Case Study - Data # 3 cloudbolt.io 703.665.1060 A forward-looking partnership As we begin 2023, Phil, his team, and CloudBolt have a lot to look forward to - starting with the rigorous Azure Expert MSP renewal audit. The Azure Expert MSP is an accolade that little over a hundred providers maintain and is designed to recognise partners who embrace and embody the concept of the next-generation MSP. Being a validated Azure Expert MSP sets partners apart in an increasingly competitive market and helps customers easily identify highly capable providers. In Phil's words, "during that process, [the auditors] look comprehensively at how you're engaging with customers, and you're required to demonstrate the use of all the tooling features." When asked about his feeling about the upcoming audit, Phil feels confident in a smooth renewal with CloudBolt as a partner. "CloudBolt has much more mature functionality," he comments, "we're excited to demonstrate the customer service improvements we've implemented through the use of CloudBolt." Data # 3's service team has plans to expand their offerings in the coming months, with a focus on multi-cloud "We have brought new resources into our Microsoft practice," Phil says, "and, we will be well and truly running with AWS in the early part of 2023." With their adoption of CloudBolt, Data # 3 is well positioned to bring their cost service offerings to support more customer outcomes across Azure and AWS. In addition, the roll-out of CloudBolt's Cloud Management Platform will add self-service and automation capabilities to the business. The shift to multi-cloud and automation services will profoundly improve the team's ability to service their current customer base, as well as acquire new ones. As a business leader, Phil also looks forward to increased team efficiency as time progresses. "The features and increased levels of support CloudBolt provides will allow my team to spend more time focusing on the delivery of quality customer outcomes." He adds, "CloudBolt is going to help us move away from the manual processes we have in place and drive efficiencies through automation. This is better for staff, better for customers and better for business performance". With global economic headwinds and expertise scarcity, opportunities to do more with less at this magnitude are invaluable.
