“I’m excited to play a key role in RapidScale’s continued efforts to drive success for our partners,” he said. “I plan on cultivating valuable partnerships throughout my region by equipping my partners with the tools and resources they need to identify cloud opportunities and grow their businesses.”

Demand for Cloud Solutions

“The demand for cloud is higher than ever before and as local businesses in my region look to take on a more cloud-based approach to their IT strategy, they are going to turn to our partners,” he said. “With RapidScale, I’m able to lead our partners in providing innovative cloud solutions for their clients.”

In the past few months, RapidScale has invested in its sales organization by hiring talent to support partners nationally.

In December, RapidScale unveiled its managed device-as-a-service (MDaaS) solution. It offers businesses the latest devices such as laptops, Chromebooks and tablets for a monthly price over a fixed three-year term. You can couple MDaaS with other RapidScale cloud solutions including Microsoft 365, Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS), and SD-WAN. That provides remote workers the collaboration tools to work anytime, anywhere and on any device, the company said.
