Kolkata: Ingram Micro channel partners in India can now offer Microsoft Azure in a flexible consumption-based, pay-as-you-go pricing model through the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program, the company said in a statement.
By leveraging Azure, companies can avoid the complexity and costs associated with in-house IT management and better manage their IT budgets by only paying for what they need.
The Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace fully automates the service delivery, customer management, and invoicing of Azure services, allowing resellers to quickly bring the Azure suite to a wider client base by accelerating time-to-market and eliminating operational complexities. Resellers can also easily differentiate their offerings by bundling their own services with Azure and other Microsoft cloud solutions including Office 365 for greater upsell and cross-sell potential.
“We are pleased to enhance the Ingram Micro Ecosystem of Cloud and differentiate our Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider offering with the addition of Azure to our broad portfolio of cloud solutions,” said Jaishankar Krishnan, Sr. Vice President and Chief Executive, Ingram Micro India.
“By automating the delivery of Azure and making available the necessary resources and tools for transformation, our reseller partners have the capability to quickly build a successful Azure practice and deliver greater value to their customers.”
“Through Ingram Micro, we are well positioned to deliver greater value to our customers and help them transition their business by providing them with a broader selection of cloud solutions,” said Hiren Shah, Director, Dynamic Computer Services.
“We are excited to begin offering Azure’s enhanced suite of services and leverage Ingram Micro’s existing infrastructure to streamline delivery management, broaden our portfolio of offerings, and increase ROI to our customers,” he added.
Ingram Micro was recently recognized for its efforts in automating the delivery of Microsoft Azure services in North America, winning Microsoft’s prestigious Gold Level Excellence in Operations Award. The award honors partners who have delivered market-leading operational excellence and process improvements that support Microsoft technology over the past year.
