Cohort unleashes the Empower

Distributor's latest range of partner managed services will offer new revenue streams to resellers, it claims

Cohort Technology has taken the wraps off a raft of partner managed services under its new Empower brand.

The services are additional to those already offered by Cohort including training, consultancy and TAC support.

Initially the Empower branded services include firewall, network access control, encryption and DDoS protection.

Grahame Smee, managing director of Cohort, said: "By allowing our reseller partners to use our back end systems, it opens up a huge potential income stream for them.

"Empower means that any partner can offer a pay-as-you-grow to their customers at a time when capital expenditure remains difficult to secure," he added. "The system is totally flexible in terms of contract, SLA and reporting. The reseller maintains the end user relationship while we provide the expertise and management systems."

Smee said Cohort will be adding new modules as the servcie develops, with a Certificate Management module already scheduled for next quarter.
