WEBINAR: SOLUTION PROVIDERS KEY TO ON DEMAND SUCCESS

Details Opportunities for Solution Providers in On Demand Service Delivery.

SANTA CLARA, CA, July 26, 2006 - Jamcracker is hosting the webinar "Solution Providers: Key to On Demand Success" August 3 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific. SaaS industry expert Phil Wainewright will moderate the session.

The webinar will detail the indispensable role solution providers must play for the successful delivery of On Demand Services that include Software as a Service (SaaS), IT services and communication services. Solution providers that will be essential to the "On Demand Ecosystem" include Value Added Resellers (VARs), Systems Integrators (SIs), telecommunications companies, and service providers.

Wainewright, ZDNet’s SaaS blogger, will lead a discussion with Brent Arslaner, VP of Business Development for Jamcracker Service Delivery Network (JSDN) and Robert Iskander, CEO of VIPTone, the leading provider of On Demand Services to the K-12 education sector.

They will discuss:

• Why Solution Providers are Key to Success for On Demand delivery
• Opportunities for solution providers in the On Demand Delivery Model
• Levels of service that solution providers can offer and the financial returns
• Process for getting started delivering On Demand Services

"Six years ago when On Demand services first gained traction, solution providers were left out of the picture and this contributed to a false start for the On Demand model," explained Wainewright. "We now know that On Demand has re-emerged; it has taken hold and will only grow. But we also recognize now that solution providers must play a central part. Using Jamcracker's seven years experience in On Demand fulfillment and the success of VIPTone's vertical On Demand solutions, this webinar will highlight the roles both of providers of On Demand services and of solution providers, and the proven strategies they can adopt to be successful."
