MSP Launches Self-Service Marketplace

To support organizations looking to manage their cloud offerings more efficiently, managed service provider Logicalis US launched an online marketplace, CloudCentralis.

The self-service platform enables Logicalis customers to manage their cloud services, beginning with Microsoft offerings including Microsoft 365 and Azure, with support for additional vendors to follow later this year.

Through CloudCentralis, users can monitor and optimize their cloud subscriptions all in one place to help meet and scale business needs with greater efficiency.

Available now, the web-based marketplace includes a self-service management portal that allows organizations to access and review licensing availability, budgets and real-time usage reporting, ensuring full transparency in their cloud programs.

Dashboards are customizable based on an individual user’s role, and authority and can be personalized to each company.

Logicalis’s proven professional and managed services expertise will support the deployment and management of services in CloudCentralis.

“Through CloudCentralis, we are providing an entirely new approach to cloud management,” said Mike Stipe, VP of Logicalis U.S.’s Microsoft practice. “We recognized a need to bring both ease-of-use and transparency to the management of cloud technology services, and with CloudCentralis, we can achieve that.

“As a Microsoft licensing partner, we are particularly excited to launch this new marketplace with industry-leading services such as Microsoft 365 and Azure,” Stipe said. “It’s a game changer for Logicalis and our customers.”

Microsoft is the initial vendor available through CloudCentralis, underscoring the two companies’ longstanding partnership. As an Azure-expert MSP and Gold Certified Partner, Logicalis can provide global expertise for Azure-based lifecycles, as well as specialized knowledge across other Microsoft business units.

With CloudCentralis, Logicalis combines best-in-class managed and professional services with easy-to-use program management.

“Partners play a key role in Microsoft’s vision for supporting companies on their journey to the cloud. Logicalis continues to demonstrate thought leadership and invest in technology that accelerates digital transformation,” said Nina Harding, corporate VP for Microsoft US Global Partner Solutions. “It’s exciting to see Logicalis drive innovation that makes it easy for companies to adopt Microsoft technologies.”

CloudCentralis is available for Microsoft offerings, with plans to expand the marketplace to additional vendors later this year, and offer organizations a comprehensive cloud management system. To learn more, visit: https://www.us.logicalis.com/cloudcentralis
