Build and Scale your Microsoft Cloud Business with Tech Data

Cloud Solutions

Transformation is reshaping the IT industry. This results in traditional product lines blurring, workloads migrating across technology platforms and customers wanting solutions delivered in ‘as a service’ business models.

The Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) programme enables partners to sell Microsoft Cloud products on a monthly subscription basis. Partners can directly provision, manage, and support their customer and integrate their own tools, products, and services into one monthly customer bill.

Why CSP?Hybrid cloud computing is now the defacto for mid-market and enterprise organisations. Why not open up new Opex based monthly revenue streams with your customers including SMBs. CSP is more profitable and flexible than Open. Tech Data will support you through the business transformation that is required to become a cloud service provider. The key reasons to move to CSP from each licencing model are displayed below.

Model Why

Open Open is not scalable. You have more flexibility through CSP. You are already experienced in selling Office 365. Open is no longer the only model available through distribution.

SPLA You are experienced with a monthly rhythm. Hosting Office through SPLA is typically more expensive and not licence friendly. CSP allows you to offer Office on top of their existing offerings.
