messaging and collaboration, and a Company Hub that provides a focal point for the line of business apps. With Windows providing a consistent platform for all devices and systems, synching and sharing messages, schedules and data is simple. Tis is a big advantage for organisations as it means all users get the same experience. Tey will all implement policies and updates in the same way. If problems or issues arise, they will be the same for everyone and easier to address and resolve.
While Microsoft® Lumia devices are powerful, they are not costly, so instead of being compelled to purchase expensive devices for everyone, businesses can offer users a choice of affordable
options that look great and get the job done.
Microsoft® Lumia devices are manageable and secure too – they enable businesses to meet the expectations and standards of their own organisation and industry regulators, without losing any flexibility. Tey come with features that enable mobile device management and remote policy enforcement, so IT administrators can stay in full control. Microsoft® Lumia also supports mobile VPNs for secure connectivity from anywhere. Hardware-accelerated device encryption and remote lock and wipe features mean that data stored on Microsoft® Lumia devices is always safeguarded.
With Microsoft® Lumia, all users have access to the proven flexibility and broad functionality of Microsoft Office. Te IT administrator meanwhile, has a known and trusted environment in which they can manage users efficiently and control access effectively, without the time-consuming and expensive need for cross-platform integration.
Microsoft® Lumia devices are also cloud-ready, so if the customer has already migrated to Office 365 – or is planning to do so in the near future, Microsoft® Lumia is the perfect platform to take advantage of all the benefits of a more flexible and dynamic way of working. Other standard features, such as wireless charging and built-in cameras, make Microsoft® Lumia devices flexible and easy to manage for all users.
How does Lumia benefit you? The reseller’s perspective
For the B2B IT reseller, Microsoft® Lumia makes as much sense as it does for the customer. As it’s a Windows platform, it fits perfectly with your customers’ existing systems and enables you to both meet their needs and provide continuity of service. Rather than having to develop skills in a new platform, sales and technical staff can build on their existing capabilities and experience.
Tere is no need to integrate different environments – with all the complexities and support issues that will inevitably arise as a result. Te styling and power of Microsoft® Lumia devices make them much more desirable than your standard grey business phone from a user’s perspective, whilst their affordability and extensive management and security features

make it much easier – both for customer and for you – to make the investment case.
A single operating environment also means that there is only one supplier to whom resellers need turn for information and support – and a wealth of existing knowledge within the channel that you are able to draw upon when you need it. Additional training is readily available from Microsoft® accredited professional partners as well.
Customers will already be familiar and comfortable with the platform and applications, so they will find it easier to adapt and require less reassurance and support. Tis makes it easier for them to justify investment and minimise risk. Tis, along with Microsoft’s strong reputation and credibility in the business market, makes Microsoft® Lumia easier to sell.
Microsoft® is already a trusted and established channel- focused partner, so resellers will be able to make use of their existing relationships with Tech Data and other expert partners and take advantage of their existing Microsoft® accreditation status, and all the promotions, incentives and other benefits of the Microsoft® Partner Programme.
