By Greg LaBrie |   Sep 20, 2023

As a value-added reseller (VAR), WEI relentlessly pursues avenues to enrich the solutions our customers opt for.

Recently, WEI added another groundbreaking value add as we received authorization to facilitate Multiparty Private Offers (MPO) for Microsoft commercial marketplace customers who purchase eligible cloud solutions.
