Are your profit margins under pressure?

IT distributors play a crucial role in the supply chain. Their capabilities have enabled them to orchestrate a complex physical network of warehouses, delivery routes, and channel partners to provide the infrastructure and tools needed to run businesses across the globe. 

They are finding it increasingly difficult to differentiate from their competitors and negotiate favorable price points with MSPs and resellers. And it is proving very difficult for them to benefit from the flexibility and agility of subscription-based sales with their current business model. 

In the as-a-service era, organizations are turning to cloud services such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Anything as a Service (XaaS) to replace on-premise infrastructure and business applications. This shift creates opportunities for distributors to offer higher-value solutions and services that generate predictable annual recurring revenue (ARR).  

The question is, how can traditional IT distributors with legacy systems and processes make this change?

The good news is that this transformation to an as-a-service model puts IT distributors in a prime position to transfer and expand their existing operations to grow their margins and use economies of scale to triumph in the cloud economy. 

One way to achieve greater efficiency is using a Marketplace as a Service platform like CloudBlue, which enables distributors to automate and streamline their business, eliminating costly processes and accelerating time to revenue. 

Distributors are also making acquisitions either to expand geographically or to create new lines of business. Through the acquisition of data centers, they can complement their physical offering with cloud services and potentially subscription-ready XaaS offerings, making them available to their global channel.
