iomart helps customers embrace the Cloud

iomart has announced its participation in the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Programme.

The programme is designed to strengthen customer relationships and expand cloud sales opportunities by enabling partners to provide direct billing, sell combined offers and services, as well as directly provision, manage and support products and services.

Starting today iomart owns the complete customer lifecycle, allowing it to easily sell Office 365 and Windows Intune subscriptions and helping customers take advantage of cloud services by owning the entire billing process and directly managing support.

Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart, said: “We are delighted to have been chosen by Microsoft as one of only a handful of cloud providers to work with them on this programme in Europe. It is a natural fit for us because of the expertise we already have across a number of Tier 1 technology leaders.

“Interest in the cloud is growing at a tremendous rate and we have invested heavily in the infrastructure and skills to support this. Joining the Cloud Solution Provider programme and fully supporting and integrating Office 365 into our offering allows us to build stronger relationships with our customers and provide them with the best cloud solutions to enhance their business.”

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