Accelerate your growth as a cloud services provider

July 27, 2020

Your customers are depending on cloud services

Cloud services have become an indispensable tool for businesses of all sizes, with the global market expected to increase at a CAGR of 16.4% from 2020 to 2027 according to Allied Market Research.

As end-customers increase their cloud usage, more than 74% of them express a desire to work with a trusted partner who has expertise across all cloud models. Furthermore, IDC’s Managed CloudView 2019 report notes that businesses expect their cloud service providers (CSPs) to be able to meet their transformation, strategy and multi-cloud requirements.

Simplify the operational complexity of providing cloud services

These high expectations are part of what is driving the move to the platform economy. Platforms are where and how cloud services are going to be found, consumed and managed, both now and into the future.

By connecting the cloud ecosystem, platforms provide opportunities for agile innovation and interactions that otherwise would not be possible. They also provide the opportunity to streamline processes.

Platforms can provide significant value to channel partners because delivering cloud services is often complex. It requires considerable expertise and time to manage multiple workflows across different CSPs; implement complicated ordering and provisioning protocols; and reconcile disparate billing systems. It can be challenging to get beyond daily operational requirements.
