IBM XaaS Sales
Succeed With Selling IBM as-a-Service Offerings from One of The Few Globally Approved IBM Partner Marketplaces
IBM Cloud Marketplace Reseller (CMR):
an IBM indirect XaaS reseller
IBM Cloud Aggregator (CA):
an IBM XaaS distributor
Cloud Aggregator Platform Provider:
a partner whose marketplace meets IBM business requirements
To transact IBM XaaS as Cloud Marketplace Resellers (CMR), organizations need to partner with an IBM Cloud Aggregator (CA). The Cloud Aggregators provide Go-To-Market support and a cloud marketplace for resellers to operate their IBM as-a-service businesses on. Cloud Aggregators can leverage their own in-house developed cloud marketplaces as part of their CA offering (if it covers IBM marketplace requirements) or partner with a Cloud Aggregator Platform Provider (as AppXite) to enable IBM XaaS sales for their channels.
Kickstarts your IBM XaaS Success
• Sell IBM cloud software with lightning speed and self-service. Enjoy the shorter sales cycles and software trials as well as the attractive margins.
• By partnering CMR with Cloud Aggregators, IBM ensures that all of its sellers will have from day one a web-based platform to sell, bill and provision subscriptions.
• IBM digitally enables top-performing software solutions so they can be onboarded on IBM Partner Marketplaces, and to be sold and bundled with other SaaS solutions.
• IBM takes care of the end-user support instead of the Cloud Marketplace Resellers or Cloud Aggregators.
Overcome the Competition with AppXite
With the CA programs, IBM spotlights modern IBM partners with cloud experience, a grasp on digital marketing, and the capability to assist resellers with their SaaS growth. Successful CAs are able to transform their value-added services and deliver a meaningful impact on resellers’ IT channels, ultimately shaping their differentiator's position.
