Cloud via Resellers is Different

To make this model work, a number of capabilities are required:

Ø  White labeling and branding

Ø  Self Service & Automation

Ø  Granular metering and billing

across multiple tiers of resellers

Ø  Multi-currency, multi-language

Ø  Accurate and detailed reporting

Isn’t that easy?

Enlightened Resellers of Cloud are making good progress  

Ø  It’s hard to white label on-line cloud solutions Ø  Cloud marketing is often limited to local geography Ø  Its easy to leave sales revenue on the table for your

competitors Ø  Becoming more successful can mean going bust

more quickly
