Optimize your Microsoft MACC with DataMiner Credits

Optimizing MACC with DataMiner Credits

A Microsoft Azure Consumption Commitment (MACC) allows organizations to pre-allocate cloud spending, ensuring cost efficiency and strategic resource management. However, many struggle to fully utilize and leverage their MACC in a way that aligns with their operational needs. With Skyline’s MACC Integration, organizations can roll their DataMiner Credits into their MACC, ensuring an optimized, adaptable, and sustainable cloud investment.

“Organizations want to get the most out of their MACC, but without the right integration, they risk inefficiencies and underutilized cloud budgets,” said Glenn D’Haene, VP Sales at Skyline Communications. “By integrating DataMiner Credits into MACC, we help customers optimize cloud consumption, eliminate waste, and enhance the overall efficiency of their cloud operations. It’s a clear win for any MACC customer. The benefits are clear, immediate, and highly impactful.”

A flexible approach to cloud consumption

With DataMiner Credits, organizations gain access to a flexible, usage-based service model to consume DataMiner in a way that best suits their operational needs. Whether through a subscription-based model or on-demand consumption, users maintain full control over their usage, allowing them to align their investments with evolving business priorities.

DataMiner Credits provide a zero-waste way to use MACC, ensuring that cloud spend directly translates into operational value. Unlike ad hoc cloud purchases for point solutions that may go underutilized, DataMiner Credits enable access to a modular, scalable platform that supports long-term growth and continuous evolution. The unrivaled transformational power of DataMiner also ensures that MACC spend can always be directed toward the most impactful initiatives—even as priorities shift in a rapidly evolving environment. This ensures that organizations don’t just optimize their MACC spend with this integration but also make strategic cloud investments that align optimally with their broader goals at any given time in the future.

Seamless procurement via Azure Marketplace

DataMiner Credits are available through the Azure Marketplace, making procurement seamless and accelerating MACC utilization. Enterprises benefit from a simplified buying process, as Azure Marketplace purchases are already pre-approved within most organizations and automatically count toward their MACC commitments. This eliminates procurement friction and enables faster access to DataMiner solutions without complex approval cycles and duplicate administrative overhead.

Enhancing scalability with Storage as a Service (STaaS)

DataMiner Cloud Platform services are also very relevant for users with on-prem DataMiner deployments. Because of the flexible and modular architecture of the DataMiner stack, a variety of DataMiner Cloud Platform add-on services are available for any DataMiner deployment, such as seamless integration with Microsoft Teams for collaboration, live data and control dashboard sharing, CI/CD and catalog services for DevOps teams, and much more.

A notable addition is the DataMiner Storage as a Service (STaaS) offering. STaaS enables DataMiner users to migrate their on-prem data storage to the DataMiner Cloud Platform, which leverages state-of-the-art cloud-native Microsoft storage solutions, and to benefit from substantial savings.

“With the DataMiner MACC Integration, organizations can ensure that every cloud investment is fully optimized,” said Bert Vandenberghe, CTO at Skyline Communications. “Paired with solutions like STaaS, they gain the agility, scalability, and efficiency needed to thrive in a cloud-driven world.”
