solutions for managed services providers
expanding your services and reducing your risk
As a managed service provider you understand the value of recurring revenue models and that managed services offer higher margin, and stronger customer relationships. ThinkGrid can provide a solution that integrates with your current service offerings, adding new products such as Virtual Desktop, Infrastructure as a Service and SaaS. Our worldwide data centres also offer the opportunity to migrate your own data centre work load as they are, to the cloud reducing your CapEx and risk.
"We used the ThinkGrid platform to jump ahead of the competition and start offering fully branded cloud-based services in under 6 weeks."

Cloud services offer a complimentary opportunity for managed service providers who already run hosted services as well as the support and management for their customers. Managing your own data centre can be expensive and capital intensive, especially if looking to continually develop new products as well as seek multi-tenancy to drive up margin
ThinkGrid offers a marriage of both, giving you a flexible platform you can use to integrate with your existing business - tying up customer management, provisioning, billing and service delivery. Also you have access to ThinkGrid’s worldwide data centres allowing you to provision services external to your own data centre but still integrate them, and look at migrating your own workloads to a more competitive cost structure.

Services Available
ThinkGrid offers a number of services that can be implemented individually to compliment your existing product set, or bundled and marketing to fit in with your product scope. The full list of services can be provisioned on demand, and initiated and managed via our enterprise level interfaces or API.
Billing and Customer Management
Create a single consolidated invoice aggregating many different services. Construct plans, set resource limits and upgrade limits. Allow customers to add resources to a base plan. Define your own resources and upgrade paths. Bill any type of product or service and set work flows to accept online orders and invoice services that are delivered manually (e.g. professional services). Receive automated payments and input manual payments. Apply payments to customer invoices automatically or manually or integrate with your own existing platform.
Build of Buy
ThinkGrid have focused on providing a competitive platform both in terms of cost, functionality and services. We firmly believe that the capital hardware cost, data centre cost, software, additional work force and time are more than matched by a platform that provides all of the services within weeks, as well as the back office and automation. Find out more about the solution stack and how it compares with on-premise alternatives.
Integration
Utilising the API or interfaces, providers have been able to deliver tactical services such as virtual server infrastructure, hosted Exchange and hosted desktops and have integrated them into their existing control panels and interfaces. This gives our partners a chance to test the market without the capital investment or disruptive process changes, whilst keeping the customer and their value.
Private Cloud
For larger entities looking to utilise the management and provisioning engines but who would like to deploy services in their own data centres, our private cloud option is perfect.
