partners to resell cloud services under a clear, scalable framework, supported by ANS’s marketing and sales enablement, co-branded whitelabel customer campaigns, content assets and a dedicated Partner Portal for quoting, provisioning and support. Meanwhile, Node4, which has been retained as a Pinnacle Partner to deliver VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) at scale, has announced a comprehensive partner support initiative for former VMware white label partners that have received notice that their VMware contracts will not be renewed beyond March 31, 2027. The initiative includes VMware support until March 2027, with Node4 honouring current white label contracts until expiry; the supply, post-2007, of fully compliant VMware managed services under Node4’s own agreements; support of seamless migrations from legacy platforms; and the development of partner-centric commercial models, technical enablement and part-funded migration assistance. www.ans.co.uk … Wavenet launches CyberGuard as a Service Managed services and security provider Wavenet is targeting MSPs and resellers, especially those without in-house security expertise, with the launch of a white-labelled, continued... iplicit adds Candura to partner programme Candura, a specialist in helping mid-market organisations transform their finance function, has joined cloud accounting provider iplicit’s growing reseller programme to address what both firms view as a massively underserved mid-market.

By partnering with iplicit to deliver a cloud accounting solution purpose-built and accessible to the UK’s mid-market, Candura plans to extend its offering beyond Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A). Chris Harman, Founder of Candura, said: “We’re excited to be teaming up with iplicit. As mid-market specialists, we both understand the challenges mid-market businesses are facing and how limited they are by the finance software they are using today. Our mission is to enable finance teams to be more strategic by removing the outdated legacy tech and repetitive tasks that prevent them from focusing on higher-value, more empowering work.” Paula Cooper, Head of Channel at iplicit added: “2025 has seen us continue to build on our momentum in the market with the support of a carefully curated partner network, chosen for their industry expertise and shared commitment to excellent mid-market customer service and solutions. Partners like Candura are an invaluable part of our growth, strengthening our delivery capabilities and becoming part of our community alongside our accountancy partners and direct team.” Launched in January 2019, iplicit has more than 43,000 daily users in 103 countries.
