HPE SLMS Hosting Launches New Resource Community For IT Service Providers

HPE “SPaRC” Offers Insight, Technology Education & Partner Readiness for Hosted Cloud Services

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Software Licensing and Management Solutions (SLMS) Hosting, a B2B consultative and sales division offering sales and support of hosted licensing and cloud services to IT service providers, announced recently a new web-based hosting Solution Provider Resource Community (SPaRC), available at www.hpesparc.com. The resource community is designed to help IT service providers accelerate business growth in cloud services through guidance, expertise and marketing resources from the HPE SLMS Hosting team.

According to IDC research, worldwide spending on public cloud services will grow at a 19.4% CAGR, from nearly $70B in 2015 to more than $141B by 2019. To help IT service providers realize business growth in public, private and hybrid cloud demand by end-user clients, the new HPE SPaRC will provide a community environment focused on three primary offerings:

• Information on critical programs leveraged by service providers in their mission to grow their cloud services business, including Microsoft Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA); Citrix Service Provider (CSP); and Microsoft Cloud Solutions Provider (CSP).
• Access to a team of full-service software licensing specialists, certified and fluent in all Microsoft and Citrix licensing programs and available to provide ongoing business consultation as well as assist with issues, renewals and compliance.
• Readiness and enablement strategies to help service providers grow their business opportunities in specific or emerging markets, including SMB.

“Organizations of nearly every size, from enterprise-wide to the small-and-midsize level have shifted their business strategies to a cloud-first mentality that leverages software-as-a-service,” said Troy Nick, Senior Business Manager for HPE SLMS. “As a result, IT service providers will increasingly rely on trusted partners like HPE SLMS Hosting to obtain the right consultative guidance necessary to build complete SaaS solutions and capitalize on the growth of end-user cloud services demand. We’re particularly excited about the community that HPE SPaRC will foster, as well as the opportunity for service provider business growth as a result.”

As part of HPE SPaRC, IT service providers will have access to a wealth of channel-focused educational content that offers insight into the latest industry trends, vertical market technology and solutions deployments, end-customer case studies and information on upcoming events.
