With the ALSO Cloud Marketplace, the cloud service lifecycle is automated from selling to billing, and is designed to make it easy to create hybrid offerings that provide users the optimal fit. The ALSO Cloud Marketplace provides resellers across Europe the ability to pay-as-they-go and avoid complex implementation and setup.
The Act! customer and contact management business application, now available in the ALSO Marketplace, is ideal for resellers looking for a locally-hosted, subscription-model contact management solution for their customers.
“This partnership is tremendously beneficial for Swiftpage, our customers and our partners (ACCs),” said H.
