solutions for value added resellers
helping you become a cloud services provider to protect and grow your customer base
The cloud offers great opportunities in terms of new business and managing more of your customer’s services. With the market becoming more competitive it is ever more important to have a credible and complete solution offering. ThinkGrid can help you move your business to this model at your own pace, by providing all of the tools you will need and the go-to-market assistance to get you up and running quickly.
"ThinkGrid’s cloud services have been added to our portfolio and, in turn, offer our not-for-profit customers the ability to benefit from access to the latest desktop software and applications built on enterprise class infrastructure..."

As a value added reseller, you business is based on supporting and helping businesses with their IT and communications needs. You are proficient at advising them on vertical market applications, integration and end-to-end products and services.
As the "cloud" becomes more prevalent in IT, your customers will want to benefit from low cost, pay as you go IT, that allows them to access services around the world and never be down. Deploying these services "per customer" or building our your own cloud offering is an expensive and time consuming task. You also want to mix low margin items such as hardware with much higher margin items such as cloud services to improve your business's cash flow. ThinkGrid offers you the ability to benefit immediately from our channel focused approach, by providing you two key things:
|
Back office system to help you with billing, provisioning and management of these new services and aggregating them together to make it easy to start selling and moving services bit by bit.
Readymade data centre network, offering high level SLA's and a suite of products from Hosted Virtual Desktop, right the way to Cloud based backup.
With both these elements you can start to dip your toe in the water without any Capital costs, and allowing you to brand and fully maintain your relationship with your customer.
Services Available
ThinkGrid offers a number of services that can be implemented individually to compliment your existing product set, or bundled and marketing to fit in with your product scope. The full list of services can be provisioned on demand, and initiated and managed via our enterprise level interfaces or API.
Billing and Customer Management
Create a single consolidated invoice aggregating many different services. Construct plans, set resource limits and upgrade limits. Allow customers to add resources to a base plan. Define your own resources and upgrade paths. Bill any type of product or service and set work flows to accept online orders and invoice services that are delivered manually (e.g. professional services). Receive automated payments and input manual payments. Apply payments to customer invoices automatically or manually or integrate with your own existing platform.
Build of Buy
ThinkGrid have focused on providing a competitive platform both in terms of cost, functionality and services. We firmly believe that the capital hardware cost, data centre cost, software, additional work force and time are more than matched by a platform that provides all of the services within weeks, as well as the back office and automation. Find out more about the solution stack and how it compares with on-premise alternatives.
Integration
Utilising the API or interfaces, providers have been able to deliver tactical services such as virtual server infrastructure, hosted Exchange and hosted desktops and have integrated them into their existing control panels and interfaces. This gives our partners a chance to test the market without the capital investment or disruptive process changes, whilst keeping the customer and their value.
Private Cloud
For larger entities looking to utilise the management and provisioning engines but who would like to deploy services in their own data centres, our private cloud option is perfect.
