Valued resellers experience Cloud solutions at Microsoft Technology Centre in Singapore

Microsoft recently hosted its top Sri Lankan OEM resellers at the newly established Microsoft Technology Centre (MTC) in Singapore. 

The centre, the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, is a combined Transparency Centre and Cybersecurity Centre, home to Microsoft’s latest technologies, modern retail and a security hub for countries under the APAC alliance. The centre, one of 40 global centres, aims to ensure technology investments are justified through new business ventures, enabling productivity amongst employees and introducing new platforms for customer engagement. 

“The rapid rate at which technology is advancing, sometimes means that we are unable to keep up. Hosting some of our valued resellers gave us a chance to showcase the latest technologies offered by Microsoft to transform businesses to succeed in a mobile-first, cloud-first world,” said Pubudu Basnayake, OEM Director of Southeast Asia New Markets. 

MTC displays Microsoft’s cutting edge technology including a range of IoT (Internet of Things) devices, Power Business Intelligence (BI) to Azure for commercial use and modern retail and Windows for the everyday consumer. The MTC solution experts provided the resellers with guided interactive and immersive experiences on how they can advise customers to rapidly find solutions for technology challenges. 

“The reseller briefing examines current IT environment and business objectives to find the most productive solution to the challenges. These solutions are envisioned through Microsoft solutions in action, through powerful demos and scenarios customised to meet business needs. The resellers had an opportunity to witness mutual discovery, tailored product and technology drill-downs, and expert presentations. Delivery of clear and actionable solutions of how Microsoft resellers can help organisations achieve business goals was the main target of the visit,” said Marc Hopstein, Director for APAC Mobile Communications Business at Microsoft Singapore. 

This was the first contingent of local OEM resellers from Sri Lanka to visit the Microsoft Technology Centre in Singapore.  Microsoft hopes to continue reseller visits to the centre to ensure that resellers are well equipped to provide the best solutions for local customers.
