REDtechnology.com launches unique reseller packages

Company extends the market reach of its leading portfolio

REDtechnology.com, a leading provider of powerful content management and e-commerce solutions, has announced the launch of a new reseller proposition. The offering will partner RED’s powerful ConductIT content management system with fully managed dedicated Windows servers and will be available to accredited resellers.

This unique proposition has been designed to build a community of value added resellers to work with RED to develop new and mutually beneficial markets while extending the market reach of RED’s successful portfolio of solutions. Among the companies already benefiting from the technical and commercial expertise of RED are companies like Tie Rack, The Gift Gourmet, Boys Stuff and Bridicso.

RED has developed these unique packages in 3 different configurations, each with a highly scalable modular upgrade path, including powerful add-ons such as a commerce manager, document manager, web marketing manager and a rich multi-lingual capability. The servers are supplied with a minimum specification of Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, mirrored 73GB drives, Windows 2003 server licence and a choice of bandwidth. This combination of sophisticated technical specification and rich commercial functionality makes the proposition compelling, offering resellers a bundle of highly flexible and customisable tools to meet the needs of customers of all sizes and in any market or sector.

The ConductIT CMS is based around Microsoft .Net technology and allows non-technical business managers to deliver real-time content updates, without the need to utilize scarce IT resources. The software is designed around a clear object, template and content methodology, giving business users the ability to deploy items such as an event calendar, contact us forms and updated pricing, with a few simple clicks; safe in the knowledge that the site branding and usability remains unchanged.

The server itself will be hosted in RED’s state of the art data centre from where it will be monitored 24hrs a day. RED’s server management goes one step beyond most other providers by monitoring down to the application layer as standard, ensuring that absolute continuity is maintained for both server and content. The solution is therefore robust and reliable and resellers and users can be confident that data integrity and access will be maintained and secure at all times.

Calvin Litchfield, managing director for REDtechnology.com, concluded: “RED is committed to growth and as a team we are keen to extend our partner network to enable us to reach new markets. We believe this offering provides resellers with the opportunity to combine their existing design, consultancy and technology services, with our business focused CMS and premium hosting service. We are confident that this will create profitable business opportunities enabling resellers to drive additional revenues and customer tie-in. In addition, our solutions have been designed to be highly intuitive thereby empowering the business user to manage the content changes themselves, which also relieves the pressure on the reseller’s own development resources, allowing a more vigorous focus on new business projects.”

The new packages will be available in May 2005 but RED is inviting interested partners to apply for accreditation from today. For more information, or to apply, please call 01865 880800 or email info@redtechnology.com
