Bitrix Brings Enterprise 2.0 to the Cloud
Bitrix Launches Rent-a-Portal Initiative to Deliver Enterprise 2.0 Best Practices to Small Businesses Through Service Providers
ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, July 1, 2010-- Bitrix, Inc. (http://www.bitrixsoft.com), a technology
trendsetter in web business communications, announces the release of
Bitrix(R) Intranet Portal / Cloud Edition - a specially-designed version of
its Enterprise 2.0 software suitable for cloud deployment and rent-a-portal
distribution model. This initiative enables service providers to reinforce
their service portfolio and maximize profits while customers can save up to
80% of intranet implementation costs.
"The cloud is a challenging distribution channel for
Enterprise 2.0 solutions. Service providers are constantly looking for new
ways of increasing revenues, while their customers are searching for tools to
create effective internal workspaces while streamlining financial, personnel,
and hardware resources. The new edition of our flagship product is a perfect
fit for both sides," said Dmitry Valyanov, President of Bitrix, Inc.
Bitrix Intranet Portal / Cloud Edition is a ready-to-go
solution for small organizations with up to 50 users that prefer installation
of the product on a service provider's premises. It allows customers to avoid
the vast majority of costs associated with additional software and hardware
acquisition, product installation, and maintenance, making it ideal for even
the least IT-savvy clients. In fact, customers only pay for the actual number
of users and actual software usage. Finally, the Cloud edition minimizes
concurrent risks of system downtime, data breach and data loss, as these
issues are managed by the service provider.
On the flip-side of the technology solution, this distribution
of Bitrix Intranet Portal enables service providers to increase average
revenue per user, creates a new source of recurring profits without
increasing overhead, builds customer loyalty and attracts new customers to
the core business. Selling Bitrix solutions lets service providers diversify
business, widen their product portfolios and improve competitiveness by
offering new, high-demand products.
Bitrix supports its commitment to this initiative by refusing
to compete with partnering service providers - the company adheres to a
strict policy of not offering the product directly.
A distinctive feature of Bitrix Intranet Portal / Cloud
Edition is cross-cloud support of all major virtualization platforms
including VMware, Xen, OpenVZ, Virtuozzo and Hyper-V. Service providers
simply create a dedicated VPS for a new customer and launch a specially
crafted RPM-distribution kit, which contains all the necessary software and
an installation script. Most importantly, the service providers need not
configure the products each time a new VPS is initiated - the
RPM-distribution contains pre-installed optimized settings. Coupled with
integrated backup feature, this deployment option provides customers an
unparalleled level of solution availability and data loss prevention.
"Our new initiative creates an elegant technological
foundation for bridging vital business-oriented products and end-users
through service providers, thus creating a market-challenging distribution
channel," said Nikolay Vasiliev, International Distribution Director at
Bitrix.
