Available exclusively through BitTitan–s end-to-end cloud services enablement platform, MSPComplete, the Azure Starter Kit offers tools and sales education to help partners sell, onboard and service Microsoft Azure. Without the need for special training or expertise, IT service providers can add the popular cloud platform to their list of offerings and tap into new recurring revenue opportunities.
The Azure Starter Kit focuses on Azure use cases that address major business challenges among SMBs and enterprises and are easy for partners to sell. Opportunities include the end of life and end of support of SQL Server 2008 and SQL Server 2005 in April 2016. Tens of millions of SQL databases and millions of customers are affected.

“Azure is a multi-million dollar opportunity for MSPs,” said Jeff Tinea, Program Manager at BitTitan. “We work with thousands of partners today who have successful Office 365 practices. Those partners are looking to adopt a multi-cloud business model and want to sell Azure, but aren–t sure how to get started. This is the answer.”
