New partner network will help Oracle and
Microsoft-based software vendors to migrate their applications
smoothly, quickly and profitably to a Cloud-based
model.
Quantix, part of the Interoute Group, one of the UK's premier
providers of IT solutions and managed Cloud services, has launched
a new partner programme to help independent software vendors (ISVs)
capitalise on soaring demand for SaaS based applications.
The Quantix Partner Network (QPN) provides an enterprise-grade
hosting platform and comprehensive support services for ISVs
looking either to migrate existing Oracle or Microsoft-based
applications to the Cloud or to develop new Cloud-based
applications for commercial delivery.
QPN offers ISVs a complete set of infrastructural, technical and
business benefits, including:
- Nimbus-Q Cloud Platform: An
application-ready hosting and delivery environment located in two
UK data centres, offering outstanding performance, security,
flexibility and scalability
- Assured service level agreements: An
ISO 20000 service management model and seamless business continuity
for every Cloud application hosted on the Nimbus-Q platform
- 24/7 technical support: Help with
every aspect of the migration, followed by ongoing 24/7 technical
and development support from QPN's team of database and
infrastructure experts
- Sales support: Tools and training to
help ISVs accelerate demand for their cloud solutions
- Outstanding credentials: Quantix has
ISO 27001 accreditation for all security, HR and management
processes, is an Oracle Platinum Partner and Microsoft Gold
Partner, and is cited by Talkin' Cloud as the UK's no.1 Oracle Platinum
Partner offering cloud services
Huge market opportunity
With Gartner predicting that global sales of SaaS-based
enterprise applications will reach $12.1bn this year and $21.3bn by
2015*, there is huge market opportunity for ISVs who can offer
innovative, robust and secure Cloud-based applications.
"The Cloud offers major revenue-generation and market
expansion opportunities for ISVs. By leveraging Quantix's SaaS
delivery experience, ISVs can gain significant competitive
advantage, reduce go-to-market investment risk, reach new markets
faster and ultimately accelerate revenue growth," said Andrew
Slater, Director of Cloud Services at Quantix.
Quantix are now launching a 'quick start' programme for ISVs who
become members of the QPN. This 5 step programme sees Quantix
assess their Partners application for cloud readiness, provide a
'best practice' design, ensures end-user robustness, support the
selling process, and jointly educate the end users. With two
partner levels to choose from, they hope to have an attractive
proposition for all ISVs regardless of their company size or
product maturity.
IDBS, a provider of data analytics software to the healthcare
and life sciences sector, is one of the first ISVs to benefit from
QPN's services."We're extremely happy with the SaaS enablement
service we have received from Quantix," said Chris Molloy, VP
Coroporate Development at IDBS, "We have been able to satisfy
our customers' demand for SaaS while reducing out IT footprint,
saving costs."
Quantix Partner Network is free to join for ISVs developing on
Oracle Database or Microsoft SQL Server. Full details can be found
