Target audience: Business Leaders

Language: English

Gediminas Siudikas, Head of Customer Service, Softera Lithuania: The Cloud course provided by 1ClickFactory gave us exactly what we lacked most - the clear understanding of the Cloud change and the steps to be taken when moving to the Cloud.

Karol Sudnik, CEO, Xplus Poland : The training was an eyes opener for us and brought a great value in realizing what a cloud based business is. As today's world goes enormously fast into the era of the Internet and the majority of services in the future will be realized online, it becomes essential to learn as much as we can about the Cloud.

COURSE OVERVIEW

Are you aware of how the next large transformation of the IT and Software industry will affect your business as a partner? Are you aware that Cloud Computing are bringing new threats and new opportunities that might help you, if taken advantage of, to grow your business more profitably? Are you ready with a plan that can help you move through this transformation over the next 3-5 years? If not your business might come under heavy pressure.

Economic recession and resulting tight IT budgets are driving demand for more economically efficient solutions ... and Cloud Computing is a solution. How ready are you for the Software + Services journey? "Cloud Transformation of your Business" provides leaders from Microsoft Partners with background, insights, strategies and tactics to help them establish a successful Cloud computing practice. A Cloud Computing practice enhances the offering portfolio a Microsoft partner brings to market allowing for greater differentiation and ability to compete.

COURSE OBJECTIVE

The course objectives are:

To introduce the Cloud Computing model and assess its impact and opportunities for Microsoft partners.
Discuss how offerings have to be put together to be attractive in the web.
To analyze how the transition affects a typical partner P&L and how a transition can be optimized (part of the course is a P&L modeling tool that partners can use to model their own P&L).
To analyze a series of best practices in marketing, sales and operations that will enable partners to transition from a traditional on-premise model to the new cloud-based model, driving growth to their business.

EXPECTED BUSINESS OUTCOMES

This course is relevant not only to partners who currently deliver Microsoft Dynamics solutions and services on premise and who want to set up an S+S business but also to those with an existing S+S practice (Microsoft BPOS partners for example) who want to optimize their strategy. It has also been designed for ISVs and VARs who want to add a Microsoft Dynamics S+S solution to their offering portfolio. The strategies and concepts that will be discussed will impact every level of a partner firm so we recommend participation of executive management as wells as heads of department. Attending this course and adopting the framework proposed will make partners' businesses more successful by increasing their chances of building a profitable and sustainable S+S business.
