Keeping “billing” in the limelight

In order to be successful, CSPs need to focus on four major points: Support, service based model, scalability and billing. Out of these four, billing is the most important aspect of a successful CSP Tier 1 partner. CSPs need to directly monitor and provision the subscriptions and manage the customer’s queries related to billing and management. To be a winner in this era, it is important to focus on Direct Billing methods and increase profitability. The billing module must have recurring billing options with proper payment processing.

In order to stay on track on as a Microsoft Tier 1 CSP, you need to show two main key capabilities. First, either you need to provide your customers with an IP service, a solution application or provide a managed service. And secondly, you need to be equipped with a decent infrastructure and enable billing within your systems. In case, either of these capabilities is not fulfilled, the CSPs can continue to provide services as indirect providers.
