Technology Partners and Certifications

Every vendor here is one our engineers actually support. Not a badge wall.

These certifications give you direct vendor escalation, wholesale pricing, and a stack we’ve standardized across every managed client.

Our Technology Stack

We don’t list a vendor unless our team can deploy it, escalate through it, and stand behind it after the sale. Every name here is one we use across managed clients today.

Microsoft

M365, Azure, Teams, SharePoint, Intune, Defender, Purview, Copilot, Power Platform, Copilot Studio, and Azure AI Foundry. We’re a certified partner with direct escalation to Microsoft’s internal engineering team. That matters when a licensing question or Entra ID issue can’t wait for general support.

Dell Technologies

Dell PartnerDirect certified. You get wholesale pricing on servers, storage, networking, and endpoints. When something fails, our engineers escalate directly through Dell’s partner channel. No middleman.

HP / HPE

HP Infrastructure Partner. Wholesale pricing plus direct pre-sale and post-sale technical resources. Our technicians are HP-certified, so your infrastructure is supported by the same team that set it up.

Fortinet

FortiGate firewalls, VPN, and threat prevention. Our engineers are Fortinet-certified and manage the full lifecycle: design, deployment, rule tuning, and firmware updates. (We see a lot of SMBs still running consumer-grade routers. That’s usually the first thing we replace.)

Huntress

MDR, XDR, SIEM, and security awareness training in one platform. Human analysts review every alert 24/7. We use Huntress to catch persistent footholds, ransomware staging, and identity-based attacks that endpoint protection alone won’t flag.

SentinelOne

Endpoint detection and response (EDR) on every managed device. SentinelOne handles real-time containment, rollback, and forensic visibility. If something gets past the perimeter, this is the layer that catches it.

ConnectWise

Our PSA and service delivery backbone. Every ticket, SLA timer, and client workflow runs through ConnectWise. That’s how we track first-contact resolution at 93% and keep the support experience consistent across accounts.

NinjaOne

Remote monitoring and management (RMM). NinjaOne shows us endpoint health, patch status, and device inventory in real time. When a workstation starts acting up, we usually know before you do.

zofiQ

Agentic AI for the service desk. zofiQ automates ticket triage, resolution steps, and documentation inside ConnectWise. The result: fewer reactive hours, faster response, and more time for the work that actually needs a human.

OpenAI

We build production AI on OpenAI’s platform: custom agents, RAG systems, and workflow automations. Our CEO holds a Master’s in CS/AI and a CISSP. Every deployment gets both the engineering and the security review.

Why These Certifications Matter

Certifications show up in daily operations, not on a badge wall. We use partner credentials to skip general support queues, get better licensing terms, and make product decisions based on access most MSPs don’t have. When a client needs a fix that spans endpoint, identity, network, and cloud controls at the same time, that access is the difference between a fast resolution and a runaround.

You don’t have to guess who owns what. If something breaks, you’ll know whether it belongs with the vendor, our engineers, or your internal team. We map the responsibility and keep the escalation path current. The IT Support team handles the operating layer, Cybersecurity Services handles protection, and the IT Business Assessment is where a formal review starts.

That clarity matters more than most people expect. (We’ve seen environments where nobody could answer “who do we call when the firewall goes down?” That’s a problem we fix on day one.)

How We Evaluate Our Stack

Clear support paths. Stable product roadmaps. Vendors that let our technicians solve problems without making the client repeat the same story to three different teams. That’s the bar.

When a partner changes licensing, closes an escalation path, or shifts a product line, we check whether it still helps the client. If it doesn’t, we replace it. The list stays short on purpose. If you want a quick sense of how it all fits together, the About Us and Team pages explain who does the work, and the IT Business Assessment shows how we map the environment before any change.

These certifications and partner competencies underpin every engagement we deliver. For the full scope of what Fusion Computing does for Canadian SMB and mid-market clients, see our managed IT services hub.

Why credentials and partner stack matter for Canadian SMBs: The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security tracks ransomware and business-email-compromise as the dominant threats facing small and mid-sized Canadian organizations, and the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre logs over $500 million in reported fraud losses annually, with phishing the top initial vector. Statistics Canada reports that fewer than one in five Canadian SMBs has a written cybersecurity policy, which makes a credentialed external partner, CISSP-led, aligned to federal baseline controls, materially de-risking. Provincial privacy regulators in Ontario (IPC) and British Columbia (OIPC BC) both expect documented administrative, technical, and physical safeguards before a breach, not only after.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean that Fusion is a certified partner of these vendors?
Our technicians have completed vendor-specific training and hold active credentials. In practice, that gives us direct access to each vendor’s escalation team, wholesale pricing, and pre-sale engineering resources. When something breaks, we don’t wait in a general support queue. We go straight to the vendor’s technical team.
Do you only support products from these vendors?
No. We can support most business hardware and software for break-fix work. The partner list is the stack we actively recommend, deploy, and stand behind for managed environments. We’ve vetted each one for support quality, reliability, and how well it integrates with everything else.
How often do you review your partner list?
Continuously. If a vendor closes an escalation path, changes licensing, or shifts their product in a direction that doesn’t serve our clients, we replace them. Every name on this page has to earn its place. That’s why the list stays short.
Can you support hardware from other manufacturers?
Yes. For break-fix and general support, we work with most major manufacturers. The certified partner list is specifically the stack we recommend for new deployments and managed environments, because those are the vendors where we can guarantee escalation, wholesale pricing, and in-house expertise.
Do certifications affect what I pay?
Partner pricing is passed through. When we buy Dell servers or Microsoft licenses at wholesale, you get that pricing directly. There’s no markup on vendor access. The benefits (faster escalation, better support, standardized deployments) are built into the managed service, not billed separately.
