Challenge

Acronis sought to significantly scale and grow its new Cloud Partner Program that includes secure end-to-end automated service delivery and customer management. While Acronis had a range of solutions available to partners, its billing and provisioning processes were manual and error-prone. The company wanted to reduce operational costs with the hopes of minimizing the complexity of its multi-platform system and increasing its scalability.

Solution

Cloud Premium allows Acronis to integrate the platform with key business systems, such as CRM and marketing automation, to provide a complete business solution for its channel partners. Through the Cloud Premium platform, Acronis provides partners with a management panel where they can self-serve 90% of the tasks they need to accomplish. The services can be hosted by the channel partner or deployed in a public cloud environment such as Microsoft Azure.

Results

  • Able to integrate its full suite solution with Cloud Premium in just three months
  • Partner recruitment up fourfold in each of the past two years – without adding new resources
  • Growth increase of 400% year-over-year
  • Acronis Cloud Partner Program scalable to tens of thousands of service providers
  • First to market with integrated solution suite

"It took us just three months to tightly integrate the full suite of Acronis solutions with the Cloud Premium platform. As a result, we were able to launch the Acronis Cloud Partner Program, which has the capability to scale to tens of thousands of service providers.”
