To keep a customer, demands as much skill as to win one.

What is Microsoft Services?

The ability to unpack an opportunity in the tech world is becoming more complex. In many instances it will require a pre-sales discussion meaning that the discussions are technical in nature. Services are becoming an important element for all commercial activities. Partners that are able to offer services as part of their offerings leads to greater customer confidence when selecting which partner to be your provider of choice.

At First Distribution, we understand the costs involved in net-customer acquisition. Investment in critical certification, skills and resources requires time. For this reason we are supporting the partner ecosystem. This support spans across partners that are still early on their cloud journey from selling technology, licensing and workloads through hyperscalers.

Let us assist you with assessments, scoping, architecture, deployments, configurations and migrations.

The First Distribution Microsoft Technical Team is here to support every step of the customer journey as you onboard to the cloud. Our Microsoft Services are offered across the Microsoft CSP Program and portfolios including Modern Work, Security and Azure.
