SHERBROOKE, July 15, 2019 – Cloud service provider SherWeb was named SMC Scale Indirect Partner of the Year at Microsoft Canada’s IMPACT Awards 2019. By winning the prize, SherWeb has demonstrated its commitment to help small businesses grow with Microsoft’s Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) program.
The IMPACT Awards are given out to Canadian Microsoft partners that show innovation and excellence within the CSP community. This year’s award recognizes SherWeb as Canada’s leading Indirect CSP Provider.
“Our goal is to help our resellers save time and money, and accelerate their cloud business with solutions such as Office 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure, all sold under the CSP,” said Jason Brown, Vice President of Products at SherWeb. “Each of our partners gets access to an entire team of cloud experts for every step of their projects—from marketing to data migration to technical support.”
Microsoft introduced the CSP program in 2014 to allow resellers to set their own prices and profit margins for the Microsoft solutions they sell.
SherWeb’s efforts to make it easier for resellers to be more productive with the CSP drew praise from several partners.
Eddie Clark of SolveiT.rocks:
“I no longer have to spend time chasing down license changes or billing problems or support issues. SherWeb has taken all that off my plate. My time is now spent generating new business instead of fixing back office problems.”
Microsoft received hundreds of nominations for the IMPACT Awards from Canadian hosting providers across the country. The finalists were chosen in 16 categories ranging from Data and AI Innovation to Modern Workplace Innovation to Breakthrough Partner of the Year. Winners were announced at Microsoft’s Inspire conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In its submission, SherWeb spoke about how it used the CSP program to simplify distribution by focusing on Office 365, Dynamics 365 and Azure. The company said this approach enabled it to provide value-added services at scale to Managed Service Providers and their small business clients. As a result, partners began to see SherWeb as an extension of their own business.
SherWeb won the IMPACT award for SMB Partner of the Year in 2017. The company also won the IMPACT award for Cloud Productivity in 2016 and was a finalist for the 2016 Microsoft Hosting Partner of the Year award.
Since 1998, Sherweb has been connecting businesses with IT solutions tailored to their needs. Our growing team of over 1,000 experts help our reseller partners succeed with software from leading brands and value-added services that help them offload technical operations and extend their cloud expertise, from tech support to cybersecurity.
