SherWeb, an Innovative Microsoft Hosted Exchange Provider, Launches the Cloud's First Ever Distributor Model

New Co-Branded Model Part of Bold Partner Program Revamp That Rewards Resellers More for All Their Efforts


SHERBROOKE, Quebec, July 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SherWeb, a world-leading provider of hosted business solutions, today announced that it has revamped its successful partner network, making it the best paying reseller channel in the industry.

As a leading Hosted Exchange provider, SherWeb also breaks new ground by introducing the only true cloud service distributor model in the industry. For the first time ever, MSPs, VARs, ISVs and IT consultants can resell business-grade hosted services without having to worry about customer support – all while retaining customer ownership and pricing control. SherWeb supports the customer directly 24/7/365.

"Our distributor model is an easy, risk-free way to resell high-demand cloud services," explains Mathieu Leblanc, SherWeb's Strategic Partners Director. "Distributors boost profits by reselling high-revenue products like our award-winning Hosted Exchange bundles, while delegating to us whatever support they are unable or unwilling to provide, from pre- to post-migration and everything in between."

SherWeb still has its popular white label Hosted Exchange Reseller Program. Resellers retain full customer ownership, set their own prices and provide customer support—all under their own brand.

Another big change is SherWeb's affiliate program, which has been renamed to Hosted Exchange Advisor Program to better reflect the role IT consultants play as trusted advisors for customers. Advisors are now better rewarded for recommending SherWeb's hosted solutions, with an impressive one-time payout plus recurring monthly payments for the entire life of the account.

"It's the quickest, most profitable way to enter the cloud market," says Simon Langlois, Advisor Program Manager. "Our program pays more for every referral, while rewarding long-term relationships as a trusted advisor with customers. And with no post-sales effort required, referrals are 100% profit."

Determined to make its partner programs the most profitable in the industry, SherWeb offers incredibly low reseller and distributor prices on its value-packed Hosted Exchange bundles, in addition to partner pricing tiers that reward partners' growth based on all services. Margins start at an impressive 27% and shoot upward with sales. Of course, resellers, distributors and advisors alike have access to SherWeb's full suite of premium cloud services like Hosted Exchange 2010, SharePoint 2010, Lync 2010, SkyNox Online Backup and more, as well as its cloud email and collaboration suite: SkyOffice.
