Office 365
Small and medium businesses are increasingly shifting to Microsoft Office 365 based systems. Microsoft’s partner ecosystem comprises of resellers and syndication partners for selling its O365 services. Microsoft O365 Syndication partners include Telcos that resell O365 services to SMBs while bundling their own services along with O365 as a packaged offering. They could also bill customers as per their own billing model.
Syndication partners need to invest both time and money to on-board O365 services. There can be a significant delay in ROI if there is no common platform to offer O365 service with the Syndication partner’s own offerings. Moreover it is time consuming to integrate business processes with O365.
To overcome these challenges atom has developed a readymade end-to-end pre-integrated O365 solution for Syndication partners. It is based on atom Cloud Service Delivery Platform (SDP) and can be used to provision and manage O365 services. The same platform can be used to deliver other private and public cloud services that will enable better ROI.
