TriActive(R) Launches New Partner Program
AUSTIN, Texas --(Business Wire)-- TriActive, Inc., a pioneer in SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) for systems management, today announced a new partner program that enables Managed Service Providers (MSP) 2.0.
In MSP 1.0, solution providers were expected to invest money to build a data center, define managed services from scratch, and establish a profitable business. MSP 1.0 was more work, expense, and risk than the market could afford, but TriActive has a better answer. With MSP 2.0, the service provider does not have to make any upfront investment. With a subscription model, the partner pays only for what they use. This allows the service provider to focus on their customers instead of buying, building, and running an infrastructure. The TriMSP(TM) (TriActive(R) Managed Service Provider) partner program enables service providers to obtain all the advantages of managed services without the headaches.
"When comparing TriActive TriMSP with other programs from Ingram Micro Seismic, Level Platforms Inc., Kaseya, N-able and Silverback, partners prefer our back-end loaded business model, our innovative technology, hosted solution, and ability to generate higher revenue streams," said Scott Robertson, VP Channel Development.
"TriActive has empowered our team to go beyond our role as Solution Provider and expand into new realms of MSP business," said Perry Berryhill - President, Panacore. "They enable us to provide our clients with cost effective remote monitoring and management, while building our accountability and efficiency. We see TriActive as positively changing our business model and improving our customer relations - TriActive is a slam-dunk for Panacore Corporation!"

TriActive's Managed Services On Demand(TM) hosted service is a modular set of services the partner can utilize to deliver partner-branded managed services to their customers. All that is required is a Web browser. The service includes everywhere-coverage for remote laptops, desktops, and servers with functions for asset inventory, associated fixed assets, software utilization, license compliance, software license harvesting, patch management, software delivery, and Web-based remote control. It also includes help desk incident and problem management with support for tasks, workflow and auto-routing, escalation and notification, and an integrated Web-based executive dashboard and reporting system.
"Partners love our ground-breaking price of less than $2.25 per desktop for the entire desktop management suite, whereas other comparable services cost more than four to six times as much," said Poul Nielsen, president and CEO of TriActive. "In addition, with TriActive's hosted model, partners don't have to make any investment in infrastructure and on-going maintenance. We handle that obligation, which ensures a working solution, not shelf-ware, and partners only pay for what they use. In short, we win by enabling our partners' success."
"TriActive's solutions allowed us to expand our recurring revenue business," said Robby Hill, CEO, HillSouth. "Their hosted model lets us focus on delivering services and the success of our business instead of building an infrastructure and trying to make someone else's solution work."
"We see a huge opportunity for service providers in delivering managed services, especially around security assessment," said Ron Halversen, VP of Marketing. "We did a study on 350 of our SMB installations, representing over 140,000 managed end points, and found that at each company there was an average of 58 PCs (15%) missing antivirus software, another 24 with out-of-date A/V definition files, and 152 missing critical Microsoft patches. The need for PC security management services delivered through our partners is very high."
A second TriActive study of 472 of our SMB/SME installations regarding Vista readiness showed that a whopping 94% of PCs do not meet Microsoft's Vista recommended configuration, creating a significant business opportunity for solution providers. TriActive's service includes tools that provide Vista readiness reports, imaging, PC personality migration, and more to deliver projects and services more cost effectively.
