Your customers, no matter what line of business they are in, are quickly making the move to the cloud. It\u2019s not merely a trend, it\u2019s the way that business is being done today. A recent IDG<\/a> study found that 89% of enterprises are planning to, or have already adopted a cloud first strategy. This represents a huge revenue opportunity and a path to grow your business as a Managed Service Provider (MSP), while deepening your relationship with your customers.<\/p>\n

However, for many MSPs there are so many new products and services, that it\u2019s impossible for you to have the breadth of expertise on all the latest solutions, sales skills, and project management capabilities necessary to successfully engage on these projects. Due to these challenges, many of you are looking to partner with a cloud provider, one that is far more than a mere distributor, who can be your trusted business advisor<\/a> to accelerate your growth.<\/p>\n

A best-in-class cloud provider will get to know your business, the unique skills and expertise you possess, and how best to help you successfully complete digital transformation projects. This partnership will support your entire operation, not just provide technical resources. For example, it will provide you with tools to build accurate quotes and proposals, as well as other sales enablement materials that are essential to growing your business. One of the most attractive short-term sales opportunities for you as an MSP is supporting your customers as they move from traditional Microsoft Office installations to cloud-based Office 365. The right Office 365 partner<\/a> can provide help with the complexities of Microsoft licensing, assist you in transitioning the customer to the cloud with zero data loss, and even offer you their own IP to create more value for your customers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How a Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) Partner Will Make You Succeed With Cloud First Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As an MSP, growing a successful business that supports cloud first or transformation projects requires not only offering the right managed services, it also requires that you partner with a cloud provide<\/a>r that can help take your business forward. This includes providing services for you that: make it easy to get started, enhance your marketing and sales, and deliver support exactly where and how you need it. You want the resources that will position you as an expert and increase your customers’ confidence in you as an MSP. These resources need to be specific to your needs to service your customers, not a \u201ccookie-cutter\u201d approach.<\/p>\n

When CSP partners are committed to your success and have invested in a broad set of services that extend your capabilities and help you sell and retain more customers, you have a great partner. These are four examples of these kinds of services that are delivered by a true cloud partner.<\/p>\n
