Microsoft Partners need for Infrastructure and Processes
KPCS is a leading system integrator for Microsoft cloud solutions and infrastructure. They offer cloud services in Czech Republic, United Kingdom and United States.
Customer Story
KPCS became a Direct Microsoft Cloud Service Provider (CSP) in 2018 and was challenged by the manual admistritive and accounting effort required to meet Microsoft’s infrastructure requirements.
Although KPCS had consolidated many of its own systems into Microsoft Dynamics CRM but much of its billing and invoicing was still managed through spreedsheets. The company was missing the infrastructure processes and system to accurately and efficiently manage its cloud solution business, and needed system that could manage everything so they could spend more time customer satisfaction instead of administrative tasks.
Chosen Solution
KPCS ultimately chose Work 365 to solve infrastructure and accounting issues based on the following factors:
- Integration with Microsoft Partner Center
- Customer Self-Service Portal
- Work 365 does not require any customization to support a CSP’s unique business model
Implementation
KPCS started with a Work 365 trial but quickly upgraded to a full product onboarding when the company saw how well the system integrated with Microsoft’s Partner Center.
Work 365 team helped identify how automated workflows could be integrated into KPCS’s business process and provided advice on potential pain points such as accepting payments in multiple currencies and solidifying the customer onboarding process.
