										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Evolving from the Application Service Providers (ASPs) business model, where they would provide services based on your IT support services, the <strong>Managed Service Providers</strong> (MSPs) touch a whole wide variety of areas and remotely manage your own IT infrastructure while you focus on your core business. This has gained significant steam in recent years and is expected to reach a valuation of more than <span style="color: #000080;"><a style="color: #000080;" href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/managed-services-market#:~:text=The%20global%20managed%20services%20market,13.4%25%20from%202022%20to%202030." target="_blank" rel="noopener">$700 billion till 2030</a></span>.</p>

<p>As a managed service provider in today’s blood red, cut-throat, step-on-everyone’s-toes market, growing your business and getting that edge over your competitors is no low-hanging fruit. In this article, we will highlight few simple ways you can upscale your business and how MachPanel can help you ensure that your business grows alongside the market.</p>
<p>According to <span style="color: #000080;"><a style="color: #000080;" href="https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2022-02-09-gartner-says-more-than-half-of-enterprise-it-spending" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gartner</a></span>, by 2024 over 50% of IT spend will be in the public cloud and 2/3 of end users who move applications to public cloud will seek help from a third party. This opens up a wealth of opportunities for MSPs to enhance the value they provide to customers. Tools like MachPanel’s multi-cloud automation solution allow MSPs to enhance their customer experiences, grow revenue and leverage automation to transform their business processes.</p>
<h2>Accelerating strategies</h2>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Getting more leads and marketing your business</strong></span><br />
An outstanding website + email and social marketing + PPC advertising + blogs<br />
This might just be the formula to drive up your business and convert the leads into potential sales. In addition to these, following up on the leads by using a method, perhaps an appointment setting service or telemarketing, will result in yourself having a lead generation machine.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>An outstanding website</strong></span><br />
A good, attractive website that gives the prospect what the clients are looking for and is designed to convert leads. For this, you might need someone who has a good eye for design and who understands designing website specifically for lead generation.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Email marketing</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Start building a list of your prospects that you can market to using whatever tools you have available to. With the emails you send, you would also want to educate your customers about the latest problems, how you intend to solve those problems, etc. Now these same messages can then go out to your social media platforms, or you could write blog posts about them.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Scale your security operations </strong></span><br />
As you scale and adapt your business, this lends itself to more vulnerabilities, so you need to have a proactive conversation about risk and layered defenses. Security tools are only as strong as the operators behind them, the real people that fine tune and configure those tools are the ones that need that time and investment in training and education. When these individuals turn into experts, only then you can fill in those security gaps and the holes in your security stack and maximize the technology you already have, all at no cost.</p>
<p>That’s the secret, if you want to expand, grow outwards and mature to MSP to a MSSP, then you must invest inward.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>Become a more cloud-centric service provider</strong></span><br />
Cloud has redefined the IT industry including the managed services. MSPs today need to embrace the cloud to meet the demands of clients having more and more remote workers by adopting a cloud-first strategy. This strategy does not mean to move every part of your business to the cloud, but it does mean taking a cloud-first approach when making decisions for clients’ technology. By making the cloud the default basis of the operations, MSPs gain the following advantages:</p>
<ol>
<li>Scalability as MSPs can increase or decrease resources according to the demand</li>
<li>Flexibility because MSPs can access cloud-based resources from anywhere</li>
<li>Fixed and predictable costs</li>
<li>Less time than setting up on-premises equipment</li>
<li>High reliability as cloud-based infrastructure is less likely to fail</li>
</ol>
<p>If you have not explored the ways you can use the cloud-first approach in your MSP business, now is the time. With more than 35 years of experience helping MSPs delivery flawless cloud services, MachPanel is here to help MSPs and their clients thrive. Our cloud automation and orchestration software brings your services, customers and businesses into total harmony so that they all grow together.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The New Commerce Experience (NCE) brings the Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP) program into alignment with the other programs, such as the Enterprise agreement, so that all customers are subject to the same terms and conditions for cloud purchases.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-5488" src="https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know-1024x536.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="377" srcset="https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know-350x183.jpg 350w, https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know-768x402.jpg 768w, https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know-720x377.jpg 720w, https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know-580x304.jpg 580w, https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know-320x167.jpg 320w, https://blog.machsol.com/wp-content/uploads/NCE-Everything-you-need-to-know.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px" /><br />
The transition to the NCE started back in 2019 with Azure and now its time to move on to the next step. Microsoft is looking to align all the sales streams and provide a unified experience for cloud purchases. To do so, they introduced a new set of offerings for Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Windows 365. To support all these new functional changes, a new set of features is added to the CSP program creating a whole new experience for you and your customers.</p>
<p><span style="color: #003366;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">NCE Timeline</span></strong></span><br />
<strong>August 2021:</strong> The plan to introduce Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 in the NCE was publicly announced.<br />
<strong>October 2021:</strong> Microsoft released the NCE technical preview for partners to test the waters, send their feedback and get familiar with this new component.<br />
<strong>January 2022:</strong> Microsoft officially launched the NCE in its CSP program with incentives and promotional offers for all CSP partners. From January onwards, legacy and NCE worked together.<br />
<strong>March 2022:</strong> All new purchases were enforced through NCE along with a price increase and ending of promotional offers.<br />
<strong>July 2022:</strong> Legacy subscriptions must be renewed in the NCE.</p>
<p><span style="color: #003366;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Changes in CSP<br />
</span></strong></span><br />
<strong>Product availability:<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>New products (Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Windows 365) are available to the CSP while the legacy ones are available with a new phase.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Subscription terms:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Microsoft is willing to enhance customer’s commitment but also offer more flexibility to partners and customers who do not want to commit.</li>
<li>Monthly term offers and annual term offers will become available for all products while triennial will become available for some products.</li>
</ul>
<p style="padding-left: 80px;">o Monthly-term offers for some products with a 20% higher price , compared to annual.<br />
o Annual commitment offers for all products with price protection provided for the commitment terms.<br />
o Three-year term offers for some products with price protection.</p>
<p><strong>Cancellation<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You can no longer suspend or cancel seats during the term but only at an annual anniversary date.</li>
<li>You can continue to add seats but you cannot remove seats during the term.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Billing options:<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Microsoft offers multiple payment options for each term to align with market needs and pave the way for annual and triennial purchases.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul style="list-style-type: disc;">
<li>A new monthly term payment option which is 20% more expensive than the annual term.</li>
<li>Upfront payment is offered for every term.</li>
<li>Monthly or annual payment terms are offered for triennial subscriptions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>These are important changes and may impact the commercial terms you have agreed to with your customers today, and you may need to review your customer agreements. MachPanel’s team is ready to engage with you to plan the move to the NCE. Being your trusted advisor, we will guide and assist you to make the best choice for your customers.</p>
<p><strong>Pricing</strong><br />
Pricing is shifting to be more market centric starting by having a price list for each market country that you sell. The selection of market countries that you sell to gives you the respective number of prices for its market country.</p>
<ul>
<li>Price lists are expressed in the currency of that market, for e.g., if you selling to the US, you will then use the prices for the US expressed in US Dollars.</li>
<li>In the case of selling in two or more countries, two or more respective prices will be expressed.</li>
<li>Microsoft will issue invoice for you in your local currency.</li>
<li>For EU, Microsoft will give price lists for each market country in the European union.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Suspension</strong><br />
The new commerce subscription can be cancelled or resumed at any time without cancellation or termination. However, you will continue to be billed unlike in legacy, but the suspension will immediately block the customer’s access to Microsoft 365 services, applications, and files.<br />
<strong>Promotions<br />
</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Promotions are also applied as a percentage discount to a given subscription with a given payment option and for a limited time duration.</li>
<li>While in the promotion period, you can add seats to the subscription with the same promotional price.</li>
<li>When the subscription is to be renewed, the promotion will be applied if its still active in terms of time.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Trials</strong><br />
As in legacy, trials are available for 25 seats and it cannot be changed or cancelled during the trial period.<br />
Trial gets auto converted to paid subscription for an annual term with 25 seats. This can only be changed within the 72hour window.</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Microsoft Exchange online is an integral tool for most cloud computing businesses of today. Remote connections have now become a very common approach of communication and sending or receiving data from a location that is geographically apart.</p>
<h3><strong>How can Microsoft Exchange Online be used for Remote Working?</strong></h3>
<p>Microsoft Exchange Online has been really popular amongst remote working employees because of its hosted nature. It is a modern tool that provides messaging services to cater state of the art communication needs. Along with Messaging, you can also be in control of the calendar options, contacts management, and many other similar tasks.</p>
<h3><strong>What is an Access Denied error?</strong></h3>
<p>Many times, users face an Access is denied error while connecting remotely. A common scenario can be, a user initiates a session to connect to a remote server and while doing so the following error is received.</p>
<p><span style="color: #e61d26;"><strong><em>Connecting to remote server outlook.office365.com failed with the following error message &#8211; &#8220;Access is denied&#8221;</em></strong></span></p>
<h3><strong>What are the possible reasons for this error?</strong></h3>
<p>With the introduction of OAuth 2.0, almost all Microsoft products were shifted to this more secure protocol to cater to modern-day security challenges. This means that the previously deployed Basic Authentication system is discontinued.</p>
<p>To further speed up the process, Microsoft started identifying the tenants under its O365 cloud which were not using Basic Authentication and have stopped/blocked them from using it. Thus, if any tenants are using the Basic Authentication mechanism, it&#8217;ll cease to work.</p>
<p>The same might happen with MachPanel users who are using the MachPanel v6 or later in addition to MachPanel&#8217;s Exchange Online extension for its CSP Module.</p>
<h2><strong>The solution</strong>:</h2>
<p>To get MachPanel running smoothly with <a href="https://www.machsol.com/machpanel-automation-for-microsoft-CSP-partners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Exchange Online</a>, you need to follow the following steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>In the Tenant you can run this Command <strong>Get-OrganizationConfig | Format-List basic*</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>(You will see the entry/value: 255 which stand for <strong>All Basic Authentications Blocked</strong> i.e. <strong>BasicAuthBlockedApps</strong>=255)</p>
<ol start="2">
<li>To change this, you need to login with the <strong>Global Admin</strong>, then go to the <strong>Help section</strong> and run this command. After That, you can activate the Basic Authentication.</li>
<li>After activating the Basic Authentication for Exchange Online Remote PowerShell and running this Command: Get-OrganizationConfig | Format-List basic*</li>
</ol>
<p>(You will see the entry/value: 239 which stand for All Basic Authentications Allowed i.e. BasicAuthBlockedApps = 239)</p>
<ol start="4">
<li>Finally, you can now connect via Exchange Online OAuth v1.0</li>
</ol>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In order to remain in the loop, companies today have to invest with the Right Managed Service Providers. Not only has it become difficult to maintain a competitive edge, it is also time consuming due to the large dependence of companies growth on digital data. In the realm of Service Provision, MSPs, or Managed Service Providers are true life savers. They handle all the “necessary” operations related to infrastructure and Service provision like adhering to best practices, following IT service management methodologies, deploying best in line security practices and similar capabilities.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Importance of MSP Best Practices</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To keep your system ahead of the curve and keep the services up and running, it requires good operation of the systems and managing them consistently. At the end of the day, you need to be confident enough to deliver reliable services to your customers. A Well versed MSP is all you need to build that confidence in your company. A Good and well managed back-end is all you need to ensure reliability.</span></p>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">What IT challenges can be overcome with MSPs?</span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As the technological landscape continues to grow, there is a growing need of a third party managing your IT support and services back-end. By working with the Right MSP, you’ll be able to overcome the challenges:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>Changing Technologies</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Changes in technologies are reflected by how companies operate. Technology is advancing at a Rapid rate and thus, many companies are looking for Remote workforces. In modern times, Big Data has come to the scene and has revolutionized how leaders take decisions.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>Optimized Customer experience</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With faster technology, there is a need for better customer experience. To keep your services up and running at all times, MSPs assist you in maintenance of the infrastructure so that there is no delay or jitter in any of your hosted services. The Right MSP will make you meet this challenge.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>Costs</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When it comes to the physical infrastructure, it is always a difficult decision on which option to select. This is where MSPs come in handy. They assist you in spending in the right areas and go with defining processes and manage that technology.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>Finding the Right person</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One major challenge which has aroused a plethora of technologies is finding the Right person to get the job done. MSPs are one point of contact to resolve all techno related issues. IT also brings down the rate of human error since the Right person is in charge of the job.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Becoming a Successful Microsoft CSP requires a lot of dedication and smart work. If you are into a CSP Business, this guide is for you. </span>For a successful CSP business, it is important to keep an eye on the requirements that Microsoft updates for CSPs. Another pro tip for CSPs is to go for modern-day <a href="https://www.machsol.com/machpanel-automation-for-microsoft-CSP-partners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CSP Automation</a>.</p>
<h2><b>Bridging the gaps to become a successful Microsoft CSP</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Partners are striving to meet the requirements set by Microsoft for Microsoft CSPs all over the world. The cloud and the Edge are two powerful components of how businesses make use of the internet today. A Microsoft CSP Program is needed to make sure you are right on spot and updated with the latest happenings from Microsoft. </span></p>
<h2><b>How many Partners Types are there?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are three different types of Partners under the Microsoft CSP Program:</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>CSP Direct Bill Partners</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CSP Direct Bill Partners have been able to purchase third-party and first-party offers from Microsoft Marketplace. Once purchased, you can now sell them further to your customers. There are a few requirements to become a direct Bill Partner like the ability to provide first-level cloud support to your customer and have an infrastructure in place for customer billing management.</span><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>CSP Indirect Providers</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are also called Distributors. They can also purchase first and third-party offers from Marketplace, however, they can also integrate these offers into their own and resell them to their clients. Again, customer support and billing infrastructure requirements are there for Indirect Providers.</span><b></b></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>CSP indirect resellers</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">These Partners do not have a direct relationship with Microsoft, rather, they depend on indirect providers for transactions in Microsoft CSP Program. They are able to offer managed services and billing services to customers. </span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Adopting modern Cloud Automation solutions is a key to reduce overall costs of cloud business management with a centralized environment. In addition to this, there has been a whopping 94% of improvement in overall business security. </span></p>
<h2><b>What is cloud automation and why should you bother?</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ever since the world adopted cloud computing technology, its future has been unpredictable. In the initial days, making the shift to the cloud was a big game-changer in the business and market. However, now it has become the need of business and every business relies on this technology for data and cloud. </span></p>
<p><b><i>So where does the automation fit in?</i></b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Deploying and operating enterprise workloads is time consuming. There have been a lot of repetitive and laborious processes like redundant billing procedures, understanding cloud budgets was a painstaking task and many others. With cloud automation all of this is streamlined using Cloud automation tools. The laborious processes are automated and the ultimate goal with cloud automation is to reduce manual efforts.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With cloud automation, one major component that has been improved is security. Cloud automation also caters to the scalability needs of companies opting DevOps. In general, there are 3 types: private cloud automation, hybrid cloud automation, and multi-cloud automation.</span></p>
<h2><b>What are a few use cases where cloud automation can be applied to?</b></h2>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>Infrastructure provisioning</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Configure multiple virtual servers is a time consuming task. With cloud automation tools, such tasks are automated where a template is defined based on how an individual virtual server needs to be configured. Other cloud resources like network setups, storage buckets etc. can be configured using cloud automation tools based on your provider. Such type of provisioning is known as infrastructure as a Code or IaC tool.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>Application deployment</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another key use case is Application deployment. Developers often face difficulties in releasing apps to production environments and testing if everything works fine as it had been in the development environment. Cloud automation tools support continuous integration and continuous delivery platforms for easy deployment.</span></p>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h3><b>Data classification</b></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Another use case that will be very well applicable in near future is Data classification and discovery. Cloud automation tools are capable of automatically scanning cloud environments for sensitive data. Such a task, if done by hand, would be extremely laborious. Deploying the right tools also makes enterprises meet compliance goals.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">ALSO READ: <span style="color: #e61d26;"><a style="color: #e61d26;" href="https://blog.machsol.com/cloud/cloud-orchestration-best-practices-for-cloud-performance-management" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLOUD ORCHESTRATION BEST PRACTICES FOR CLOUD PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT</a></span></h3>
<h2><b>Cloud Automation Vs Orchestration</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cloud automation and orchestration both are closely related to automation in general. However, the key difference is that Cloud automation mostly revolves around automation of individual processes whereas cloud orchestration automates entire cloud computing workflows.</span></p>
<h2><b>MachPanel Automation Module for Microsoft CSP</b></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">MachPanel offers cloud orchestration and lets you focus on provision with its easy to use management platform. With <a href="https://www.machsol.com/products/machpanel/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MachPanel</a>, Providers can easily fulfil their CSP complaint requirements and manage entire life cycles with just a few clicks.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no denying the fact that there is a strong role of multi-cloud approach in telecom industry.

<h3>How the multi-cloud approach benefits Communications Service Providers</h3>
<p>In the modern cloud space, multi-cloud has become a norm really quickly. When talking about role of cloud computing in telecom industry, multi-cloud approach comes in the first-line. Even though the nature of multi-cloud approach looked complex in terms of management and adoption at first, there have been solutions designed in the market to overcome the challenges of a multi-cloud environment. This makes CSPs take benefit from two or more cloud providers and stay in control of their environment.</p>
<p>With a dynamic and up-to-date catalog, Providers can stay ahead of the curve and are be able to limit consumptions resulting in adopting a cost-effective approach.  The multi-cloud environment itself is a Cost transparent and highly visible environment.</p>
<h3>Major benefits of public cloud to Communications Service Providers</h3>
<p>Using a single public cloud is no different. CSPs are always in search for best cloud services.  Multi-cloud approach is just one step ahead of single public cloud approach. What are the major benefits to Communication providers that they can get form public clouds? Let’s have a look</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><strong>Best-in-line automation</strong></h4>

</li>
</ul>
<p>Business flourish when they end up saving bucks after investing in any cloud-based plan. Public clouds provide better savings and thus reduced TCOs.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><strong>Reduced Time to market</strong></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Core operations like Service design, testing and deployment, are all automated and done with an agile approach, hence reducing the time to market for CSP business.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h4><strong>Leave it to the experts</strong></h4>
</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Going hybrid is the new norm. While organizations strive to gain cutting edge benefits of technology, staying ahead of the curve also requires being efficient and adopting the latest technology. This requires managers to prepare the organization to adapt to the current and future technological changes. Thus, Hybrid is a win-win in a situation for organizations that aren’t fully ready to adopt the cloud but still wish to adopt cutting edge benefits of the cloud.</p>
<h3>What you need to know when going for a hybrid cloud solution</h3>
<p>Before going hybrid you needs to fully understand that hybrid doesn’t provide all the cloud benefits available for companies adopting the cloud-first strategy. However, there are still many benefits of going hybrid. It is important for CSPs to understand that hybrid is a “transition to cloud” approach and thus, they can eventually get their business landed in the Cloud!</p>
<p>Here are a few reasons why hybrid fits best for CSP business:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Easy Disaster Recovery</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>In modern times, disaster recovery is an important aspect which every business must throw light to. Since Hybrid provides cloud benefits too, organizations can take the advantage of cloud storage that can be beneficial in case of a disaster. The organization’s mission critical applications and sensitive data can be backed up in the cloud and the best part is: you can pay for what you use!</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Flexibility</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Hybrid cloud allows for flexibly so your organization can keep what is needed in the on-perm setup and pay for what is needed from the cloud. This transition can also lead up to adopt the cloud-first strategy for your company eventually.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Innovative solutions</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The cloud has provided a huge platform for innovation with security. With hybrid deployments, you can leverage the benefits of cloud innovation. One example is cloud bursting. Companies can run their solutions or apps in their data centers; however, if there is a need for it, they can burst the app into public cloud. Apps that handle non-sensitive information can be used like that.</p>
<ul>
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Cost–effective management</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Going hybrid brings more ease of administration. Not only the tasks are easily managed (while no data centers being monitored at all times), they are also done with a reduced cost.</p>
<h3>It’s time to take a stand</h3>
<p>Hybrid solutions provide a combination of public and private environments to make the companies get the best of both the worlds. This maximizes productivity of the business and thus gives you all the time you need to get used to the cloud based environment before jumping to the cloud.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For IT resellers, especially Microsoft CSP partners, the first line of cloud business service for distribution of operational processes was Office 365. With the increase in demand of cloud business services, there is a dire need to opt for business processes <a href="https://www.machsol.com/machpanel-automation-for-microsoft-CSP-partners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">automation services from CSPs</a>. For example: Processes like Customer demand operations overburden the ERP system and so a need for cloud-based system was evolved.</p>
<p>Even today, Microsoft CSPs often experience an obstruction in cloud computing services business growth which leads to lesser margins. In order to increase business growth, it is important to highlight the processes that can be automated and are currently being carried out manually. Here, we highlight a few such processes that every Microsoft CSP must know to in order to automate for better business growth.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Changing margins due to change in Microsoft’s Prices</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Let’s face it. We’ve all been in a situation where we think again on what sales price to quote to the customers for a better profit margin. It is due to the fact that Microsoft frequently changes its Azure and Office 365 cost prices, leaving every Microsoft CSP in confusion. For better revenue it is essential that your account manager is updated with the Microsoft’s latest pricing spreadsheets. Let’s say, a quote for a service can give you better margins in January but not the same good margin the next month! With manual checking, you’d need a huge team to just keep checking for the updates every now and then from Microsoft. The sane solution would be: Go for automation and change quotes accordingly for better profit margins.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>ERP overload due to manual updation of License Quantities</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p>A manual creation of new sales order each time a customer’s buys something from your business service, the ERP would stay sane for a couple of thousand orders but once your revenue stream goes up, by say 50 thousand USD, the process would become extremely laborious. In order to cater for that, every Microsoft CSP must assess new automation approaches to simplify complex tasks in your cloud computing services.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Invoicing your customers (The mess has just begun)</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Even today some CSPs are going through manual invoicing, where you add the customers costs. Depending upon your setup, you might have another person handle the suppliers like Microsoft. These are two different jobs but have a huge impact on your business revenue if not done in harmony.</p>
<p>The person handling manual invoices must create invoices based on the billing system and calculate costs. Thu number of updates makes the process more messy depending upon the billing cycle for each customer. At the end, nobody is sure that the final invoice is exactly what it should be, since it is a manual generation.</p>
<ol start="4">
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Microsoft Cost Reconciliation and resulting Discrepancies in costs</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The manual systems get more complicated when the business has to pay the supplier like Microsoft right away. You might notice after a few cycles that there is no reconciliation between the supplier invoice for a billing cycle and the customers’ payments for the same billing cycle. Since you can’t say no to a supplier (ever), your cloud computing services business suffers because of manual invoicing practice.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li>
<h3><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>The struggle to deliver cost-transparency</strong></span></h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Customers demand cost-transparency. That is not really possible if the data is managed manually. With a larger customer base, this is practically impossible without an automated approach.</p>
