To help its IT provider customers accelerate adoption of cloud solutions and identify new cloud opportunities, Clearwater, Fla.-based Tech Data Corporation has introduced a new cloud-focused education and enablement program through its TDCloud business unit.
Offered as part of TDCloud Academy, the program provides customized education tracks for channel pros focused on launching, expanding, and maximizing their cloud businesses. TDCloud Academy is Tech Data’s tiered cloud education program for its reseller and MSP customers.
Consisting of six modules in each track, the enablement program includes value-added training, eLearning, and consulting. The three education tracks are:
- Launch Your Cloud Business: Designed for solution providers seeking to build cloud architecture within their business, this education track covers the value of cloud, business drivers, value propositions, and how to work with TDCloud to launch a cloud business.
- Expand Your Cloud Business: Tailored to solution providers with recurring cloud sales who want to take their cloud business to the next level, these education†modules focus on creating a cloud culture, aligning people and processes, marketing, and networking.
- Maximize Your Cloud Business:†For channel pros interested in moving to a cloud-focused business model, this track focuses on transitioning to cloud, leading with cloud, creating complete cloud business modules, and strategic end-customer planning.
Tech Data will evaluate and identify the right education track for solution providers through a customized partner evaluation tool, a self-scoring system that analyzes knowledge, business infrastructure, and attitudes toward cloud computing. †
The TDCloud business unit consists of a team of cloud experts dedicated to supporting their channel of solution providers through education, enablement, and adoption of cloud and subscription-based services. TDCloud is powered by Tech Data’s StreamOne platform, an automated buying, selling, provisioning, and billing system for cloud and subscription-based services.†
