Click below for 3 key elements MSPs need today
Let's break down three key elements for achieving operational efficiency and scalability.
1 Multi-vendor, omni-product procurement and fulfilment
The ability to onboard and manage their own and third-party (vendors or partners), white-labeled services, physical and digital products, as well as managing consumption and billing models (one-time, recurring, pay-as-you-go).
2 Multi-cloud orchestration
Being able to develop, orchestrate and deploy their systems and application templates while offering application-centric management services across their public, private and hybrid clouds from one single platform.
3 Multi-country, multi-subsidiary unification of operations
As MSPs grow and expand into new countries and regions, traditionally they have just created an independent subsidiary.
Each subsidiary has worked independently, seeking out and partnering with their own suppliers and distributors as needed. They’ve also deployed their own IT systems and procurement processes.
By doing so, they have reduced their capacity to standardize procurement flows, but more importantly, they have diminished the negotiation power they could have had as a group when dealing with vendors.
In today’s lean economy, central management for the procurement of cloud solutions and IT products across subsidiaries in different countries is a strategic need.
Modern platforms today offer MSPs the ability to handle multiple marketplaces in different countries and currencies. Catalogs can be shared or separate, listings and offerings can be different in each marketplace but procurement and fulfilment flows can be unified.
The flexibility to work independently… and the power to procure and negotiate as a group,
This unification provides MSPs with both the flexibility to work independently by territory and the power to procure and negotiate as a group, all while automating and standardizing processes.
