Ingram improves Odin cloud orchestration for partners

Ingram Micro has upgraded its Odin Service Automation platform for channel cloud players.

Odin Service Automation is a cloud orchestration platform that streamlines end-to-end cloud commerce management. It acquired the technology last year.

With the new release of Odin, service providers can now take advantage of a more intuitive, brand-new customer control panel, enhanced performance and scalability, and new SDKs (software development kits) for payment plug-ins and domains, said Ingram.

In addition, service providers can quickly bring new services to market by leveraging a complete catalogue of platform-ready services, including Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) programme services.

They can also maximise revenue by upselling and cross-selling integrated cloud solutions through multi-sales channels and resellers.

Nimesh Dave, executive vice president, global cloud, Ingram Micro, said: “Our clear direction and close partnership with Microsoft has accelerated our strategy, which is well aligned with rapidly growing market demand.

“We look forward to expanding our offerings to drive further business transformation for the Microsoft partner community.”
