GFI Software Launches GFI MAX(TM) - Remote Management and Monitoring Tools for the Channel
RALEIGH, N.C., July 28 -- GFI Software, a leading provider of email and security solutions, today launched GFI MAX, a remote management and monitoring software solution for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Value Added Resellers (VARs) and IT Support Organizations. GFI MAX gives them the ability to monitor and manage their clients' networks, while providing them with a recurring revenue stream.
GFI MAX is GFI's first offering in the managed services sphere and follows today's acquisition of HoundDog Technology(TM), a leading remote monitoring and management company.
GFI MAX is an award-winning suite of remote management, monitoring and support tools for IT Support Organizations and MSPs worldwide. MSPs can use GFI MAX's real-time systems monitoring, automated daily health checks, asset tracking, patch management, own-brand client reporting and remote support solutions to build recurring revenues, drive down their operating costs and deliver best-of-breed IT support services.
"Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) often do not have the resources to maintain 24/7 surveillance of their servers and network. The smallest of faults could lead to downtime which translates into loss of business and productivity. The channel can play an enormous part in helping SMBs monitor their network and that is why we are launching GFI MAX, our first offering in the managed sphere," said Walter Scott, GFI's CEO. "GFI MAX allows partners to perform remote monitoring and management of their clients' network and in the process generate an additional revenue stream."
GFI MAX delivers a number of key benefits to GFI channel partners, including:
-- The ability to provide superior, proactive service with round-the-clock client monitoring
-- The chance to win more contracts by showing prospects 'their' advanced system for client care and the option to customize systems with their own branding
-- An additional opportunity to sell to existing clients to make more money by packaging features
-- A fast and easy setup with minimal effort and training, and no additional hardware.
A survey carried out among 200 MSPs and IT support organizations in June 2009 found that nine out of 10 respondents use remote monitoring and management software to offer a faster fix response time, while 81 percent said they could save money by being able to do more from remote locations. In addition, 78 percent said that using remote monitoring and management software allowed them to improve their business margins.
GFI MAX delivers an easy, affordable solution for IT support professionals and MSPs who are looking to take better care of their clients.
"We believe that there are thousands of businesses that would subscribe to a service provided by a Managed Service Provider, a Value Added Reseller or IT Support Organization that is not expensive and gives them peace of mind, business security and added value. This is a win-win situation for the reseller and the client," added Scott.
GFI MAX is the catalyst for GFI to further expand its product portfolio providing both on-premise and Web-based delivery models. GFI is looking at other acquisitions in the coming months that will enable the company to continue providing the best possible solutions to its partners and customers based on their infrastructure and needs at the time.
