Verio Targets Enterprise Hosting
and Network Services Channel Partners with Two Cash
Incentive Programs [March
8, 2004]
ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Mar 8, 2004 (BUSINESS
WIRE) -- 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.
