Welcome to the Services Evolution! It's an exciting time for Verio and an exciting time to be a Verio partner! Here at Verio, we are continually looking for ways to bring you, our partners, innovative and leading edge technologies that will keep your business profitable. Verio Business Solutions, a portfolio of software-based business enablement services are designed specifically to meet the operational business needs of your valuable SMB customers!

We are bringing these solutions to you in the spirit of continual growth and development — the key elements of entrepreneurship — we understand that it is not just "web hosting" that solves your customers' business needs. Hosting is just one key element of the business solutions which SMB customers need to operate their business on a day to day basis. Therefore, we have decided to make a strategic shift from hosting that resolves individual business needs to instead offer hosting that resolves and encompasses an array of SMB business needs. As always we remain dedicated to your success and providing you with innovative and leading edge technologies that will keep your business ahead of the competition.

The SOLUTIONS

Verio Business Solutions is an on demand suite of hosted business applications and solutions software designed to appeal to your valuable SMB customers. These solutions will assist them with their functional business needs, such as lead tracking, collaboration, security, etc. Many SMBs need to mitigate rapidly rising costs associated with deploying and managing traditional business applications and technology, and as these critical applications are hosted, on-demand, available via the Internet they are better able to manage resources and cash flow. See a list of available products.

The OPPORTUNITY

The adoption of on demand business applications by SMBs is growing and Verio is ready to help its partners take advantage of this opportunity. IDC estimates that the worldwide software on-demand delivery model will reach $14.5 billion by 2011, with a CAGR of approximately 30%. Of the current research, IDC's forecasts are the most aggressive, however, most of the recent industry research suggests a 15% + growth factor.

As many of our reseller partners are becoming increasingly concerned with new market entrants and disruptive business models, potentially poaching on their existing SMB customer base, we have partnered with some of the leaders in the space, who are committed to a channel strategy and the growth of their resellers. As a leader in the industry and always striving to be on the cutting edge, Verio is the first hosting provider to bring these types of services to valued partners!
