One of Nimble’s key benefits of being a Microsoft Commercial Marketplace pilot partner is the significant global reseller foundation and momentum already created.

Nimble’s Business Case for Microsoft Partners is Simple

In order to capture a larger share of the $15.6 billion cloud computing market, Microsoft has become a strong advocate and enabler of partner-to-partner collaborations that give customers more flexibility and choice. To meet this market reality, Microsoft is empowering its partner ecosystem to earn incremental licensing and services revenue by combining its first-party offerings with third-party business solution offerings to help drive adoption and retention of Office 365, Azure, Dynamics 365, and the Power Apps family of products.

“The close relationship Nimble has with Microsoft makes it very easy for Tech Data to engage and take those products to market,” said Stacy Nethercoat, Tech Data Vice President of Americas Cloud Computing.

In essence, Nimble enables growing business teams who may not be ready to adopt Microsoft Dynamics to grasp the CRM basics. Nimble can be used as a primary CRM, or in conjunction with Dynamics CRM to bi-directionally sync Office 365 and Dynamics contacts, allowing you to use those shared contacts to prospect smarter — everywhere you work.

“We started selling Dynamics 365 early on, and noticed that some SMBs didn’t have the processes in place yet to realize its full value,” said Rosalyn Arntzen, President and CEO of Amaxra. “These customers needed a simpler CRM solution that also integrates with Office 365, and we found that with Nimble. Nimble 5.0 works beautifully on its own, introduces customers to the power of CRM, and gently eases them into Dynamics 365.”

Nimble’s Solution Partner Program Empowers Resellers to Grow

Several of the world’s leading Microsoft distribution partners have joined Nimble’s fast-growing Solution Partner Program and are helping resellers transform their practice and sell business solution bundles to Office 365 users; including Sherweb, Giacom, Tech Data Corporations, Velosio, and AppSmart.
