Cloud Aggregator Platform Provider
Transact IBM as-a-Service Offerings as a Cloud Aggregator with One of The Few Globally Approved IBM Platform Providers
IBM Cloud Marketplace Reseller (CMR):
an IBM indirect XaaS reseller
IBM Cloud Aggregator (CA):
an IBM XaaS distributor
Cloud Aggregator Platform Provider:
a partner whose marketplace meets IBM business requirements
To transact IBM XaaS as Cloud Marketplace Resellers (CMR), organizations need to partner with an IBM Cloud Aggregator (CA). The Cloud Aggregators provide Go-To-Market support and a cloud marketplace for resellers to operate their IBM as-a-service businesses on. Cloud Aggregators can leverage their own in-house developed cloud marketplaces as part of their CA offering (if it covers IBM marketplace requirements) or partner with a Cloud Aggregator Platform Provider (as AppXite) to enable IBM XaaS sales for their channels.
Kickstarts your IBM XaaS Success
• Sell IBM cloud software with lightning speed and self-service. Enjoy the shorter sales cycles and software trials as well as the attractive margins.
• By partnering CMR with Cloud Aggregators, IBM ensures that all of its sellers will have from day one a web-based platform to sell, bill and provision subscriptions.
• IBM digitally enables top-performing software solutions so they can be onboarded on IBM Partner Marketplaces, and to be sold and bundled with other SaaS solutions.
• IBM takes care of the end-user support instead of the Cloud Marketplace Resellers or Cloud Aggregators.
Overcome the Competition with AppXite as Your Platform Provider
With the CA programs, IBM spotlights modern IBM partners with cloud experience, a grasp on digital marketing, and the capability to assist resellers with their SaaS growth. Successful CAs are able to transform their value-added services and deliver a meaningful impact on resellers’ IT channels, ultimately shaping their differentiator's position.

Advantages of Becoming an IBM CMR with a CA support
Dealing with cloud offerings instead of on-premise products means that you transact best-priced IBM software with attractive discounts and margins and give customers the highest flexibility in their choices. CMRs can use the full capabilities of a platform like ours and a partner ecosystem: we can enable your business by acting as your CA or by connecting you with a more suitable Cloud Aggregator from our ecosystem.
Own customers
IBM’s distribution model prioritizes customer ownership. Since this model eliminates direct contact between IBM and end-customers, sellers solidly own the customer data.
Grow revenue
Increase value proposition leveraging cloud aggregator’s support and reselling or bundling IBM offerings for attractive margins with other vendor’s relevant solutions.
Accelerate GTM
IBM Reseller model requires no sales certification or up-front investment which rapidly speeds up the Go-To-Market process & allow sellers to focus on doing business.
Collect incentives
Commit to a certain amount of subscriptions sold to end-customers to collect a retail discount from IBM in the form of a credit - the longer the term, the higher the discount.
