CE On-Demand was among the first to become an Office 365 Syndication Partner in Central Europe. As such, we are a partner of Microsoft in selling its new cloud services portfolio from June 28th 2011 onwards.
Office 365 can be purchased by end-users either from Microsoft directly, or through Syndication Partners. Although the services portfolios are the same, the difference is that CE On-Demand as a Syndication Partner can invoice customers in their own local currency, provide local language support, and combine Office 365 with locally-managed, locally-delivered messaging, collaboration, and communications services.
End-users are activated and provisioned through CE On-Demand's Cloud Services Manager, our in-house developed provisioning and customer administration platform which combines the Microsoft cloud services portfolio with that of CE On-Demand’s. This unique platform provides added flexibility and dynamic configuration of various cloud services based on customer demands. In addition, it allows partner-level integration with existing provisioning and billing systems. This combined setup makes the administration of cloud services - now enhanced with Office 365 offerings - easy and efficient.
Through this approach, our customers will have the power of choice to decide how, when and where their company data is managed from among CE On-Demand’s local data centers.
