(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — On-demand IT management software provider SAManage (www.samanage.com) has launched a new partner program for hosting service providers, letting hosting providers offer their customers the benefits of an on-demand IT management solution by bundling SAManage with their existing services.
According to SAManage’s Wednesday announcement, the new program is especially attractive to the many companies and IT departments that have existing relationships with a hosting provider. These companies can gain the benefits of an on-demand IT management service delivered by a trusted provider, building a more complete solution for their IT service needs, while avoiding the overhead of establishing new vendor relationships.
“SaaS represents a large and growing opportunity for hosting providers that are looking to extend their services, deliver broader solutions and create new business in the current economy,” SAManage board member Kurt Daniel said in a statement. “By offering the SAManage solution, hosting providers can differentiate themselves in the market, reach new customers, and capture higher margin revenues.”
The SAManage on-demand IT Management service lets companies of all sizes track hardware and software inventory, detect risks and compliance gaps, and improve service levels, helping companies reduce IT costs by ensuring existing inventory is correctly utilized, improving productivity and IT security by detecting unauthorized and illegal software, minimizing the legal risk of software non-compliance, and enhancing service levels to users with integrated help desk capabilities.
Delivered in a SaaS model, the SAManage solution requires no upfront license outlays or long term contracts, and it can be implemented in minutes with no hardware or software to install, manage, or upgrade. SAManage also offers a free trial period that lets companies try the service in fully operational mode prior to subscribing.
Program members gain access to sales support, customer and technical support, marketing collateral, and joint PR opportunities.
