Ambition Mission

According to a press release today from Microsoft and a subsequent CRN article (http://www.crn.com/software/212300577 ), Microsoft Partners can Private Label SaaS solutions to end customers.

This is good news!

Many customers, especially when leasing and financing options become more difficult to obtain as funding options for capital projects, see the value in hosted solutions (vs. Traditional “on premise”).

The big grumbling from Partners about Microsoft’s play in this area was the inability for a partner to brand the Saas solution and further be able to control and manage the valued customer relationship.

With another very powerful tool in the arsenal, Microsoft Partners are now better prepared for engaging new customers in an economic environment that can be summed up with the word “caution.”

Pay as you go, Private Label SaaS solutions that Partners can offer end customers is not new. Microsoft being the back end, however, is.

Thanks for listening Microsoft!

Happy Hunting and “Let Ambition Be Your Mission!”
