What Is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider? A
Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider is an
organization that offers software, networks, and
infrastructure on the cloud to enterprises.
Microsoft has created a program that enables CSPs
to directly sell its well-known products in
addition to their own services and value-added
goods. CSP partners can create a
comprehensive bundle under the program and charge
their clients however they see suitable. Microsof
t Cloud Solution Provider Services With every
year that goes by, cloud services become more and
more popular. The highest point of this expansion
yet has been reached in 2020. The moment has come
to become a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider and
take advantage of this explosive growth. A CSP
sets up networks, infrastructure, and apps in the
cloud, as was previously indicated. These
services are available online and are housed in
off- site data centres. Companies can hire a CSP
based on their needs and pay for their services
on a usage basis, rather than investing in and
maintaining their own costly infrastructure.
Although CSPs provide a wide range of services,
they usually fall into three categories
Software as a service (SaaS)

• Platform as a service (PaaS)
• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
• However, it can be challenging and complex to
  build up a cloud data centre from the ground up
  and provide a variety of services and support on
  your own. It is precisely where CSP initiatives
  might be useful. You can increase your net profit
  by taking full ownership and control of the
  client lifecycleincluding invoicing and
  supportby becoming a CSP.
• In addition, by joining Microsoft's CSP programme
  as a partner, you can provide the most complete,
  best-of-breed solutions and services.
  Additionally, you can offer your clients
  value-added services and original solutions of
  your own. You will be in charge of invoicing even
  if you are providing Microsoft's software you
  can send your clients a single monthly or yearly
  fee. You can use several touchpoints to address
  your consumers' requirements while using
  Microsoft's CSP programme.
• A Direct CSP Partner What Is It?
• Microsoft collaborates directly with direct CSP
  partners. At a 20 profit margin, these resellers
  buy their stock-keeping units (SKUs) from
  Microsoft and resale them to their clients.
  Resellers who choose this model must have
  sufficient resources to meet all of their
  clients' needs, including providing
  round-the-clock technical help, since Microsoft
  provides little to no technical support under
  this model. The approval process for becoming a
  direct CSP partner is a complex and drawn-out
  process that can take up to four months.
• In addition, resellers that wish to use this
  model need to fulfil a few prerequisites. It is
  necessary for resellers to have an active
  Microsoft Partner Network (MPN) ID in order to
  become a direct CSP partner. They need to pass a
  credit check in order to be eligible for a
  Microsoft support plan. Direct CSP partners must
  have a strong customer billing system because
  they must bill their clients directly. In
  addition to maintaining at least one Microsoft
  Gold Productivity Competency, businesses must
  provide at least one internet protocol (IP),
  managed service, or client solution application.
• An Indirect CSP Partner What Is It?
• Gaining access to the market more quickly and
  easily is possible by becoming an indirect CSP
  partner. Indirect CSP partners do not purchase
  SKUs from Microsoft, in contrast to direct CSP
  partners. Alternatively, they might purchase
  their SKUs from their CSP distributor and resell
  them to clients at a profit of their choosing.
  The fact that you don't even need to be a support
  specialist to be an indirect CSP partner is its
  best feature. Your CSP partner is in charge of
  your customer service. You can get business
  advice, a business portal, and flexible terms and
  rates from CSP partners.

The most common, easiest to understand, and
fastest way to market your services is through an
indirect CSP partner. With this strategy, the
majority of the labor-intensive work is handled
by your provider's infrastructure and skills.
Because you are utilising the infrastructure of
your CSP provider, you avoid the upfront fees.
Having an experienced partner for infrastructure
management and support relieves you of this
burden and lets you concentrate on growing your
business and serving customers more quickly. IFI
