By leveraging CSP Indirect, your organization can realize all the technical benefits of Microsoft’s cloud offerings. This will enable your business to achieve its cloud aspirations – ultimately growing your business.

Organizations using CSP Indirect will receive end-to-end guidance and support, which will forge a clear path for your cloud program. This includes developing a clear strategy and designing a comprehensive migration plan. As a result, CSP Indirect Providers greatly simplify the management of cloud and IT resources. With this expert knowledge as guidance, your organization’s cloud service will enjoy a faster time-to-market.

Not all Indirect Providers are created equal. For this reason, organizations must be aware of what should set a CSP Indirect Provider apart. 

Especially when working with Microsoft Azure, it’s important to use an Azure Expert. These experts are certified by Microsoft to have an intricate understanding of Azure environments. With an Azure Expert, your organization has access to an experienced solution provider that can greatly assist in delivering on the business value that Azure provides. Furthermore, your organization’s IT investments will be planned and managed in a way that is cost effective.

Additionally, providers should focus on simplifying your organization’s route to market. This is done with quality cloud support and advisory programs, which eliminate any guesswork that may burden your organization’s time-to-market. Plus, a competitive CSP Indirect Provider should offer state-of-the-art platforms to ensure that your organization can manage their Microsoft solutions in-house with ease.

When the right Indirect Provider is being used, an organization will likely experience an increase in cloud utilization rates. This translates into greater customer satisfaction, which in turn creates more contract renewals. In the end, choosing the right Indirect Provider can greatly improve an indirect reseller’s chances of success.

As a CSP Indirect Reseller, ensuring that your cloud resources are performing at their highest potential is paramount. To confirm that your cloud deployments are as effective as possible, use a world class CSP Provider alongside xSimple solutions. These resources will assist in the maintenance of a complex cloud infrastructure. Leveraging ONEClub’s xSimple offerings, expert advisory, analytics, platforms, and support have never been more attainable.
