Below we will present three deployment scenarios and we'll discuss the pros and cons per scenario.

...

The "All-in-one" Scenario

...

In this scenario, you don't really need to deploy any country tenants, since everything will be managed from a single organization. You will link all your partner center accounts with this single instance and all your customers will login log in to a common Storefront for placing and managing their orders.

...

• Activate in your organization all your CSP accounts (check Support for Multiple Partner Center Instances for understanding the process)
• Create a pricelist price list for each CSP account that will include all products that are provisioned to this account. Each pricelist price list can be in different currency if you wish.
• Publish a single Storefront with all the marketing content of your products to be in a single language. Your Storefront interface (i.e the menus, the categories, the explanation messages) can be in multiple languages, but the products' content will be in a single language
• Relate each reseller / direct customer with the corresponding pricelist based on his geographical area. Then, your customers will be able to purchase only services that are offered from your regional partner center account.

...

• They have a common team that manages all their CSP business business. 
• Their geographical reach includes countries with common language.
• All their customers are billed from a single business entity entity. 

Advantages

• Faster implementation since it requires only one tenant to be configured.
• Easier integration with any back-office system since all data are gathered in a single organization.
• All CSP team is working together in the same system with full access to all customer data.

Disadvantages

• You have a single Storefront with no localization per country and the marketing content can be only in one language.
• You cannot have the self-registration option enabled in your Storeront, Storefront since you will need first to run for every new customer a verification process for understanding with which pricelist must be related to.
• If you have separate teams for supporting the CSP business in different geographical locations, the isolation of the data per team can be quite time-consuming.

The "Many-in-One" Scenario

...

In this scenario, you separate your business to geographical areas that cover more than one countries country with common characteristics. For example, countries with a common language or common currency or even that they are all managed from a single CSP account. 

...

• Create a country tenant for each region. You can have for example a tenant for LATAM (because of the common language) or a tenant for Europe (because of the common currency).
• For each tenant
  • Relate each tenant with all the CSP accounts your you are having for this region.
  • Create a pricelist price list for each CSP account that will include all products that are provisioned to this account. Each pricelist price list can be in different currency if you wish.
  • Publish a Storefront with all the marketing content of your products to be in a single language. 
  • Relate each reseller / direct customer with the corresponding pricelist based on his geographical area. 

...

• They have dedicated teams for managing the CSP business per region region. 
• The customers of a specific region share some commong common characteristics like common language or currency.
• You want separate Storefronts per region for localization purposes.
• The customers of a specific region are managed from a single subsidiary subsidiary.

Advantages

• You can achieve a better degree of localization since you'll have more than one Storefront.
• Each team is working in their own environment and it will be easier to setup in their BSS the business processes they want.

Disadvantages

• You haven't achieved yet to offer to your customers a fully localized system.
• If a tenant is related with more than a CSP account, you still can't have the self-registration option enabled in the StorerontStorefront.

The "One-to-One" Scenario

...

In this scenario, you treat each of your subsidiaries as a separate tenant for achieving the maximun maximum localization and configuration our platform can offer.

...

• Create a country tenant for each subsidiary or country. 
• For each country tenant:
  • Relate each tenant with the CSP account your you are having for this subsidiary. 
  • Set the prices of your products only in local currency.
  • Publish a Storefront with all the marketing content of your products to be in the local language. 

Who to consider this scenario

...

• They have a dedicated team that manages the CSP business per country.
• The customers of a specific country are managed from by a single subsidiary subsidiary.
• They want a fully localized Storefront per country.

...

• Your Storefront is fully localized for each country.
• You can have the self-registration option enabled since all products are provisioned to the same CSP account.
• Each country tenant can be integrated with the third-party systems been used by the subsidiary.
• You can fully configure our platform based on the feedback you will get from your subsidiary since it's a system solely for them.

Disadvantages

• Bigger onboarding cycles since each subsidiary must be trained to on our platfromplatform.
• You have a maintenance penalty since each new process must be configured seperately separately in each country tenant.
