No. 1 distributor expands managed services offerings with new lineup of
Microsoft and Windows-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions
SANTA ANA, Calif., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- Ingram Micro (NYSE: IM) today
announced the immediate availability of three new Seismic Hosted
Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings including Windows SharePoint 3.0 and
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and 2003. In addition, Ingram Micro will
launch a fourth on-demand SaaS solution, Seismic Hosted Microsoft Dynamics
CRM 4.0, in May 2008. All four SaaS solutions will be delivered as part of
Ingram Micro's Seismic Virtual Services Warehouse and can be private labeled
by Seismic partners to drive more brand awareness, build value and extend
customer loyalty.
"Hosted Exchange services are in high-demand and will continue to grow as
businesses' reliance on email and mobile devices such as BlackBerries and
SmartPhones increases," said Justin Crotty, vice president, Ingram Micro
Services Division, North America. "This new lineup of Seismic Hosted
Microsoft Exchange and Windows SharePoint solutions enables our partners to
capitalize on this booming market opportunity and deliver high-value,
private-label, enterprise-grade SaaS solutions to their customers without
having to incur any up-front expenses or hire new technicians to complete
deployment and manage the services."
"Ingram Micro's Hosted Seismic SaaS solutions have made it possible for us
to easily offer our clients the same enterprise-class features and benefits
that Fortune 500 businesses get from Microsoft Exchange, but at a price they
can afford," says solution provider Martin McCarthy, general manager,
Synapse Information Technology. "The ability to private-label also brings
tremendous value to our company by adding a signature of service that our
clients can't get anywhere else."
To ensure a positive user experience, Ingram Micro's new Seismic Hosted
Microsoft Exchange Server, Windows SharePoint Services and Microsoft
Dynamics CRM solutions include daily backups. Seismic partners will also
receive a 99.9 percent uptime guarantee on shared servers and 100-percent
uptime guarantee on dedicated servers.
Pricing for the new Seismic Hosted Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 and
2003, as well as Seismic Hosted Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 and Microsoft
Dynamics CRM 4.0 SaaS solutions will be based upon the number of users.
Upon purchasing these offerings, Seismic partners can private-label the
services, modify the web-based control panel with their own branding and
establish monthly per user pricing according to what their customer base
will bear. Seismic partners can also sell hosted Exchange 2007 Service
Pack 1 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 Service Pack 1 as part of their
private-label offerings.
All Seismic services, including the Seismic Hosted RMM, Print Monitoring
and Management, Online Backup and Restore, E-mail and Web Defense, Network
Operations Center (NOC), Hosted Professional Services Automation (PSA),
Remote Support, Threat Manager, Log Manager, Help Desk, and new Hosted
Microsoft and Windows SaaS solutions, can be purchased together or
separately. Seismic's growing portfolio of services is designed to
