OpSource Teams with MarketShare to Ease Software and Web Companies' Transition to SaaS
Santa Clara, Calif., July 2, 2007 -- OpSource™, SaaS delivery experts, today announced a partnership with MarketShare, a specialist in SaaS software pricing, to better serve the needs of new and existing software vendors transitioning to the software as a service (SaaS) business model.
The availability of MarketShare's SaaS pricing and packaging expertise will accelerate time-to-revenue for OpSource customers transitioning to the SaaS delivery model. Combined with OpSource's SaaS delivery and billing services, new and established on-demand companies will be able to successfully enter the market earlier knowing that they will be able to deal with pricing and packaging issues as well as with implementation.
"Since MarketShare has been helping software companies price their products and related services for more than twenty years, it made sense for us to team up with them," said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. "Our customers and prospects will benefit from MarketShare's help in developing more robust pricing strategies and business models that will accelerate their revenue growth. Since our business model is based on our clients' success, we are committed to doing everything we can to insure their success. Our partnership with MarketShare is a great example of this commitment."
For any software vendor considering the SaaS model, OpSource provides a cost effective on-ramp to SaaS delivery. MarketShare augments and extends OpSource's SaaS Enablement Program, a consultative and tactical approach to help companies successfully launch an on-demand offering, by providing additional expertise in the SaaS pricing model.
Jim Geisman, principal and founder, MarketShare said, "In addition to facing the challenges of pricing a SaaS solution, some of our prospects and customers underestimate what it takes to deliver a SaaS application. OpSource's complete, end-to-end SaaS delivery environment and value-added services, such as billing, coupled with its success-based business model, provides tremendous value to SaaS vendors and their customers."
