Santa Clara, California - April 26, 2005 - Leveraging Jamcracker‘s On Demand Delivery and Management Software, the industry‘s leading solution for enabling the management and delivery of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), the JustWorks Provider Network, a member organization for IT Service Providers targeting small to medium-sized businesses, is giving resellers the opportunity to add Software-as-a-Service vendors to their catalog of services.

When it launches later this month, the JPN will use Jamcracker‘s On Demand Delivery and Management software to bring a new distribution model to the SaaS marketplace. It enables the JPN to provision SaaS vendors into its Portal for point-and-click distribution by its members for resell to their customers.

IT Service providers that have been, and will continue to be, the source for IT goods and services to the SMB market, will now be able to deliver the emerging ”on demand‘ services as members of JPN. By providing IT service providers a way for these services to be delivered through their existing channel, the JPN will be first to market with a distribution framework for the ”on demand‘ marketplace.

“The VAR/VAD channel and regional integrators have been trusted advisors to SMB for IT services for 20 years. The JPN will bring together the power of the SaaS business model with the strength and reach of the channel partners,“ said Todd Johnson, President of Jamcracker.

The JPN operates an Internet portal, giving its IT Services members access to management tools and the ability to provision SaaS applications directly to their customers. All billing and contractual relationships flow through the Network from vendor to Network to JPN Member, with a strict adherence to protecting the relationship of the JPN Member with its customers.

“We recognize the value of the channel because we are from the channel,“ explains Andrew Percy, CEO of the JPN, —and we know the problems and issues that IT service companies face everyday. The JPN is all about helping the SMB-focused IT services sector participate in the on demand world. Small businesses rely on their computer support providers to make decisions and the JPN creates a channel for SaaS vendors to leverage those relationships.“ Membership pricing starts at $200 a month and includes unlimited JPN Portal access for the member and their customers.
