MPSexcellence has been selected by Google (News - Alert) to assist Google Apps Resellers in building Cloud Solutions Providers (CSPs) businesses by offering a set of tools and services that includes complementary cloud services that reside in the Google Apps Marketplace. MSPexcellence provides Managed Services Providers (MSPs) with business-building consultancy services and will hopefully help Google Apps Resellers grow a sustainable business around Google Apps.
MSPexcellence Cloud Solutions Provider Program will include business-building blueprints that will show resellers how to establish and scale a CSP business progressively and will feature a Virtual Peer Group VPG (News - Alert)) for discussing best practices and how to apply strategies. The program will have four growth stages that depict a Cloud Solutions Provider lifecycle. These include the Go-To-Market Blueprint, a Service Pricing Blueprint, a Sales Process Blueprint and a Performance Management Blueprint.
All subscribers to the program will automatically become VPG members where they will benefit in shared knowledge that will help them in technology strategies and sales and marketing execution.
According to MSPexcellence Partner and Co-founder, Todd Hussey (News - Alert), the market is undergoing a fundamental change in the use of IT services and Google is perfectly positioned to lead in the next transformation with cloud solutions which will provide greater business value to its customers and business opportunities for its partners.
With small businesses and enterprises shifting their IT services to the cloud, MSPexcellence partnership with Google is already getting positive responses from the beta testers of the product which includes companies like Cumulus Global and Logicwing.
The Cloud Solutions Provider Program is available with an annual 12-month subscription price going for $1,995. Subscribers will gain access to a shared website hosting online resource of tools, templates and educational materials. The first VPG session which will feature the Google Apps SMB Channel Lead, Jeff Ragusa as guest speaker, will take place on April 11, 2012 at 12:00PM ET.
