MSPs and VARs, is Cloud Essentials right for you too?
Hi. I'm Ron Hogue.
My 9-5 is with a company who is channel focused. So every day I create training, deliver training, or support partners
who are Managed Service Providers (MSPs) or Value Added Resellers (VARs).
Let me talk to those of you who are MSPs or VARs. You are at an incredible time of opportunity.
As the IT landscape continues to evolve, you have the ability to change with it and remain relevant to your customers.
Those IT vendors who see the opportunity that cloud provides, will be leaders in their markets, will continue to gain market share, and grow your revenue.
Your existing customers already see you as a trusted adviser and your better customers have already begun asking you about computing and virtualization.
Chances are they've been talking to more organizations than just yours; they're talking to their peers and they're talking to your competitors.
I personally feel that the Cloud Essentials certification can be one of your differentiators.
I'm sure you have technicians on staff who have a boatload of technical certifications. Your customers already know
that you have the in-house technical expertise - that's never been an issue for them.
As your customers consider moving their infrastructure to the cloud, they want to know that you understand not only the technical implications
but also the business value, the steps for adoption, and the impact of cloud computing within their organization.
Before making any cloud related purchases, your customers need to know that it's the right choice for their organization.
It's up to you to explain how cloud computing will benefit their organization and how your company is best suited to help them achieve these goals.
Cloud Essentials training will help you do that.
