The ASCII Group has announced a new collaboration that will benefit its Managed Service Provider members in the U.S. They will gain access to items on Amazon Business, such as IT hardware and associated business products.
ASCII group members include independent MSPs, MSSPs, solution providers, etc. They can leverage Amazon Business as a comprehensive destination to access a range of products across categories that cater to their various needs, while potentially receiving cost benefits. The program will allow members to see shared business lists of frequently purchased items by ASCII’s participating MSPs.
MSPs Have Become Key, says ASCII Group
MSPs play a role in maintaining the infrastructure of businesses, and that role has become even more pronounced because of the pandemic and the necessity for secure remote working capabilities, according the ASCII Group. With the growing reality of cyberattacks, MSPs have become key to the overall health of businesses in the U.S.

The access to Amazon Business will help MSPs with their mission. What’s more, it will give them access to essential computer equipment and key business items. With Amazon’s operational efficiencies, quick access to such items is indispensable for ASCII’s IT business owners.
“We are thrilled to begin this crucial relationship with Amazon Business,” Alan Weinberger, Chairman and CEO, The ASCII Group, says. “This collaboration is a pivotal moment within our community and the IT Channel, whereby ASCII’s vision comes full circle in terms of enabling our membership network to increase their profitability, business success, and to better serve their clients.”
“We’re excited to be working with The ASCII Group,” Matt Roemer, senior manager at Amazon Business, says. “With recent supply-chain challenges and the evolution of virtual work, making online procurement easier for customers of all sizes and industries is among our top priorities, and one we share with ASCII.”
The ASCII Amazon Business Network initiative is live on ASCII’s member portal. It is available in the U.S. only. To learn more about becoming a member of the ASCII Group and taking part in this program, please visit www.ascii.com/onboard/.
