Zimbra Partnership Programme Launch
New In-Tuition Networks Partnership Programme Distributes Zimbra to UK Resellers
London Event Briefs IT Outsourcers, Value Added Resellers and SaaS Hosting Providers on Next-generation Messaging and Collaboration Tools
UK communications technology resellers will have the chance to join the Zimbra partner network with the UK launch of In-Tuition’s new partnership programme in London this October. Zimbra, a division of Yahoo! Inc, is the leader in open source, next-generation email and collaboration software.
Managed email services provider and the UK’s leading Zimbra distributor, In-Tuition Networks, is launching the UK partner programme with an event for value-added resellers large and small, from multinational ICT firms to independent software developers. The event will take place at Yahoo!’s UK headquarters on Shaftesbury Avenue, central London, on 15th October.
In-Tuition Networks is distributing Zimbra’s open source software for email messaging and collaborative working, which enables end users to work more efficiently, saving time and cutting costs. The Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS) integrates email, contacts, shared calendar and online document authoring into a single interface. With Zimbra’s innovative Zimlets technology, businesses can also create their own custom "mash-up" interfaces incorporating third party applications such as IP telephony, CRM and other line of business applications.
Zimbra’s General Manager EMEA, Lars Ronning, said, "Zimbra’s software is already used in over 40 million paid mailboxes across more than 60,000 organisations. As worldwide demand continues to grow, our global partners will provide valuable regional expertise to help us scale to serve more local markets. In the UK, In-Tuition Networks’ unique combination of wholesale licensing services and white label Zimbra Hosting makes it easy for resellers to offer Zimbra regardless of how they wish to deploy it to their customer base."
In-Tuition Networks’ Managing Director, Marc Gadsdon, said, "The problem with traditional email is that it hasn’t kept pace with the ever-greater volume of email communications and the increasing functionalities that end users now demand from their messaging systems."
“In-Tuition is enabling UK email resellers to offer Zimbra’s state-of-the-art software, saving end users time by condensing common tasks, such as mashing up address book and calendar information to appear within users’ email, so users don’t have to open multiple applications for each task and switch between them.”
The Zimbra partner network enables resellers to take advantage of an improved Partner Portal with updated documentation, sales tools and marketing resources; there’s also a ’Gold’ tier for high-level partnerships, as well as further opportunities for partners to gain visibility on the Zimbra website and even more resources for co-marketing and selling. By partnering with In-Tuition Networks, as either a Value Added Reseller (VAR), a Zimbra Hosting Service Provider (HSP) or both, companies are eligible to be listed on Zimbra.com and can use the Zimbra Partner Logo.
UK resellers interested in joining the Zimbra partner network can sign up to attend the event by visiting www.in-tuition.net and clicking on the link to the event.
