Tech Data Europe Helps Resellers Embrace the Cloud Through Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program

BARCELONA, Spain, March 4, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tech Data Europe today announced that it has been selected to participate in Microsoft's Cloud Solution Provider program. This program is designed to expand cloud sales opportunities for reseller partners by enabling them to provide direct billing, sell combined offers and services, and directly provision, manage and support products and services. Building on the successful launch of the Cloud Solution Provider program in the company's Americas region over the last six months, Tech Data Europe's appointment as a 2-Tier Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) now completes the portfolio of Microsoft cloud products it offers to the channel.

CSP will be integrated into Tech Data's StreamOne cloud platform, which is currently available in UK, France and Sweden. Resellers in the remaining countries in Tech Data Europe's footprint will be able to access this service following a progressive rollout of the platform expected to conclude at the end of April 2015.

Reza Honarmand, vice president, Software and Cloud, Tech Data Europe stated, "This is an important breakthrough for Tech Data and our resellers. Our mission is to enable our reseller partners to offer their customers the best products, services and support needed through the whole lifecycle. We have always done this by providing access to the most complete product portfolio, services and the most innovative toolset to streamline transactions and enable lifecycle management. The Cloud Solution Provider program, coupled with the strengths of our StreamOne platform, is a real winning combination and means we are delivering on our stated mission more effectively than ever before."

Honarmand added, "Tech Data is the leading distributor for Office 365 and Azure in Europe and our status as a key partner for Microsoft has been underlined recently with a series of major awards in recognition of our outstanding cloud products and services. At Microsoft's World Partner Conference awards last year, we were named Distribution Partner of the Year, and we have just been named as winner of three Europe-wide operational excellence prizes at Microsoft's EMEA awards. We are extremely proud of our partnership with Microsoft and we were delighted to receive these awards for our innovation and excellence in execution. With the Cloud Solution Provider program alongside our market-leading cloud solutions like License Online, Activate Here and StreamOne, we are ready to leverage the full strength, scale and expertise of our organization to drive the growth of Microsoft's cloud solutions throughout Europe across all segments from consumer to managed service providers."

Through its participation in the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider program, Tech Data will consolidate monthly billing for Cloud Solution Provider subscriptions along with monthly bills for other cloud services so reseller partners receive a single invoice each month. This will enable solution providers to more easily sell Office 365 and Windows Intune subscriptions. Tech Data Europe will also offer additional services to resellers, including support with Office 365 migration.

"The Cloud Solution Provider Program puts our partners at the center of the customer relationship," said Phil Sorgen, corporate vice president, Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "Through participation, these partners have demonstrated dedication to helping our mutual customers successfully move to the cloud."
