Security vendor MX Sweep embraces SaaS model

30 Oct 2009

Irish security-software company MX Sweep has forged a partnership with on-demand service-delivery player Jamcracker to make its services immediately available to be purchased online.

MX Sweep’s services will be made available immediately for resale through the Jamcracker Services Delivery Network (JSDN).

JSDN allows service providers, resellers and vendors to quickly and efficiently deliver on-demand services to businesses and consumers.

“Our partnership with Jamcracker will make it possible for us to leverage their global network of service providers and resellers,” said Aiden Callaly, vice-president of sales for MX Sweep.

Aim to increase subscriber base

“This strategic partnership is an important channel for service providers to implement our solutions, and in turn, we believe will increase our small-business subscriber base. Our partnership with Jamcracker fits perfectly with our innovative business model and our route into the global security market,” Callaly added.

The partnership will enable Jamcracker to offer MX Sweep email security services through its global services-delivery network to resellers, including communications and IT services companies.

“Jamcracker enables communications and IT services providers to create their own branded marketplaces and offer ‘best-of-breed’ SaaS (Software as a Service) applications to their small-business customers,” said Steve Crawford, vice-president of marketing at Jamcracker.
