Case Study: Comport secures $44,000 cloud productivity deal and streamlines sales with AppDirect

First-sale success—Comport secures $40,000-plus deal

Comport, led by technology advisor Brian Childers in Fort Worth, Texas, needed a partner to expand its services into cloud and energy while improving the sales experience. The company faced time-consuming provider vetting and direct-agreement hurdles and lacked a unified customer portal for managing licenses and subscriptions, which limited its ability to offer a broader, more efficient technology portfolio.

By partnering with AppDirect and provisioning Microsoft Office 365 through the AppDirect Marketplace, Comport gained pre-integrated solutions, a dedicated Channel Manager, and a self-service portal for customers. The result: a closed $44,000 cloud productivity deal, faster go-to-market for new offerings, greater advisor scalability, and improved customer autonomy and retention.
