Now covers all major European economies with cloud
Ingram Micro continues its European cloud expansion, announcing the availability of its cloud marketplace in Switzerland and a backup specialist in major markets.
The cloud marketplace programme allows channel partners to grow their cloud business by bundling all their own cloud services and consolidating invoicing, it says. Additionally, under this programme channel partners can convert Microsoft Advisor subscriptions to the Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) programme through Ingram Micro’s Microsoft Advisor to CSP service plan.
According to Ingram Micro, the service plan is designed to accelerate the adoption of Microsoft CSP and allow channel partners to own the complete customer lifecycle.
IDC’s study indicates that the public cloud services market in Switzerland is expected to grow to $2.611bn in 2018, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 26.4%.
“Ingram Micro remains committed to helping European channel partners realize cloud success, delivering innovative solutions that drive increased value and profitability to their cloud business. The Cloud Marketplace simplifies success in the cloud by supporting rapid scalability and cloud deployment, seamless user-adoption, and accelerated investment in new cloud services,” says Thomas Mauer, senior managing director, Switzerland, Ingram Micro.
