Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- Obsidian became BlueFlag Security’s exclusive South African reseller on 24 February 2026.
- Obsidian hosted Atlassian Intelligence webinars on 3 February 2026, showing active demand generation.
- It showcased Penguin Stratus edge infrastructure at Digital Retail Africa on 26 February 2026.
What critics are saying
- BlueFlag exclusivity ties Obsidian to one security vendor and one go-to-market motion.
- If Red Hat or Atlassian reduce partner incentives, Obsidian’s deal pipeline tightens fast.
- South Africa concentration and reseller dependence create existential exposure if key vendors switch partners.
What makes Obsidian Systems unique
- Obsidian has 30 years of South African delivery and local support from Randpark Ridge.
- It holds certified partnerships with Red Hat, Atlassian, AWS, Penguin Solutions, and SUSE.
- Red Hat named Obsidian a Mission Critical Automation specialisation partner on 19 May 2026.
