Ingram Micro adds new Microsoft integration to cloud marketplace

The launch of Microsoft Online Management Extension enables MSPs to expand their value-added services portfolio

Ingram Micro Cloud has announced the worldwide integration of Microsoft Online Management Extension (MOME) on the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace powered by CloudBlue technology.

Using CloudBlue Commerce, Ingram claims this capability provides an automated management solution that enables Microsoft partners to both sell and manage services in a single location.

MOME utilises data from Microsoft Customer AAD Tenants to provide new customer management, domain management, and security score services that support MSPs.

The solution's customer management feature brings Microsoft Partner Center functionality into the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace, allowing resellers direct access to customer accounts.

It will also offer domain management to reduce the demand on process, through MOME's automated domain registration and management features.

Lastly, MOME also delivers the ability to assess the Secure Scores, assigned by Microsoft to the customer accounts, by verifying the customer's adherence to the Microsoft Security Best Practices.

"The MOME integration is a continuation of a long-term Ingram Micro Cloud strategy to help our partners grow faster and be more profitable," said Ingram Micro Cloud executive director of cloud services, US, John Dusett.

"Working closely with Microsoft, and actively listening to our channel partners, this Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace enhancement delivers the most efficient cross-platform process and ‘single pane of glass' workflow.

"We're excited to share more direct management paths for our Microsoft partners as we continue adding capabilities and services our partners can leverage to grow faster."
