Ingram Micro Syndication provides a new way of selling cloud services, including Microsoft 365 services.
The key points of selling Microsoft 365 services with Ingram Micro Syndication are:
- Ingram Micro Syndication is available to service providers that use CloudBlue Commerce.
- Such a service provider does not need to have a contract with Microsoft to sell Microsoft 365 services; being an Ingram Micro Syndication partner is enough.
- The service provider must have a syndication subscription. The subscription defines which Microsoft 365 services the service provider can sell to customers.
- The service provider must have an Indirect CSP Reseller account in the Microsoft Partner Center.
- The Indirect CSP Reseller account of the service provider must be connected with an Indirect CSP Provider account of Ingram Micro.
- Ingram Micro Syndication requires installation and configuration actions that must be performed on both sides: The Microsoft 365 application is installed and configured within the CloudBlue Commerce system of the service provider. Additional components necessary for Ingram Micro Syndication are installed and configured both on the side of the service provider and on the side of Ingram Micro.
