BlueCielo Benefits from GTM

By partnering with an industry leader such as Microsoft, BlueCielo was able to attract new prospects and drive more customers 'awareness. As a Go-To-Market Microsoft partner, BlueCielo benefited from social media coverage, PR activities, premium marketplace listings, advertising on Channel 9 and jointly produced collateral: the Meridan360 Portal datasheet. BlueCielo enlisted the help of Microsoft and its Go-To-Market services team to generate more exposure for Meridian360 Portal in order to communicate theeffectiveness and financial paybacks it offers owner operators and engineering contractors.  Built on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, BlueCielo Meridian360 Portal is a hybrid cloud solution that allows users to exchange data, collaborate with extended project teams and validate deliverables in the cloud. Meridian360 Portal is the only cloud-based portal that offers collaboration with contractors without direct access to internal master data and workflows.

"For many years Microsoft has been a key strategic partner for BlueCielo. Now, through our mutual Go-To-Market activity we were empowered to generate more awareness for Meridian360 Portal. Thanks to the Microsoft Go-to-Market services team, we were able to reach hundreds of unique visitors and tell them about Meridian360 Portal. We look forward to continuing our work with Microsoft to deliver and deploy industry leading software solutions," said Willem-Jan Scholten, CEO of BlueCielo.

Microsoft and BlueCielo have expressed their interest to increase further collaboration and work together on a new range of Go-To-Market initiatives in the near future.
