New revenue and profit models for service providers with Microsoft Azure

Let’s be frank right from the start: this whitepaper is not your ultimate guide to Microsoft Azure. No, Microsoft Azure simply has too many features. Instead of trying to address them all, we prefer to zoom in on Microsoft Azure from your perspective as a service provider. This whitepaper will focus on how you can incorporate Azure into your own service offering and find a different way to engage with your end users.

Furthermore, this whitepaper explores how Microsoft Azure can be a very profitable way to open up new business opportunities for you as service providers and help your end users advance into the cloud. It presents a short introduction to Microsoft Azure, some possible scenarios on how to work with Azure, how it fits in with the Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider Program (CSP), and a quick guide on how to get started.
