In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, cloud marketplaces are emerging as the future nexus where buyers and sellers converge. Analysts highlight these platforms as transformative, offering unparalleled convenience and efficiency. By streamlining the procurement process, cloud marketplaces enable businesses to easily access, compare, and purchase a wide array of cloud services and solutions. This shift not only accelerates innovation but also democratizes access to innovative technology, paving the way for a more interconnected and dynamic global economy.
Don’t Believe Us? Believe What the Market is Saying
By 2025, Gartner projects that 80% of B2B sales interactions between suppliers and buyers will occur in digital channels, underscoring the shift towards cloud marketplaces. Supporting this trend, a survey by Tackle.io reveal that 44% of sellers expect to generate more than 10% of their revenue through a cloud marketplace within the next year. Additionally, Canalys forecasts that cloud marketplace purchases will soar to over US$50 billion by 2025, reflecting an impressive 84% CAGR. These compelling statistics highlight the significant momentum and growing reliance on digital platforms for B2B transactions.
Azure Marketplace “Multiparty Private Offer” (MPO)
Microsoft’s MPO in the Azure Marketplace simplifies the procurement process for businesses by leveraging Microsoft’s purchasing power and vendor partnerships. Partners can negotiate favourable terms with thousands of ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) offering SaaS, Container, or Virtual Machine solutions on Azure. These custom terms and pricing are applied directly to your Microsoft bill, whether purchased directly from Microsoft or through a CSP (Cloud Service Providers) agreement.
With over 4 million monthly active cloud users and 50,000 ISV (Independent Software Vendor) solutions, the Microsoft commercial marketplace enables transactions in 141 geographies, 52 tax-managed countries, and 17 currencies. Partners manage the lowest possible fee structure and ensure that MPO transactions decrement your MACC (Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment) by 100% of the invoiced software value, with no limits on the commitment amount you can retire. This provides enterprise-class software access with custom terms, all managed seamlessly within minutes.
