Reseller Billing Tools, Premiered at Data Center Provider, PHASE 2
Honolulu, Hawaii – (The Hosting News) – February 2, 2009 – Data center provider, PHASE 2 International, has made available its newest tool for its SaaS resellers, including a solution that provides a fully integrated purchasing, billing and tracking portal for partners.
Developed to use as a self- branded method of easily manage SaaS customer transactions, the solution is available now at no cost to PHASE 2 partners. The basic service can track usage and manage partners’ client billing for PHASE 2 SaaS usage from a customizable portal that can accommodate a logo and partner-specific pricing.
Built in partnership with Aria Systems, the leading provider of on-demand billing and customer lifecycle management solutions, the flexible new PHASE 2 offering makes tracking and billing for SaaS easier and clearer for PHASE 2’s partners and their clients.
Mike Devine, CFO of PHASE 2 noted, ”This new client account management portal makes it easier for our partners to manage the great revenue opportunity presented by SaaS. The unique agility and depth of Aria Systems billing solution has made the customization and private-labeling of the Phase 2 offering possible. We have been working on the design for almost a year to ensure that the features are specific to our partners and, if required, minor changes are effortless.”
Options to the basic service will be available to partners who want to further customize and capitalize on the benefits of Aria Systems on-demand billing solution set to do a complete customization of the portal interface – beyond the free logo application and custom reseller pricing; port the PHASE 2 billing application to their own Websites; or expand their use of the Aria Systems solution set to incorporate additional products and services that they sell.
Mr. Devine added, ”This new tool gives our partners the benefit of clear visibility into what their PHASE 2 customers are using and an easy means for billing for services used. And, in addition, it provides an easy way for partner clients to add and remove products and seats whenever they need to, with automatic prorating. It makes the process of tracking and billing/paying for product use easier for everyone.”
