Website hosting company and software-as-a-service supplier focusing on messaging and collusion solutions, Intermedia, held its inaugural Partner Meeting not long ago at Microsoft’s Northeast regional HQ in the Big Apple Town . Backed by Microsoft, LiveOffice, Edge and Dell, the meeting brought together fifty of Intermedia’s top strategic partners to debate the prospects of SaaS and how Intermedia and its partners can work in partnership to deliver SaaS 2.0 to the SMB ( little and medium-size business ) community.
Intermedia’s Partner Program enables IT solution and managed services suppliers to in house brand Intermedia’s hosted Microsoft Exchange and Dynamics CRM environments, with its award-wining HostPilot control panel as their own to supply turnkey services and answers to their SMB customers.
Intermedia has more than three thousand active partners, fifty of which were invited to attend this event. The conference concentrated on the problems partners face in migrating client environments to SaaS-based environments as well as integrating SaaS with on-premise technologies.
Intermedia Head honcho , Serguei Sofinski”This was a very successful event for Intermedia. We spent a full day listening to direct feedback from our partners on how SaaS plays into their managed services system and how they foresee Intermedia helping to bridge the chasm between on-premise and hosted technologies.
Our product roadmap plays heavily into the principles of what we’ve termed SaaS 2.0′ and it was exciting to have our partners certify our vision.”. This permits companies to employ each solution in the way that works best for them, without making silos or managerial complexity. One such technology, UserPilot, which permits solution suppliers to integrate their customers’ Active Directory with Intermedia’s Active Directory for centralized and simplified user and policy management, was featured at the meeting. Jeff Cornejo of Blue Ridge InternetWorks, an Intermedia partner and managed services supplier based out of central Virginia spotted, ”Intermedia’s Partner Conference was a excellent chance to share concepts and secrets for moving forward in the managed services and SaaS space. It provided a singular chance to talk with other IT service suppliers about real life examples of how their clients are seeing SaaS and how Intermedia’s vision fits into the genuine world.”. The conference also enabled interactions among Intermedia’s new partners with its key ecosystem partners, including Microsoft, LiveOffice, Edge and Dell.
Perry Cantor of Microsoft added, ”Sponsoring this event was more than worthwhile for Microsoft.
Software as a Service ( SaaS ) is an increasingly significant delivery model for home businesses and the meeting provided rather a lot of discernment into it, how it is developing and will be leveraged and employed in the future.”. Intermedia makes a speciality of providing enterprise-grade solutions thru its world class infrastructure and service to tiny and medium companies at a price they can afford.
