Microsoft names Arrow an Indirect Provider of the Year finalist

July 06, 2022

Microsoft named Arrow as a 2022 Microsoft Partner of the Year finalist for the Indirect Provider award.

As the cloud landscape grows increasingly complex, companies are being challenged to keep up. Arrow is proud to provide exceptional service that guides and supports our customers' efforts to navigate changes impacting their cloud business.

Our recognition from Microsoft was in large part due to the outstanding work we did to prepare channel partners for the sweeping New Commerce Experience (NCE) changes earlier this year. ArrowSphere, our cloud delivery and business management platform, is the foundation that enabled us to help our channel partners make a seamless transition.

Enabling adoption and go-to-market success

We made significant investments in the ArrowSphere platform to bring confidence to channel partners as they began using the new offerings. ArrowSphere was not only one of the first platforms to integrate Azure Plan and Software in CSP in 2019, but we were also ready the initial NCE seat-based launch in October 2021. Enhancements were made to every facet of the life cycle, from procurement and provisioning to billing and ongoing management.

To support channel partners in cascading this change to end customers, we incorporated the NCE functionality into MyCloud Portal, ArrowSphere's white-label, end-customer marketplace.

We further guided NCE adoption by providing GTM support and resources to empower channel partners. From technical support to educational tools, we were ready well in advance of the changes earlier this year.

How can we help you thrive

As a global IT distributor, we hold ourselves to a standard of excellence in understanding the market and external shifts impacting your business. Whether it's NCE or something else influencing your business — we're here to help you tackle changes, thrive and grow in this exciting and dynamic environment.
