Atea Announces Reselling of Microsoft Office 365

Atea today announced that it will sell Microsoft Office 365 as a part of its existing cloud offerings to customers. Atea will be Microsoft Syndication Partner, meaning that Atea will take care of all handlings connected to Microsoft Office 365 from consulting, delivery, installation, support and invoicing. Together with Microsoft, Atea has established a strategic relationship and will offer Office 365 to the market as the first Microsoft Large Account Reseller.

“It is very important that we are able to supply our customers with totally integrated cloud solutions, so I am very pleased that Atea is trusted to sell Office 365 solutions, and also use these attractive services to transform customers into the cloud with all the benefits this will give them,” says Claus Hougesen, CEO and President in the Atea Group.

Office 365 will give primarily small and medium business customers the direct benefits of having 24/7 access and availability to the latest Microsoft productivity technologies as well as storage, archive and backup features. It can be accessed from virtually anywhere and from different devices – all in one place and one package. The price of Office 365 is very attractive to small and medium businesses and will likely motivate many customers to move into the cloud.

Atea will also offer strong tools through the new Atea 365 concept to ensure a painless transformation for the customers – from the purchasing, the migration from existing systems and finally to the integration and installation of the solutions. The Atea 365 concepts will include tools such as migrations and several bundles with other products and services etc.

Furthermore Atea will provide a 24/7 Premium Hotline Support - free of charge for all users – to be included in its Office 365 offerings.

“Office 365 is the next generation cloud productivity service from Microsoft. It brings together the best productivity solutions in the market,” said Marco Limena, VP, Business Services, Operator Channel at Microsoft. “Working with Atea, customers will benefit from receiving Office 365 from a provider that can help maximize the benefits of working in the cloud. We are excited that Atea is ready to deliver this new service.”

“Our customers come to us for innovative, high quality solutions which offer the most up-to-date features and best ROI. By working with Microsoft and being a Microsoft Syndication Partner, we feel confident that Office 365 will provide the users with enhanced functionality and significant value,” says Claus Hougesen.
