Challenge
Following a business model shift to cloud solution provider, Blue Silver Shift needed to establish a supplier relationship to resell Microsoft Azure and Office 365, since it didn’t yet qualify for the Microsoft CSP Provider program.
Solution
Blue Silver Shift partnered with Ingram Micro Cloud, a company that has proven to be much more than a supplier by delivering sales and marketing support, technical resources and access to an infinite cloud ecosystem.
Results
- Leveraged technical resources, including proof-of-concept engagements, to help plan and move large workloads to the cloud
- Promoted solutions and drove new sales with marketing programs and go-to-market support
- Increased revenue and expanded additional earnings potential by gaining access to hundreds of vetted, cloud-based solutions from a partner-branded portal
- Expanded cross-sell capabilities by taking advantage of opportunities to work with other Ingram Micro Cloud partners offering complementary products and services
"They [Ingram Micro Cloud] go far beyond the typical transactional supplier relationship. Our Ingram Micro Cloud rep is involved and responsive, and provides real support and advice. And for our larger, more complex client migration projects, they offer proof-of-concept services and even some funding opportunities."
