groupSPARK Announces 400th Hosted Microsoft Exchange Server Partner

June 16, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Burlington, MA, June 16, 2006 – groupSPARK, http://www.groupspark.com, today announced the signup of the 400th partner for its GAIN Partner Program. Working from the ground up groupSPARK developed PLAD - Private Label Application Delivery™ Platform - which enables channel partners and resellers to private label the entire Hosted Exchange service, including SharePoint, BlackBerry Server, and GoodLink Server. This allows the partners to provide this valuable solution to their small-mid sized customers and create an easy recurring revenue stream with no ongoing work and minimal investment.

“Until recently, ISPs and hosting companies had to develop the service in-house requiring a large capital investment for both equipment and manpower to implement and maintain a Hosted Exchange offering” says Ravi Agarwal, CEO of groupSPARK. “groupSPARK provides this much needed service with a minimal outlay of funds and groupSPARK can have the service up and running, completely transparent to the end customer, in less than 30 minutes. This level of speed to market arms our partners to quickly and easily sell Hosted Exchange.”

groupSPARK will be exhibiting this summer at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference on July 11-13 in the Hosting Pavilion at the Boston Convention and Event Center in Boston, MA and at HostingCon on July 17-19 at Booth 516 at the Mirage Hotel Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV.
