Fueling Innovation: Inside Tanium’s Exclusive Partner Innovators of Tanium (PIT) Community

Tanium launched the Partner Innovators of Tanium, also known as the PIT Crew, back in June 2023. This invite-only program is designed to support and grow an exclusive global community of talented technologists and visionaries who share our passion for driving customer success, protecting critical IT infrastructure from bad actors, and want to help shape the evolution of Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM).

Designed to foster collaboration and innovation across our global partner ecosystem, Tanium will be providing members exclusive access to resources, industry experts, and Tanium-hosted events. I am proud to serve as executive sponsor and wanted to share why I am so passionate about how this innovative program is good for Tanium customers, partners, and our industry.

Who are the Partner Innovators of Tanium?

The PIT Crew brings together an elite group of IT and security leaders, architects, and engineers from across our partner ecosystem. These experts combine deep technical knowledge with hands-on experience, united by a shared passion for leveraging the power of the Tanium platform to tackle the most complex challenges.

Beyond being trusted advisors to their peers and clients, they also shape the technology strategies, best practices, and services that empower their organizations to respond to customer demands swiftly and effectively. With 60 members representing 41 organizations across 13 countries — and more to come — this elite community is poised for continued growth in the months and years ahead.

We are a Managed Service Provider for Tanium and help customers wherever they are in their journey. When you look at Tanium, it’s such a massive platform that allows you to have visibility into all your endpoints, helping you identify threats and risks to strengthen your defense strategy.

Goals and guiding principles

Cybersecurity and IT Operations is a team sport built on relationships. Success requires collaboration, curiosity, and a willingness to build an internal and external network of experts to consult with. We firmly believe that the best way to develop innovative, best-in-class solutions requires input and validation from our partners and the customers we serve globally.

Given we offer a robust platform that partners can use to build differentiated managed services and solutions powered by Tanium technology, I hear daily about the unique ways our partners are creating value, whether that be solving a new customer use case, integration, or developing tailored solutions for a market segment or industry vertical. PIT Crew members are the masterminds and expert engineers behind these differentiated solutions that create competitive advantage for their firm.

To that end, PIT Crew members are offered access to the following to both capture their insights and help incubate innovation to solve tomorrow’s problems:

• Product roadmaps
• Planned joint solutions
• NFR licenses and lab resources
• Interactive forums

PIT Crew membership benefits

The program offers an array of exclusive benefits tailored specifically for this community. These benefits include:

• Collaborative road mapping: Through interactive road mapping sessions and invitations to participate in pre-release programs, PIT Crew members engage directly with Tanium product leaders to actively solicit their input and insights to help guide the future direction of our products, ensuring they align with the needs of our end-users, and helping early adopter customers implement and optimize new product releases.
• Brand building and advocacy: Participating partners get access to our social media advocacy platform and speaking opportunities to make it easier to share their unique Tanium stories with our joint customers and prospects. Participants in this program receive early access to thought leadership resources, customizable content, and opportunities to expand their individual brand and drive awareness of their firm.
• Networking and best practice sharing: As our dynamic industry demands, providing partners with exclusive access to Tanium resources, peer networking events, and the latest insights will help ensure our shared customers are benefitting from the collective wisdom of this brain trust.
• Recognition and rewards: Exceptional performance deserves recognition. As part of the program, we highlight and reward partner engineers who consistently demonstrate outstanding achievements and go above and beyond to deliver exceptional outcomes for customers.

I’m eager to continue in these dynamic conversations with our PIT Crew members. Together, we’re charting a path of innovation and growth, and I’m excited to see what we’ll achieve through our continued collaboration and shared vision.

Stay tuned for more updates on our program as we roll out additional features and opportunities in the coming months. To all PIT Crew members, thank you for your dedication and support. We look forward to celebrating together in the winner’s circle!
