December 20, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Microsoft Exchange hosting reseller groupSPARK (groupspark.com) announced on Wednesday it is offering Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 for its channel partners.
The company offers hosted private label software as a service solutions, which its partners then resell to their small and mid-size business customers. These added services enable groupSPARK partners to boost their average revenue per user and retain customers, says the company.
groupSPARK resellers are now able to offer dedicated Microsoft Exchange 2007 server customers the ability to maintain redundant mirrors of their hosted data using local continuous replication and cluster continuous replication, for an additional fee. Other Service Pack 1 features include public folders access, enhanced security, WebReady document viewing and the ability to import and export of .PST files.
"We are pleased to offer these new Exchange enhancements as a hosted service to our partners, allowing them to offer an even more feature rich messaging and collaboration solution to their customers," says Gagan Prakash, chief operating officer of groupSPARK. "These new Exchange features coupled with our complete private label SaaS solution, allows them to offer industry leading products and services to SMBs looking to dramatically increase productivity and grow their business."
groupSPARK announced last month it was selected by Microsoft to participate in its Technology Adoption Program for the next release of Microsoft's customer relationship management solution Microsoft Dynamics CRM, code-named "Titan."

We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

May 2009 - The Blueprint for a Small Web Host
