Former Cable & Wireless Partners Can
Take Advantage of Migration Promotion;
Consolidator Program Serves Enterprise Hosting Partners
Verio, a subsidiary of NTT Communications Corporation, today announced two cash incentive programs to continue the growth of its successful viaVerio(R) Partner Program. The programs target new and existing channel partners selling enterprise hosting and network services.
The first program, the viaVerio "Conquer & Win with Verio" promotion, offers former Cable & Wireless partners bonus payments for each enterprise hosting or access customer they bring to the viaVerio Partner Program through May 31, 2004. Upon joining the viaVerio Partner Program, new partners are eligible to receive a one-time bonus payment that equals up to 75 percent of one month's recurring revenue. The promotion is designed to recruit partners who lost commissions as a result of the Cable & Wireless exit from the U.S. market.
"Cable & Wireless's recent decision to discontinue residual commissions was unfortunate. We are pleased that Verio is backing up its commitment to its business partners by offering promotions that help soften the blow," said Quy Nguyen, president of Allyance Communications. "I am confident that partnering with Verio will continue to be profitable for my business."
A second program, the "viaVerio Enterprise Hosting Consolidator Promotion" offers cash incentives to new and existing business partners who migrate enterprise hosting accounts to Verio. Verio will pay up to $1,000 per customer migrated from any other hosting provider, up to $10,000 total. This promotion will run through June 30, 2004.
"We've witnessed significant change in the industry over the past 18 months and during that time, Verio has remained a consistent and reliable business partner," said Sharon Smith, partner marketing and alliances director, Verio Enterprise Hosting and Network Services. "These promotions allow us to reward current partners and continue significant program growth by offering account migration incentives to new business partners."
The viaVerio small to medium hosting channel also is offering incentives under a similar Consolidator program, which gives reseller partners serving the small to medium enterprise (SME) hosting space cash incentives to streamline their accounts under the viaVerio Channel Program.
