groupSPARK Private Label SaaS: Allowing MSPs, VARs and ISVs to resell best-in-class hosted SaaS service under their own brand.

 

 groupSPARK works to solve the needs of managed service providers, value-added resellers, software vendors and IT consultants who want to increase customer revenue and add new customers by selling hosted Microsoft Exchange Server, hosted Windows SharePoint Services, mobility services and hosted archiving services but do not have the financial resources to build and maintain their own SaaS infrastructure.  groupSPARK helps resellers offer these industry-leading hosted services to their new and existing customer base completely private labeled.


By partnering with groupSPARK, resellers benefit from:

  1. A complete private labeling solution – our PLAD (Private Label Application Delivery) technology was built from the ground up for private labeling.  You can use your branding, your URLs, even for RPC/HTTPS setting inside Outlook.
  2. No upfront investment and no risk – our hosted solution means there are no hardware, software or consulting costs. There is no need to spend time and money on implementing a complete hosted Exchange, SharePoint, archiving or mobility solution, or to hire experienced Exchange Server administrators for 24x7 coverage and ongoing proactive maintenance.  We do it all for you.  You can provide a complete, private label solution to your customers in minutes instead of months.
  3. $20-$25/seat/month in new revenue – increase your Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) by $20-$25 per employee per month from your customers.
  4. Full support by Exchange experts – we provide Tier-2, 24x7x365 live phone and email support to you, and offer optional Tier-1 private label support to your end-user customers.
  5. Web-based control panel – Administer your hosted SaaS customers from one easy-to-use web interface, and your end-user customers can administer their own accounts in your fully branded environment.
  6. Integrated provisioning and billing – our XML web services API allows for deep seamless integration of hosted Exchange provisioning and management inside your existing control panel, making your customer experience seamless and allowing for easy billing integration with your current system.
  7. Up to 100% uptime SLA – offer your customers a 100% uptime guarantee on dedicated servers and a 99.9% uptime guarantee on shared servers.
  8. Proven and robust platform – of all the large hosting providers, our hosted Exchange platform is the ONLY one designed, tested, and validated by Microsoft for up to 1 million mailboxes.
  9. Partner with a winner – any company can claim they are the leading hosting provider but we can back that up.  Microsoft selected groupSPARK as their 2008 hosting partner of the year.
