Provider of cloud-enabled Wi-Fi networks Xirrus has rolled out an enhanced MSP partner programme featuring CommandCenter, a new control function that simplifies the ability of MSPs to offer Wi-Fi-as-a-Service (WaaS) to their customers.
CommandCenter, included free of charge with the Xirrus Management System for MSPs, simplifies and speeds up the activation and provisioning process for new customer installations to maximise revenue generation and reduce deployment cost and overhead, claimed the firm.
MSPs can create customer accounts instantly without the need to stage customer networks prior to provisioning. This reduces time to deployment and inventory levels.
MarketsandMarkets forecasts the managed services market will grow from $107 billion in 2014 to $193 billion by 2019, which creates significant opportunities for MSPs to acquire new customers, expand the markets they service and increase revenue.
"Cloud-managed IT and enterprise-wide mobility ushers in a new set of challenges for businesses who need to design, deploy and manage fast, reliable Wi-Fi networks. More than ever, businesses rely on MSPs to support their mobility needs with Wi-Fi-as-a-Service," said Jillian Mansolf, chief marketing officer and vice president, channel sales at at Xirrus.
"CommandCenter is designed specifically to deliver next generation Wi-Fi services with speed, security and flexibility. This ultimately enables MSPs to increase revenue streams without the need to add significant resources."
