Kaseya's Managed Service Automation Software Platform Named A CRN Emerging Technology
For Immediate Release
ST. HELIER, JERSEY, JUNE 6, 2007 – Kaseya, a global provider of Managed Service Automation (MSA) software for IT solution providers and corporate IT organizations, today announced that it has been selected by CRN, part of CMP’s family of Channel Solutions, as a CRN Emerging Tech vendor for its IT management framework. CRN's Emerging Tech list captures companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants.
Kaseya’s Managed Service Automation software enables solution providers and corporate organizations to proactively manage distributed IT infrastructure easily and efficiently with one integrated Web-based platform. Automating essential administrative duties and managing processes remotely, Kaseya offers IT solution providers the tools and support they need to reduce IT management costs and improve financial performance.
Kaseya’s software advances an MSP’s ability to manage customers’ IT environments making systems management an automated, proactive process vs. the traditional break-fix process supported by other technology solutions. This helps MSPs reduce downtime for its customers and it helps build a recurring revenue flow and grow its business without huge human capital investment.
With approximately 2,000 solution provider partners globally, Kaseya practices worldwide recruitment and is continually expanding its global reach.
According to the 2007 CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution providers add emerging technologies include, the technology is superior to other products in the market segment; the technology compliments a solution providers’ existing practice areas; emerging vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay better attention to partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want alternative product choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing programs. In addition, 61 percent of solutions providers surveyed plan to increase the number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12 months.
"Successful Solution Providers are always looking for new and innovative partners, and the CRN Emerging Tech list provides a way for them to discover a large number of potential new partners who offer a wide range of emerging technologies," said Heather Clancy, vice president and editor of CRN.
Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established solution provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company’s revenue history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners.
“Kaseya is proud to be recognized by CRN as one of 2007’s emerging tech vendors,” said Jim Alves, executive vice president of product marketing at Kaseya. “We believe that our success is a testament to the strength of our offering, and we are dedicated to continuously expanding the breadth and depth of our managed services automation software to ensure that we are constantly adding benefit and serving the needs of our growing customer base.”
