Elastic was founded in 2012 by the creators of Elasticsearch, a distributed, RESTful engine built on Apache Lucene that stores, searches, and analyzes large volumes of data in near real-time. The company went public in 2018 and now has over 3,000 employees and 21,000 customers worldwide (https://www.elastic.co/).
Elastic has recently focused its products on AI and generative AI use cases, introducing vector databases, observability features, and cloud security capabilities.
Like many enterprise software companies, Elastic established a partner program to support product adoption and implementation. Below is a brief look at its services partner ecosystem.
With ~ 120 consulting partners, almost half are in Europe, where Elastic started.
Nearly half of Elastic’s consulting and services partners are boutique firms with fewer than 100 employees.
