Greetings from ALSO Expo

Onrego attended ALSO Expo in Finland couple of weeks ago and made dozens of new contacts. Let’s summarize the expo with a few pics.

ALSO Finland, the biggest distributor in Finland, had it’s traditional ALSO Expo on October 10, 2013 in Tampere, Finland. Because the target audience for the expo was Finnish IT resellers and Managed Service Providers, Onrego attended the expo with it’s own booth. We made dozens of new contacts with meeting requests so I’d say the event was very successful for us.

There was also a couple of presentations and one of them was by Jukka Kortesniemi from ALSO. Jukka had a presentation concerning cloud services and what to expect from them in a near future.

Onrego had also a chance to attend Microsoft’s own pre-party at Klubi before ALSO’s own party after the expo. I’m very grateful to Mr. Jarkko Lainio from Microsoft Finland as he invited me to join him on the stage with Microsoft’s Mr. Markku Pulkkinen and Mr. Lasse Gerdt and to talk about Onrego and Onrego Online System Center and how Onrego benefits from being a Microsoft Gold Partner.

Finally, Also Expo ended with a much expected party with food and beverige. Evening’s special guest star was Jenni Vartiainen, the most popular female artist in Finland at the moment. What a great event!

Also to Start Distributing Onrego Cloud Services

Also Finland and Onrego has signed a contract in which Also starts to distribute Onrego Cloud Services in Finland. Also is the biggest distributor in Finland with 60 % market share and almost 2 000 active resellers over the country. Onrego’s Cloud Services are now available as well as for resellers but also for Managed Service Providers (MSP’s).

Also and Onrego has released a Press Release (in Finnish) about the contract between the two companies. Also starts to distribute Onrego Cloud Services to its Finnish resellers and MSP’s. For Also, this means a new add-on to Also Cloud concept and to Onrego, ability to reach large number of potential resellers and MPS’s.

As for the start-up of Also’s and Onrego’s cooperation, I had a chance to shake hand with Also Finland’s Managing Director Mrs. Mervi Airaksinen!

What does this mean to resellers and Managed Service Providers?

Most of the information for the resellers and MSP’s can be found from Also Cloud website, but I want to write down couple of reasons why Also’s almost 2000 resellers and MSP’s will benefit from the cooperation.

We have been seeing movement towards cloud services lately. Many corporations has been telling us that they are planning on moving everything to the cloud. And they mean everything from Active Directory to management tools. Another ones are telling us that they are expecting that most of their datacenter virtual machine workloads will be moved to hosters and IaaS providers in a near future.

In the mean time, governments of USA, UK, Australia and EU are driving Cloud First policies to accelerate cloud adoption.

For resellers, to be able to get Onrego Cloud Services through Also Finland, means that they can deliver Microsoft System Center products faster and more agile than ever before. It also means that resellers can benefit from the business model of cloud service. That means continuous monthly revenue.

We have been talking to number of Managed Service Providers too and we have seen a trend. A trend in which MSP’s no longer want to implement new tools (such as management ones) and spend lots of euros in investments, that has a flat payback time.

Managed Service Providers can benefit from Onrego’s Online System Center in their service production and stop spending valuable time in developing and maintaining tools for workstation management, server and service monitoring and service management.

Please learn more about the offering for resellers and Managed Service Providers from the Also Cloud website.
