CLEARWATER, Fla., Nov. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Tech Data
(Nasdaq: TECD) today announced a new strategic relationship with
Dynasource, a specialist partner-to-partner talent-sharing
marketplace, to bring together Microsoft Cloud partners with
complementary skills, helping them address a wider spectrum of
opportunities, develop new capabilities and grow their cloud
businesses.
Microsoft channel partners worldwide who are engaged with Tech
Data on the Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) program will
be invited to register on the Dynasource community platform.
Resellers will be able to provide information on their skills to
the community and seek out potential partners that have specific or
additional capabilities to their own. Tech Data will also use the
platform to identify businesses that have complementary skills or
who can help each other meet customer requirements.
"Tech Data has been leading the way in taking Microsoft CSP and
the Azure platform to market. Partners are seeing tremendous growth
and more opportunities are emerging all the time," said
Michael Urban, corporate vice
president, Corporate Strategy and Business Transformation, who is
responsible for Tech Data's global cloud strategy. "Our
alliance with Dynasource is aimed at meeting the growing need among
partners to fill gaps in their own capabilities, add capacity to
take on more new projects and meet rising demand for Microsoft
cloud services."
"Dynasource is already established as a powerful and highly
effective partner-to-partner community platform, and the addition
of the Tech Data Microsoft community will strengthen it even
further," said Peter-Robin Mijderwijk, CEO of Dynasource. "It will
allow Tech Data's CSP resellers to connect and collaborate very
easily and eventually lead to the creation of a distinct community
within the Dynasource platform. We are looking forward to working
with Tech Data and helping its reseller partners to take more
opportunities."
Tech Data will encourage resellers to use the Dynasource
community to find partners for both specific projects and
longer-term partnerships. While many are expected to work with
partners who are within their own country, the community will not
be limited geographically, enabling cross-border or pan-regional
partnerships to be established.
"Microsoft is committed to bringing partners together in order
to accelerate cloud adoption," said Gavriella Schuster, corporate vice president,
Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft Corp. "Having two of our
important global partners, Tech Data and Dynasource, join forces to
build communities is a major step toward the best collaborating,
transparent and growing partner channel in cloud services."
With the ability to use Tech Data's StreamOne platform to manage
provisioning and billing, Tech Data provides Microsoft partners
with everything they need to develop and grow their cloud business.
The StreamOne platform was recently enhanced and now provides
access to additional resources and options, including StreamOne
Insights, a new set of analytics tools for Microsoft Azure that
enables partners to monitor performance of cloud services and
access usage information in real time.
