The benefits are wide-ranging for reseller partners, including the flexibility to scale and serve more customers, a faster time to market with automation of service delivery, billing, and invoicing, and 360-degree visibility on product margins, pricing structure and bundling. Moreover, reseller partners will have the ability to inherit Ingram Micro Cloud’s product catalog on their customizable storefront, increasing its cross-selling opportunities with their own intellectual property and services.
Additionally, the Marketplace-as-a-Service model enables reseller partners to establish their customer-facing storefront, at a significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than what is currently possible.
“By combining our powerful marketplace technology, industry expertise and comprehensive product catalog, we’ve achieved a world-class Marketplace-as-a-Service that we expect will fundamentally transform our reseller partners’ cloud businesses,” said Victor Baez, vice president of Ingram Micro Cloud. “Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, Ingram Micro Cloud continues to add features and functionalities for its reseller partners, to keep pace with the dynamic needs and opportunities of the channel.” The Marketplace-as-a-Service model will enable resellers to grow at scale without worrying about the underlying technology.
The Marketplace-as-a-Service model will also continue to offer reseller partners with a high level of flexibility and automation through integrating with their existing tools and systems, using Marketplace API and other platform integration capabilities.
