Jamcracker and BlueTie Partner to Deliver On-Demand Messaging and Collaboration Services to Telecoms and Service Providers
Award-Winning BlueTie SaaS Email and Collaboration Service Now Available for Resale through Jamcracker Services Delivery Network
Rochester, N.Y., and Santa Clara, CA (PRWEB) May 5, 2009 -- Jamcracker, the on-demand services delivery company, and BlueTie the leading provider of email and collaboration to businesses today announced a strategic partnership to provide communications and IT services providers with BlueTie's comprehensive email and collaboration suite. The BlueTie offering includes an award-winning AJAX-based Web interface with spam and virus protection, calendaring, powerful desktop sharing and online meeting features, file storage and sharing, and integration with some of the Web's leading business services.
Designed to provide a full-featured but affordable alternative to Microsoft® Exchange for small- to mid-sized businesses, BlueTie's services suite enables users to maximize productivity, and provides businesses with an on-demand solution that requires no dedicated IT personnel, and no up-front capital investments.
"BlueTie offers a powerful and comprehensive suite of messaging and collaboration tools that represent an excellent complement to the existing portfolio of on-demand services in the Jamcracker Services Delivery Network catalog," said Nick Lallas, Director - Business Development at Jamcracker. "We are pleased to offer our service provider and channel partners the ability to resell the BlueTie suite from the JSDN as a stand-alone service or bundled with their traditional telecom and IT offerings."
BlueTie also supports all standard email protocols such as POP3, IMAP4, SMTP, as well as the industry-standard iCal and vCard protocols for interoperability with other messaging and groupware applications.
Telecom providers and IT service providers such as ISPs, website hosting companies, and IT VARs and consultants participating in the JSDN now have a tremendous opportunity to both upgrade the tools they provide their customers and shed much of the expense and distraction of providing non-core services.
"We are excited about partnering with Jamcracker to provide service providers with a comprehensive suite of Value-Added Services," said David Koretz, President and CEO of BlueTie. "Their Service Delivery Network enables the integration of dozens of leading on-demand application providers in one simple step."
BlueTie's suite of messaging and collaboration services is available immediately for resale by Jamcracker-affiliated service providers and resellers.
