In its short press release, Outsourcery credits a large part of its success to its growing momentum in reselling Microsoft Office 365, but another part of that is its larger data center growth and focus on becoming a more channel-friendly organization.

Here’s Piers Linney, Co-CEO of Outsourcery with more detail from a prepared statement:

As a refresher, the Cloud Champions club is only open to those Microsoft partners who excel at promoting the aforementioned Office 365 suite or the Microsoft Windows Azure PaaS cloud. The initial barrier to entry at the lowest level — at least the most recently we’ve heard — is three customers and 25 recurring revenue seats. It’s not hard, but it’s designed to get partners engaged with Microsoft’s burgeoning cloud initiatives. And in return, these partners get business guidance and lines of contact with Microsoft itself.

Needless to say, Microsoft’s cloud momentum is a hot topic as it looks to make Office 365 a cornerstone of its partner program. Stay tuned to TalkinCloud for more updates.
