Renowned software reseller and cloud service provider, Grey Matter, and a leading Microsoft Partner specialising in cloud security, Cloud9 (previously AzuredUK), have announced a strategic collaboration to enhance the Azure security operations of Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and SaaS providers.
This partnership uses the combined expertise of Grey Matter and Cloud9 to address the complex security and scalability needs of businesses operating in the Azure ecosystem. The collaboration is underpinned by a shared commitment to empowering organisations with secure, innovative cloud solutions tailored to meet their unique challenges.
Innovative Initiatives for ISVs and SaaS Providers
As part of this collaboration, Grey Matter and Cloud9 offer a series of Microsoft-funded security workshops designed to educate and empower clients in navigating Azure’s security landscape. These workshops provide hands-on guidance, showcasing best practices in safeguarding applications, data, and infrastructure.
Together, Grey Matter and Cloud9 can also access Microsoft funding for eligible businesses for Azure Migrate and Modernisation projects, providing expert guidance to execute an infrastructure and database migration project.
Additionally, the partnership has successfully executed a complex Azure migration for a leading ISV, demonstrating the depth of expertise and seamless teamwork between the two organisations. This migration not only enhanced operational efficiency but also fortified the client’s security posture in the cloud.
Mutual Benefits for Partners and Clients
“Our partnership with Azured is the perfect complement to our existing portfolio of technical services, further enabling us to deliver on our mission to empower ISVs and SaaS providers,” said Matthew Whitton, COO of Grey Matter.
Whitton said the collaboration also extends far beyond technical expertise; adding that is is about delivering a holistic experience that helps clients achieve their goals while maintaining the highest standards of security.
“Together, Cloud9 and Grey Matter are redefining what is possible for ISVs and SaaS providers in Azure. Our shared vision and complementary strengths enable us to deliver unparalleled value, ensuring our clients can innovate with confidence,” said Martin Ferguson, CEO of Azured UK.

Grey Matter and Azured will showcase their collaborative solutions at Grey Matter’s stand during Tech Show London on 12-13 March 2025 at London Excel. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore how this partnership can transform their Azure security operations and accelerate business growth.
