In recent years there have been some pretty fundamental changes to the market that resellers work within and the challenges they face on a day to day basis. A number of factors have been at play, we’ll have a look at these shortly, but the end result is a shift from a traditional up front model to a more service and solution based model.
We’re all really familiar with the up front model. Resellers buy hardware from their distributor, add their margin percentage, and pass the cost on to their customers. In this model the customer typically has to CAPEX the costs, and then write off the assets over several years. This model underpins the 5 year hardware refresh that resellers used to often rely on.
Over time, the model’s evolved. In a service or solution model, the reseller installs a whole solution, and overlays a service element to that solution. Rather than paying for everything in year one at the point of install, the reseller charges a regular management fee or subscription. Having annual, quarterly or monthly fees can then be paid for with OPEX budgets.
So how big is the change….?
Well according to Gartner, in 2016, over 50% of IT implementations will follow a service of subscription based model. And they’re predicting that by 2020 that number will have risen to 80%.
Now, obviously not all IT implementations include networking, so we can reduce these numbers slightly when we’re looking at Networking implementations. But if I reflect on all the resellers I’ve met and spoken to this year, then I think this is certainly a very clear trend in the market.
So what’s caused the shift from up front to service and solution led….?
1 - TRUST IN THE MODEL AT HOME
The days of buying DVDs are behind us
Who isn’t familiar with monthly fee services
Such as Spotify, Netflix, Amazon Video, Dropbox
Well first of all, we’re all increasingly familiar with the model of paying regular subscriptions. For me personally, the days of buying DVDs, CDs etc are behind me. I pay monthly for Spotify, Netflix, Amazon and Dropbox. So as we’re doing that at home, there’s an increasing familiarity and trust on the model, and naturally its shifting into more and more business applications.
2 - ALREADY USED IN THE WORKPLACE
Business are increasing their adoption of Cloud in business applications
Applications have gone to the Cloud. e.g. Office 365, Salesforce, Storage
There’s an increased familiarity with, and confidence in, the Cloud
For a few years, businesses have had quite a few applications in the cloud under the subscription model. Think Office 365, Salesforce, and Storage. But it’s really only been in the last few years, as trust in the cloud has developed, that businesses and resellers have put networking into the cloud.
But it’s more than just familiarity and trust….
3 - TO MATCH CLIENT BUDGETS
Public organisations have always had annual budgets
Up front model has always been a challenge
So it makes sense to match budgets
A key driver in the shift is how the cloud and the subscription model can work better with the budgets of resellers customers. Many organisations, have annual budgets. So if your annual budget is €2000, finding €7000 for an up front purchase of a new network can really be a challenge. The subscription model means the costs can be spread, to a degree, to broadly be in line with budgets. In reality this means lower year 1 costs, and then regular fees thereafter. So it makes sense that the subscription model is popular as it matches customer budgets much better.
4 - THE INCREASING VISIBILITY OF RETAIL
Online price ≠ price resellers charge
“I can buy product X is online for €99.99 …. Why are you charging me €119.99?”
With a service model, it’s less about the hardware
The last driver, and one that most resellers will probably experience on a daily basis, is the increasing visibility of prices online. There are only so many times that a reseller can explain the value they’re adding and why the product costs more than the customer can buy it on Amazon, Alza, or some other etailer. With the service model, it’s less about the price of the product and more about the whole service being offered.
But if these are the drivers, what business opportunities and whatare there for resellers?
Most companies in channel who resell products make most of their revenue on what they do after they sell a product.
So the reality is that more money can be made on selling an add on service, than by adding a margin percentage to a piece of hardware.
The crux of the issue here, is that Cloud, and Cloud networking can help VARS move from being Product and Price led, to Solution and Service led.
Unfortunately that isn’t a shift that can be made overnight, it’s more of a progression…..
… and there’s no ‘silver bullet’ for defining your cloud service strategy and successfully transforming into a Service and Solution Provider. Every organization is unique in terms of its capabilities, resources, regional market and competitive advantage, so the journey is unique to every reseller.
Looking at the diagram here, moving from the left to right, we can see three distinct business models moving from up front to service, and then to Service and solution and the characteristics of those models. The part I want to highlight is how as we move across the budgets move increasingly from a CAPEX to OPEX model.
Now this webinar is pan Europe, so there are different rules, budgets etc for every region, but I want to just touch on what CAPEX and OPEX are, and when they’re used….
As I’ve said, Cloud networking, and Nebula enables resellers to move from a CAPEX model to a services based OPEX model. So it’s important to understand the difference between the two.
Most businesses have a CAPEX budget – used to buy assets, usually with a life beyond the current year. And an OPEX budget – which is used to meet the ongoing costs to run a business.
The CAPEX budget is always either a lump sum, or financed, incurring additional charges. Whereas, OPEX is always a regular fee (usually monthly quarterly or annually).
Nebula, and the Cloud Networking subscription model, open up a whole new revenue opportunity. Instead of just addressing the CAPEX budgets, we can now also open up customers OPEX budgets.
Now we’ll have a look specifically at Nebula, how it’s licensed and how it can be levered.

Every piece of Nebula hardware that’s bought, comes bundled with a 1 year license. That’s simple at the point of purchase, but it can cause a problem when additional hardware is added after the initial purchase. Resellers don’t want to have to manage multiple renewal dates, so we use simple co-termination to ensure there’s one renewal date for every organisation. In reality this means that for every organisation, there’s that single renewal date, and with the simple credit based licenses, resellers can choose a specific date in the future that they want to renew.
In reality, that might mean that if a reseller has a contract to deliver managed services until January 28th 2019, they can easily choose that date, see the cost and set the service up.
You purchase 10 Nebula Access Points (NAPs) each NAP comes with a 1-year license.
After 6 months you purchase 20 additional Nebula Access Points (NAPs) each NAP comes with a 1-year license.
You now have two different expiration dates on the two sets of Access Points you purchased, as you add more this will begin to get more complex to handle and harder to manage with end-clients.
With Nebula the licenses are automatically adjusted to give you the same co-termination date within each Organization. This helps simplify the management of licensing and the problems often associated with renewable licensing.
From 1st April until 30th June 2017, you can buy a Nebula Cloud AP** with a one year license, for up to 22% off!Even better though, if you register your Nebula AP to an organisation before June 30th 2017, your one year Nebula license will automatically get extended with an EXTRA two year license for FREE! That means a massive 39% saving!
