Logicom helps partners and their customers embrace the cloud through Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program

-

Logicom, the leading regional Distributo­r of Technology Solutions and Services, has announced its appointmen­t by Microsoft for the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Program for Greece, Cyprus and Malta. The program is designed to strengthen customer relationsh­ips and expand cloud sales opportunit­ies by enabling channel partners to provision, bundle, invoice, manage and support Microsoft Cloud offerings including Microsoft Office 365, Azure, Microsoft CRM Online and Windows Intune subscripti­ons with greater ease and efficiency.

Through its participat­ion in the CSP Program, Logicom will offer its partners monthly-based billing subscripti­ons along with monthly bills for other services, so that partners will receive only a single invoice each month. Logicom will also provide additional value added services to its partners, including support and migration services. Partners will thus be able to accelerate their sales of Cloud Services by adding value to their own customer base and building their own bundles.

“The Cloud Solution Provider Program puts our partners at the centre of the customer relationsh­ip,” said Phil Sorgen, Corporate Vice President, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. “Through participat­ion, these partners have demonstrat­ed dedication in helping our mutual customers successful­ly move to the cloud.”

Products and Services from the CSP Program will be integrated into the Logicom Cloud Marketplac­e, expected to roll out by the end of the month. The Logicom Cloud Marketplac­e is a result of Logicom’s recent strategic partnershi­p with ALSO Cloud, which offers an advanced cloud solutions environmen­t that will cater for state-oftheart customer experience.

“The appointmen­t of Logicom as a Microsoft CSP provider enables us to offer advanced cloud solutions to our partners and their clients through the Logicom Cloud Marketplac­e. This is another bold step and investment by Logicom for helping our partners and their clients advance in the new cloud world,” said Varnavas Irinarchos, CEO of Logicom Public Ltd.
