01732 759725 BULLETIN 10 Exertis adds Zyxel to MSP platform Exertis has teamed up with Zyxel to integrate its switching and wireless products within Exertis JEM – its MSP platform. The platform provides VARs with the ability to offer customers hardware and software products on a subscription payment basis, simplifying the licensing and hardware purchasing process by rolling it all together in one pre-agreed monthly payment. Customisation on Exertis’s JEM platform is also a key benefit, as customers can rebrand quotations and add tailored margins by uploading letterheads and PDFs, and using the built-in margin calculator. Access can also be controlled, giving customers’ individual teams focused access for quoting, ordering and billing. Jason Hill, Sales Director at Exertis, said: “Exertis is delighted to announce furthering our fantastic partnership with Zyxel. Together we have developed their hardware-as-a-service proposition which is the foundation of Zyxel’s new MSP Evolve program. Evolve allows partners to access Zyxel hardware solutions from networking to security using simple and predictable monthly billing. We are proud to be Zyxel’s worldwide launch partner for the platform as it perfectly complements our existing MSP offerings via Exertis JEM.” www.exertis.co.uk Antalis customers protect 1,190 acres of tropical forest With the support of its customers, Antalis has balanced 7,350 tonnes of CO2, protecting 1,190 acres of critically threatened tropical forest, through the World Land Trust.
