Azure Program
KLDera started a partnership with Microsoft in Azure Co-Sell Ready program. The program was initiated in 2016, to provide comprehensive sales and marketing support to the partners of Microsoft.
The program has helped companies grow their business through Microsoft’s global sales force, with partners benefiting from Microsoft software and tools to help mutual customers to accelerate and optimize their migration to Microsoft Azure.
Microsoft Azure is a trusted partner in the enterprise as it aligns companies’ go-to-market trends. To be eligible, businesses must submit customer references that demonstrate successful projects, meet a performance commitment, and pass technology and sales assessments.
The program helped partners, in just the first six months, to close over $1 billion in annual contract value for Azure partners, created $6 billion in Azure partner pipeline opportunity, and generated more than 4,500 deals.
