Frequently enough, news crosses our desks regarding freshly inked partnerships two (or even three) companies sign off on. In tech, this is expected. Companies action such deals in order to see a general exercise through, to complete a specific project (be it a short-term or long-term one), or they enter a one-year or two-year deal to collaborate on a solution based on shifts in a niche market (or in a whole industry, at large).

A five-year deal, however, is a weightier commitment. And recently, that’s exactly what was signed by Ingram Micro (News - Alert) and C-Facts.

Ingram Micro is a California-based technologies distributer with a global infrastructure that amplifies thousands of vendor, reseller and retailer partners by customizing and delivering highly targeted technological services for industry verticals, commercial needs, and B2B customers.

C-Facts is a Netherlands-headquartered cloud company that offers a single pane of glass for cloud usage that helps its customers get a handle on their data and empower their stakeholders. More than a hands-off IT tool, C-Facts’ out-of-the-box capabilities (like their Management-Control-Center-as-a-Service) flexibly future-proof SaaS (News - Alert) solutions and simplify the cloud cost insights.

Together, Ingram Micro and C-Facts just make sense. The mutual benefits at play here range from C-Facts providing user-friendly dashboards to Ingram Micro’s customers and official Cloud Partners, Ingram Micro enabling C-Facts’ teams to increase value for their end-customers, and better overall control of cloud expenses and optimized cloud usages. Ingram Micro can also help C-Facts boost its international sales, and C-Facts is slated to provide its own cloud optimization model uniquely for Ingram Micro partners later in 2023.)

“My team speaks the same language as Ingram Micro’s,” said Martijn van Zoeren, CEO of C-Facts. “Side by side, we’re very well positioned to help MSPs and CSPs optimize their arrays of cloud services while tremendously lowering costs. Things are made easier. I love that part of our job!”
