Levelling the
playing field
The CSP programme marks a radical way forward for all resellers in the expanding cloud marketplace. You can compete like never before against bigger players when you sell Microsoft Cloud Services.
Especially if this is joined up with our Cloud Hosted Desktop and Server Offerings. Companies no longer need to invest heavily in infrastructure and resources in order to own the customer relationship end-to-end. The CSP programme fills in the gaps for you
World-class assistance
with zero interference
B2B can deliver everything you need behind the scenes, including purchasing assistance, provisioning & billing via our portal, education and support.
At the same time, you retain full ownership of the customer relationship – and serve as the primary point of contact. As far as your customers are concerned, Microsoft Cloud Services are delivered by you as a Microsoft partner and we aren’t part of the equation.
Great news for
your customers too
With the CSP programme, you can deepen customer relationships, build trust and increase revenues by offering integrated cloud solutions, containing multiple Microsoft Cloud Services and your own offerings.
You can also offer flexible licensing models based on consumption or monthly subscriptions per user. It’s ultra-simple for customers: They get a single bill for support, services and licences – and the recurring revenue comes direct to you.
