Cloud Services Providers

4

• Cloud sector outperforms

the overall IT market

and grows rapidly, both

in Russia and Globally

• Accelerating expansion

of Cloud services creates

new opportunities

throughout the IT value chain

blurring border lines between

distributors, VARs and IT

services providers

• For VARs (such as Softline),

it creates a unique

opportunity to tap into

cloud support and services

market due to resale lack of

relevant in-house expertise

and deployment complexity

experienced by the clients

• Provide consulting, system integration, development and outsourcing services

to end users as well as develops proprietary vertical solutions

• People/expertise based, project oriented business with low operating leverage,

highly correlated with the economic cycle

• Differentiate through

innovations in the high

growth areas of Cloud

Computing, Big Data,

Mobility

• Provides externally hosted, dedicated or shared, scalable IT infrastructure,

and associated infrastructure software and support services

• Scalable business model with high profitability potential, based on the mix of tools

• Smaller platform and

service providers need

to develop a portfolio

of third party public

cloud and hybrid clouds

• Capitalize on complexity

of cloud computing

implementation for end

customers, requiring

additional guidance

Cloud transformation: Cloud redefines roles of different participants of the IT market

Strategy highlights

Wholesale Distributors• Connect vendors with resellers and end users and act as global logistics of hardware,

software and system inventory

• Volume based low margin business between vendors defining prices and end users

choosing between multiple distributors

• Cloud computing

helps wholesale

distributors to expand

into higher margin

service-based business

Value Added Resellers• Bundle software and hardware from multiple suppliers with selected IT services into

integrated solutions sold directly to end users (mostly to enterprises and SMBs)

• Low margin and sales oriented business largely based on long term client

relationships
