Ingram
Micro Cloud
, a leading global provider of products and services
designed to streamline and simplify cloud infrastructure building and
management, is proud to announce the impressive growth and success of Azure
Accelerate
– a partner program delivering exclusive services,
promotions and offerings to drive depth and scale in Azure consumption.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform, launched in 2010, for
creating, deploying and managing applications and services through the
worldwide network of its datacenters. It is the only hybrid cloud
platform that allows users to migrate apps, data and infrastructure with
cost-effective and flexible paths.

Ingram Micro’s Azure Accelerate program supports thousands of channel
partners across the globe by bringing business to the Azure cloud faster
and more efficiently than any other service available. The program was
created as a full-service resource to guide businesses through each
stage of Azure implementation, with the goal of improving outcomes and
providing special value-enhancing benefits. Services include:

  • Customer Demand Gen: Helps customers generate and accelerate
    leads through integrated digital marketing.
  • Lifecycle Services: Help partners enable opportunities,
    depending on their need, as well as the workload targeted and the
    partner’s level of maturity.
  • Preferential Pricing: Sets partners up to achieve accelerated
    savings and margins through exclusive promotions, volume discounts and
    discounted services.
  • Competency Build: Provides certificate rebates to individuals
    keeping up with program requirements, certifications and technical
    updates.
  • Elite Partner Treatment: Delivers dedicated resources needed to
    accelerate practice growth.

The program also allows partners to unlock access to deeper offers and
promotions as their Azure practices with Ingram Micro grow.

By providing a reliable methodology, flexible and powerful tools and
proven partner expertise, from 2018 to 2019, Azure Accelerate made
exponential strides, including a 51 percent
increase in total program members
, 90
percent increase in end users
and average resellers seeing 160
percent growth in revenue
.

“Ingram Micro is dedicated to simplifying the complexity of the cloud –
and our numbers are reflective of the fact that we are doing it well,”
said Rachel Kwon, Azure Program Manager at Ingram Micro Cloud. “Whether
they are new to Azure or experts, our partners know they can turn to us
for a best-in-class hands-on support with everything from marketing
campaign deployment, to assessing and identifying opportunities, to
performing cost-benefit analyses and migrations. Partners benefit by
driving larger workloads in reduced timeframes to accelerate revenue
