Verio Launches New viaVerio Channel Partner Program

Unified Program Delivers Advanced Resources and Support, Enabling Resellers to Expand Revenue Opportunities

CENTENNIAL, Colo., October 28, 2008 - Verio, the leading provider of online business solutions for small to medium sized businesses (SMBs), today announced the launch of its new viaVerio channel partner program and new partner Web site, www.viaverio.com. Designed to further strengthen the full-service resources and support available to channel partners, the viaVerio program offers an enhanced community-building web portal, revamped commission structure, more comprehensive program benefits, updated sales resources and advanced educational courses. These enhancements have been made to assist partners in expanding their business opportunities, generating new sales leads and increasing their overall revenue stream.

“We commend Verio’s efforts to expand its current partner program and deliver the resources necessary to effectively serve our customers,” said Jeff Jolley, vice president of Operations for Jandaco, a Verio partner focused on SMB. “Their highly reliable solutions, superior technical support and competitive pricing make Verio an excellent partner to us and our customers.”

A primary component of this new program is the new partner portal, www.viaverio.com. This portal will deliver resources and sales tools, and will serve as a forum for partners to network with one another regarding Verio’s solutions and more. Partner portal resources include:

  • Partner-to-Partner Directory - an online address book for enabling partners to identify fellow viaVerio peers and foster strategic relationships.
  • Partner Engagement Forum - a discussion portal that nurtures partner-to-partner communication and encourages one-on-one conversations between Verio subject matter experts on timely topics of interest.
  • New Partner Blog - where ViaVerio team members can lead on-going discussions on hot topics percolating in the viaVerio community.
  • Partner Innovation Channel - a community powered micro-site for gathering and sharing feedback on Verio products and programs that provides partners with the ability to vote on suggestions from other partners regarding product development and possible enhancements.

The ViaVerio program will continue to focus on strong account management support as well as training and technical assistance. For example, Verio’s Sales Engineer (SE) competencies will be available directly as an extension of each partner’s internal sales team to deliver product knowledge and technical expertise during the sales process. Verio will also be launching a Webinar-based Partner Education Series to provide corporate level education on topics related to hosting, and practical advice on driving revenue growth.

“The new viaVerio program demonstrates our commitment to business growth through the indirect channel and offers significant tools, resources and revenue opportunities to further support and engage our partners,” said Scott Calvert, senior director, channel sales, Verio. “We are excited to unveil these new offerings and drive additional success with this program.”
