GitLab announces the expansion of its Managed Service Provider (MSP) Partner Program, enabling qualified MSP partners to deliver the full GitLab intelligent orchestration platform—including agentic AI capabilities—as a fully managed service. The enhanced program addresses surging enterprise demand for trusted agentic AI across the entire software development lifecycle while supporting data sovereignty and compliance requirements in diverse regions.
GitLab, the intelligent orchestration platform for DevSecOps, launches an expanded MSP Partner Program to meet growing enterprise needs for agentic AI throughout the software lifecycle. While many AI tools focus solely on accelerating coding, GitLab addresses persistent bottlenecks in planning, pipelines, security reviews, compliance, and cross-team handoffs through unified AI orchestration.
Enterprises increasingly seek to leverage agentic AI for faster innovation but require solutions that maintain strict control over data residency, sovereignty, and regulatory compliance. The expanded program empowers MSPs to deploy and manage GitLab—including advanced agentic AI—in flexible environments tailored to customer requirements. This approach provides a scalable, managed path to adopt AI-native DevSecOps without compromising governance.
MSP partners gain significant business advantages, including premium margins, full retention of professional services revenue, priority technical support, internal-use licenses, quarterly training bootcamps, marketing development funds, and co-marketing opportunities. These enhancements position MSPs to capture new revenue streams while delivering differentiated, high-value services.
“The GitLab MSP program strengthens our partnership with GitLab, enabling us to deliver certified, secure, and highly available GitLab services faster, driving immediate value to the end customer,” said Matthew Hope, global cloud practice lead at Adaptavist. “The MSP program reinforces our commitment to delivering aligned, tailored GitLab managed services and enables our customers to maximise their GitLab investment and realise the full benefits of the latest features, including GitLab Duo Agent Platform.”
"As a partner dedicated to digital sovereignty, GitLab's enhanced MSP program allows us to further scale our 24/7 global services for clients with complex requirements,” said Gil Oliveira, chief commercial officer at Adfinis. “By combining our deep expertise in migration and consolidation with GitLab’s AI-native platform, we ensure our customers can innovate rapidly while maintaining full control over their data and infrastructure."
“Our partnership with GitLab continues to strengthen our ability to meet evolving enterprise needs for AI-native DevSecOps capabilities," said Henri Hämäläinen, chief product officer and co-CEO at Eficode. "The expanded MSP program enables us to deliver GitLab's intelligent orchestration platform at scale, helping our customers innovate faster while maintaining data sovereignty and compliance."
“GitLab is well-positioned to provide MSPs with a single managed service offering for the entire software development lifecycle. This program strengthens our commitment to the MSP channel and positions our partners to capture growing demand for agentic AI automation across the software development lifecycle," said Ian Steward, chief revenue officer at GitLab. "By enabling MSPs to deliver our complete platform as a managed service, we're creating a scalable path to market that benefits partners, customers, and GitLab's long-term growth strategy. We're looking forward to seeing all that our partners will accomplish under this program."
"We're seeing strong demand from enterprises that want to adopt agentic AI across the software lifecycle, capabilities like GitLab Duo Agent Platform, while maintaining strict control over their data and compliance posture,” said Alex Picker, VP of Global Ecosystems at GitLab. “Our enhanced program addresses this challenge by enabling MSP partners to deliver GitLab's intelligent orchestration platform within whatever hosting environment helps them meet their customers' requirements."
The expanded MSP program reinforces GitLab’s ecosystem strategy, empowering partners to deliver secure, compliant, and AI-accelerated DevSecOps at scale while helping enterprises overcome traditional software development bottlenecks.
