Webmation Exits Microsoft CSP Direct to Partner with SYNNEX and Expand Technology Offerings
Microsoft’s latest push to consolidate partners under larger
direct partners is a smart one. Not only does it help direct partners generate
more revenue, speed up support times and reduce Microsoft’s overhead costs; the
move also provides indirect partners and their customers with additional benefits.
As a direct Microsoft CSP partner ourselves, Webmation
evaluated the pros and cons of staying direct or switching to an indirect
partner. The first big change was the new support package requirements that
start at $15,000 a year and top $70,000 for advanced packages. Initially
planning to stay direct, we were courted by several Enterprise level partners.
During our evaluation process, the cost-to-benefit ratio of switching to an indirect
partner became crystal clear.
Webmation is excited to announce our partnership with the SYNNEX Corporation
For Webmation, our decision to partner with SYNNEX was based
on the following factors:
- Access to highest level tier support from Microsoft
- Second level support from SYNNEX techs who came from
Microsoft
- Ability to enter the Government and Non-Profit licensing
space quickly
- API access to integrate SYNNEX’s offerings and Microsoft's licensing into our platform
- Access to over 1100 other technology vendors without having
to setup individual accounts
- Pre and Post Sale Support from SYNNEX account executives
that specialize in each product group
- SYNNEX’s history and financial record including being in the
Fortune 200 with over $20B in revenue in 2018.
SYNNEX’s sales follow up and post client on-boarding also
reassured our decision that they were the right partner for us. In addition, to
being able to offer our clients continued support with their Microsoft Cloud
Services, Webmation is now able to offer a array to software and hardware
solutions; including Canon, HP, Symantec, Epson and more through the
partnership. This will allow us to create plug and play solutions for our
clients' security and IT infrastructure that integrate seamlessly with Webmation’s ERP SAAS platform and Managed Marketing Services.
