Digital Logistics now a reality for African IT resellers with BlueSky from Westcon-Comstor
As companies the world over are driving customers to embrace the cloud and all things digital, Westcon-Comstor has put its money where its mouth is with the simple message that digital transformation starts at home.
With the recent launch of its BlueSky Cloud and Service management platform, the company is offering local resellers a cloud-based global digital aggregation solution for all their distribution needs.
This revolutionary new cloud business intelligence solution puts resellers at the centre of the digital services life cycle, providing unprecedented visibility into and control over the entire cloud supply chain.
“With BlueSky we are giving African resellers a digital alternative to IT distribution by providing them with a platform that radically simplifies order, delivery and management of cloud services and solutions,” states Leane Hannigan, Westcon-Comstor Cloud Solutions Practice director.
“With BlueSky a reseller can more easily monitor their end customers’ product procurement and usage, subscription renewals and services contracts via a single sign-on dashboard.”
But that’s not where it ends, with its built in merchandising analytics solution partners can also track end users’ progress throughout their online “shopping experience”, using the information acquired to provide more targeted, relevant buying suggestions along the way.
What is BlueSky? In short, it is a global system, currently being deployed throughout Westcon-Comstor offices worldwide, built from the ground up to simplify the aggregation and procurement of cloud-based solutions and services.
Looking ahead BlueSky will, in the near future, be delivered as a white-labelled online portal, giving resellers a branded storefront for their own end-user customers.
The first local vendor to have already on-boarded on the platform is Microsoft, providing the vendor partner the first local digital aggregation partnership in the region.
Future announcements of additional vendors who will look to bring both physical and digital products to BlueSky will be made over the coming months.
“With BlueSky we are giving our partners not only a digital tool for their distribution requirements, but also a system that enables them to brand cloud services as their own, the ability to customise the dashboard for greater visibility of a variety of analytics and information to better manage the order lifecycle,” adds Hannigan.
BlueSky has also been launched in Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia, with future announcements of additional countries on the continent to be made in the coming months.
