Business Assessment Checklist
If you are like
most IT solutions providers, you probably conduct some form of requirements
analysis or needs assessment when you engage with a new customer or prospect.
Why? Because IT services can cover a very broad spectrum of business solutions and
every customer has a different set of needs and priorities for addressing them.
An assessment is a structured way to
size up those needs and priorities so you and the customer both clearly
understand the value of the services that you will provide to them.
At MSPexcellence
we take the same approach whenever we engage with a client that wants to
establish or grow a Cloud Solutions Provider business. We have created a
structured approach for assessing the client’s readiness to build a high-growth
CSP business in the form of a checklist that identifies the areas that require
additional focus in order to achieve the highest possible level of success.
Our Cloud Business Assessment Checklist covers
7 key elements for planning and managing a successful cloud solutions business.
The 7 categories are formulated as high-level questions and each question is a category of checklist items that should be part of every profitable and scalable
cloud solutions business.
Part 1: Do you have a well-defined target market,
customer profile & value proposition?
Part 2: Do you have a strategically priced &
packaged IT service portfolio?
Part 3: Do you have a comprehensive sales channel
model?
Part 4: Do you have a comprehensive revenue &
profitability model?
Part 5: Do you have a metrics-based lead generation
plan & budget?
Part 6: Do you have a complete set of sales
enablement tools & materials?
Part 7: Do you have the right performance
management metrics & process?

Jeff Ragusa,
Google Apps SMB Channel Lead
As a Google Apps Premier
SMB Reseller, our business is already strong and growing. So, too, is the
market for cloud-based solutions and services. The CSP Program helps us
look beyond our current business model, focusing on the future in a more
structured and strategic way.
The program helps us evaluate, plan, and
expand our services with a greater understanding of the impact on our costs,
our operations, and our bottom line. Rather than trial and error, the MSPexcellence
CSP Program gives us information we are using for more timely, more accurate,
and more beneficial decisions.
