RealPage moved every customer's billing onto C3 with onboarding finished inside a week, and now runs the whole cycle in a fraction of the time it used to take their team.

Hands-on labs and technical enablement

We are incredibly pleased with our experience using CloudLabs by Spektra Systems. Their responsiveness and support have been nothing short of outstanding. They have demonstrated remarkable flexibility in accommodating our unique processes and challenges, resulting in a seamless and highly productive collaboration.

David Trinh Academic Program Manager, Seneca Polytechnic

CloudLabs by Spektra Systems was instrumental in our ability to scale our hands-on training to 7000+ trainees. A month before the event, Spektra Systems was able to procure the Cloud VM quota we needed and load-test the environment to ensure we were fully ready to support an event at this scale.

Spektra team, thank you for your exceptional support and service for the numerous workshops and hackathons we planned together. You are knowledgeable, reliable, and overall, really great to work with. I've only heard raving reviews of Spektra's support and services.

Nina Sui Sr. Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft

Cloudlabs has given us the opportunity to deliver Microsoft Cloud curriculum to our students at an affordable, controlled cost.

It eliminates the time and complexity involved in setting up labs and enables smooth experience for our all participants and trainers.

Tal Ein-Habar Cloud Security Expert, Check Point

I partnered with Spektra Systems when I needed to host a large-scale, virtual & customized hackathon in Summer 2020. To further complicate matters, I had an aggressive timeline and nothing more than an idea for the hackathon. When Spektra came onboard to help, they immediately put structure to the event via timelines, deadlines, planning meetings, documentation, and best practices.

Coree Mahoney Azure Program Manager, Microsoft

On behalf of the entire DXC organizing committee and participants, I would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for your exceptional support and collaboration throughout the Hackathon. Your team's dedication to provisioning the lab environment and ensuring seamless access for all participants played a crucial role in the success of this initiative.

On behalf of the Microsoft Practice at IBM, a heartfelt THANK YOU for your outstanding support in making the IBM Agentic AI Hackathon 2025 a resounding success. Your team went above and beyond to help us resolve infrastructure issues swiftly and effectively, ensuring minimal disruption throughout the event.

The lab environments provided by Spektra Systems are critical to our NurseHack4Health events. Spektra makes it easy for our hackers and coaches to get access to Azure and Power Platform capabilities!

Jeff Fatic Director, HLS Emerging Opportunities

The Redington event was successfully concluded, and we received very positive feedback from the partner.

Microsoft CSP billing and automation

After evaluating a shortlist of partners, we were most impressed by the C3 demonstration. We reduced the implementation plan from over three months to two, and cut operational overhead from five people down to two, freeing up valuable time for other projects.

David Burn Group Technical Director, 848 Group

The entire C3 team truly understand what great customer service looks like, and they act on our input from the ground with real urgency and care. The platform gives us a fantastic foundation to make the most of the Microsoft CSP program and deliver true excellence of service to our clients.

Colin Macandrew CTO, Transparity

C3's features ensure both the partner and the client benefit. It gives our clients a one-stop digital portal, while we achieve easier onboarding, a 24x7 self-service offering, and much less management overhead.

Michael Foertsch Customer Services Manager, Professional Advantage

We evaluated four other CSP portals before we found Spektra Systems. Working with their team, we were up and running in days, not months, and they are always fast to respond so we can offer a seamless Microsoft Cloud experience.

Charlie Ramirez Managing Partner, Team Venti

With C3 as our CSP management platform, we've been able to grow and expand our cloud business efficiently. The Azure billing drill-down is extremely helpful for understanding and optimizing bills, and the Spektra team is genuinely invested in our success.

Mark O'Dell Operations Director, TechQuarters UK

C3 lets us focus on our customers instead of getting tangled in complex tools for usage consolidation and invoicing. The interface is friendly and easy to navigate, and we can make quick usage estimates and analyze cost across every metric available.

Thomas Baggenstos President of Board of Directors, A. Baggenstos & Co. AG

We had been hunting for a CSP management solution within budget for a long time, and C3 was our choice from the get-go. Onboarding was done within a week, and we now manage all customer billing in just 75% of the time we used to spend.

Aaron Inscho Technical Account Manager, RealPage Inc.

C3 is a great CSP management platform, but it's the support we get from Spektra that gives us the best value. The team is deeply invested in our success and always reachable, onboarding was smooth, and the revenue-aligned pricing is perfect.

Aaron Jagger Cloud Practice Lead, CanCom USA

We had been searching for a white-labelled self-service portal with billing automation and invoicing capabilities. C3 meets our requirements better than any other platform we found, offers great value for money, and made onboarding simple.

Ben Whittaker Senior Technical Architect, Piksel Group Inc.

Before C3, TurnPoint was drowning in the complexity of Microsoft's CSP platform. C3 removed it all and let us focus on what we do best: helping our customers succeed with Microsoft Online Services.

Aaron Marks CTO, TurnPoint

We have used C3 for nearly a year now and couldn't imagine doing without it. True to the on-demand principle of the CSP model, it empowers customers to manage their own Microsoft licenses and the quantities their business needs.

Steven Barthelemy Commercial Engineer, Alfun (Part of Devoteam)

As a Direct CSP, we needed a tool to manage all of our license and Azure subscriptions and the associated pricing. C3 understood our issues from the start and gave us a solution that lets us focus on sales while their team handles Microsoft's ever-changing billing, saving us countless hours.

Nick Gallo VP Finance, B&R Business Solutions LLC

With business spread across multiple countries, onboarding a new product to manage customers is tricky. Choosing C3 for Tier-1 billing and provisioning was undoubtedly the best call: a true end-to-end Modern Partner experience, tightly integrated with our entire business.

Laco Vosika Co-Founder, Becloudsmart

C3 helped us establish our own cloud marketplace portal, transacting directly with Partner Center while our clients manage their licenses themselves. We love the simplicity of the product and the promptness of the Spektra team, and it's great value for the features it offers.

Tõnis Tikerpäe Service Manager, Primend OÜ

We implemented C3 over a year ago and it was easy to set up with help from the team. Our customers love the self-service access to manage their own subscriptions, which is a huge time saver for us, and C3's support is fast and always accurate.

Katherine Turner-Lawrence VP Sales & Marketing, Western Computer

The single biggest benefit of C3 is being able to analyze reports from revenue to customer utilization, instead of maintaining massive spreadsheets and waiting for monthly summaries. This helps us plan ahead, and the time we save is reinvested in other key areas of the business.

Mike Mackey CEO, IT Partner LLC USA

As Microsoft Direct CSPs, we tried several billing and portal products that were overly complex and unintuitive, until we found Spektra's C3. It does exactly what we need: accurate billing, accounting integration, and easy subscription management, backed by the best support.

Lisa Parris COO, E|Consortium

I highly recommend C3 for its great features and its efficient, revenue-based pricing. The onboarding process was seamless and the interface is user-friendly, and since implementing it we've scaled our Microsoft business while giving customers clear visibility into their billing.

Steve Griffin Technical Account Manager, L3 Networks, Inc

C3 helped solve the most pressing challenges we faced as a CSP provider, making subscription management and billing faster and easier with minimal effort. Our team was most impressed by the marketplace access and self-service that let customers purchase, provision and manage cloud resources.

Danijela Radunovic Vasiljevic Sales Operations, MainStream EU

Since implementing C3, our monthly invoicing is far less time-consuming and much less error-prone. We went from a two to three day invoicing cycle to completing everything in four hours, making our CSP reseller business more efficient and predictable.

Daniel Perruzzo Director of Sales, Neway Technologies

C3 has revolutionized our Microsoft CSP billing, automating complex, time-consuming tasks while improving accuracy and reducing costs. Our customers get full visibility into their invoices, usage and payment history, and the C3 team's support and responsiveness are excellent.

Ori Becher VP Microsoft Cloud, Abra IT

Faced with billing and reconciliation challenges, we tried CSP Control Center and were up and running on the new platform within a week. As a white-labelled solution it's easy to navigate, and the team helped us get comfortable with the New Commerce Experience.

Imraan Sallie Operations Director, Ascent Technology

Since discovering C3, we've experienced a remarkable transformation in our operations. Automating subscription management from quote to billing eliminated the error-prone manual work we used to endure, and the bi-directional Partner Center sync keeps Microsoft pricing current.

Alastair Rees Director of Alliances, Kocho

In a market flooded with solutions claiming to solve complex cloud billing, none come close to the seamless experience of C3. It's user-friendly, sharing access with customers is straightforward, and the team is attentive and responsive, streamlining our daily operations.

Vincent Gonthier Ingénieur Formateur Microsoft 365, Agoravita

SaaSify

Cloud marketplace listings and growth

SaaSify supported Willow in making our WillowTwin solution commercially transactable in Azure Marketplace. We found the team extremely responsive and supportive, ensuring actions were followed up and commitments were met on time.

Scott Smith Global Head of Microsoft Partnerships, Willow

SaaSify made our cloud marketplace journey seamless. As a small company, having the Spektra Systems team guide us through the listing process and cloud provider navigation was invaluable. Their support was hands-on, fast, and exactly what we needed.

Yumi Nishiyama Director of Strategic Alliances, Anvilogic

We sincerely appreciate your efficient, gracious customer service, the level of detail and accountability you have demonstrated on each project, and the way you conduct business as a whole. We have and will continue to, recommend your services to other companies and contacts.

Vikas Tiwari Global Strategic Alliances & Partnerships, Squadcast Inc

EZDI needed a platform that would help with posting usage-based slabs that we have for our SaaS offers. Experts at SaaSify identified our requirements and proposed a solution to develop a “Bulk-Upload” feature in the SaaSify platform.

Devanshu Yadav Director of Business Strategy, ezDI Inc

To meet our customers' needs to subscribe to private offers and plans on the Azure marketplace, we were struggling to find a solution. SaaSify helped us create custom offers and plans, and provided the necessary features for our operations teams, making it a win-win situation for our customers, Microsoft and us. We are extremely pleased with the ease of use of SaaSify and the meticulous hand-holding and support provided by the Spektra team throughout the last year.

Sanjay Morab Director of Business Development, Palo Alto Networks

The support we get from SaaSify is outstanding. They're always available with answers and actions to make sure we can close customer transactions. A really great partner.

Scott Mellegaard Director, Strategic Alliances, DigiCert

AWS account managers were hearing about Pump, but we weren't showing the ACE opportunities. With SaaSify, we're now taking credit and showcasing what we've accomplished as a major player in the cloud optimization space.

Stuart Lundberg Head of Operations, Pump.co
