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.
