Sell Office 365 the easy way with Rhipe and Emersion.

Most Managed Service Providers (MSPs) sell Office 365 (O365). It usually takes a long time before each O365 subscription becomes profitable. This is because of the manual order processing involved in assigning O365 licences. Emersion’s integration with Rhipe means MSPs can start selling O365 at a profit from day 1.  

How long do your team currently spend processing O365 licences?

Did you know that you are losing money on every licence that your team spends over 3 minutes of their time managing each month^? Not only that, but you are also wasting your team’s most valuable resource – their time. For many MSPs  it can take up to a year before each O365 licence becomes profitable. Worse still – every time your business makes changes to that licence the clock resets! If you have customers with high staff turnover, this could mean you are always selling O365 at a loss. 

Start making a profit on every O365 licences you sell.

The O365 via Rhipe integration means that every O365 licence you sell is sold for a profit. When you do the maths, the average MSP will generate roughly $27,000 in profit. You can do this by taking into your account the:

• O365 Monthly Subscription Price – Microsoft Office 365 licences cost anywhere from $6.90 to $17.20. (Microsoft 2019)
• O365 Margin –  Most software vendors allow for a margin of between 10-15% of the recommended retail price (RRP) of O365.
• Average Number of Users per Contract – The average MSP contract has 30 users (Service Leadership 2018).
• Number of Clients per MSP – 71% of MSPs have 50 or more clients (Datto: How MSP are you).

This means that the average profit per O365 licence is $1.50. And that most MSPs would serve at least 1500 end users. That’s $2250 in profit every month! Or $27,000 profit every year!

Set custom sell prices for each of your customers

With the O365 via Rhipe integration, you can set higher subscription pricing than the default RRP.

This means that your profit margins can be further increased. You can set custom sell prices across your entire organisation, or just for selected customers.
