Tribridge Concerto Cloud Services Helps Channel Partners Move to the Cloud with New Channel Partner Program

WASHINGTON, July 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference -- Tribridge Concerto Cloud Services today announced the launch of a new Channel Partner Program to help businesses quickly move their offerings to the cloud to better serve customers, accelerate sales and capture market share. The new program is ideal for channel partners that could – until now – only deliver applications through an on-premise platform.

The Concerto Cloud Channel Partner Program features comprehensive operational, technical and organizational support, marketing and sales enablement tools, and a customized advisory process designed for rapid transition to a profitable cloud model. Concerto Cloud Services offers an application platform, integration services and support for optimized cloud delivery so that partners can provide access to a robust, compliant cloud solution anywhere, any time and on any device.

"We view cloud enablement as a total business transformation that requires a shift in how you approach all facets of the organization," said Greg Pierce, vice president, Concerto Cloud Services. "We invested millions of dollars in building the highest-quality cloud infrastructure so that software companies don't have to. Whether a partner has yet to move to the cloud or their experience thus far has been challenging, we've bundled best practices, lessons learned and business requirements gleaned for more than four years to help other organizations rapidly accelerate to the cloud."

Primary Features and Benefits of Concerto Cloud's Channel Partner Program:

• In-depth technical architecture and customer requirements evaluations
• Operational planning, system optimization, deployment considerations and financial/licensing model development
• Top-down leadership/business development training and sales operations readiness
• Go-to-market strategy with cloud-specific marketing collateral
