Ingram Micro announced the availability of its Micro Cloud Marketplace in India, continuing its expansion in the Asia Pacific region.
The Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace is an ecosystem of buyers, sellers and solutions that allows channel partners to transform and grow their business by offering instant access to a wide range of innovative cloud solutions from a single online console.
“With cloud adoption growing steadily in India, we are pleased to deliver the platform, innovative solutions and expertise needed to support cloud business transformation,” said Jaishankar Krishnan, Sr. Vice President and Chief Executive, Ingram Micro India Pvt. Ltd.
The company noted that the Cloud Marketplace is quickly gaining widespread traction in India with nearly 200 channel partners already registered and ready to transact on the automated platform.
Ingram Micro offers Cloud Marketplace in five countries throughout the Asia Pacific region and 17 countries worldwide.
The automated Cloud Marketplace will initially be featuring Microsoft Office 365 through the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program.
According to the company, the initial steps would empower channel partners to quickly grow their cloud business by bundling their own cloud services and consolidating invoicing.
In addition, channel partners can seamlessly convert Microsoft Advisor subscriptions to the CSP program on the Cloud Marketplace.
