Dutch cloud services distributor Resello has signed two key deals in cloud backup and cloud training. Acronis has added Resello as its newest Acronis Cloud Reseller and Didacticum will sell its Microsoft cloud training courses to 1,500 resellers through the company.
On the backup deal, Mathijs Theunissen, strategic partner manager for the Benelux and the Nordics at Acronis, said: “Resello is an important partner for us, they have resellers in over 100 countries and a strong focus on growing their presence in Western Europe. By adding them as our newest Cloud Reseller, both they and their partners can benefit from a growing business opportunity as the demand for SaaS-solutions like Acronis Backup Cloud is increasing rapidly.”
Resello offers its custom built automation platform to partners, including MSPs, VARs, telcos and web-hosters, which allows them to manage the provisioning, usage, billing and reporting for customer cloud solutions all in one place.
Martijn Kamphuis, product manager at Resello, said: “Working closer together allows us to provide our partners with the backup solutions they need for their customers, while enabling them to quickly reach incremental revenues with zero upfront costs and benefit from a pay-as-you-go business model.”
Resello has also now started a strategic partnership with Didacticum, a provider of IT training and certification courses and an Azure Cloud Integrator. The deal allows Resello’s partners in the Benelux to benefit from over 150 Microsoft training and certification courses as well as the opportunity to access on-demand training courses tailored to their specific needs.Resello and Didacticum will also cooperate in a number of seminars around the Microsoft CSP programme, including presentations on Azure and Teams, they say.
Harald Nuij, CCO at Resello, said: “We see the added benefit training courses offer in supporting our partners in selling cloud solutions to their customers. Partnering with Didacticum makes perfect sense, they have over 20 years of experience in training and certification courses and sharing knowledge is simply part of their DNA.”
Taco Hettema, director of training at Didacticum, said: “Microsoft is very rapidly expanding its service offering, which is great of course, but it also becomes a challenge for many businesses simply to keep up with these developments. That is why Resello and Didacticum will also organise a series of seminars together, to bring Resello partners and other interested parties ‘up to speed’.”
