Partnerpedia Launches Partnerpedia Community Marketplace

MORGAN HILL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Partnerpedia, the leading provider of online communities for collaborative business, today announced the availability of Partnerpedia Community Marketplace, a next-generation solution which enables companies to provide an online marketplace around partner communities that let customers easily find partner-built solutions and services.

?Offering partners a clear route to market is a powerful incentive in generating support and momentum from their partner community.?

Community Marketplace combines Partnerpedia?s collaborative community offerings with an online marketplace that allows companies to create a thriving ecosystem of value added partners and a way to monetize the solutions they?ve built. Unlike traditional e-commerce systems, Community Marketplace is designed not only for transactional products, but also sophisticated enterprise products, services and solutions.

Vendors whose products depend on a vibrant partner ecosystem can leverage Community Marketplace as a turnkey SaaS solution that lets their partners easily publish, market and sell value-added solutions online. Customers, in turn, benefit from having a convenient destination where they can search, inquire about, and purchase complete products and solutions.

Companies are increasingly looking to maximize revenue and product momentum by leveraging partner solutions. Providing a route to market for solution partners is essential to ensuring a successful partner strategy. In the enterprise market, the best solutions are often a mix of products and services from a variety of companies that go beyond a simple application. As a result, handling a customer lead or inquiry is just as important as transaction processing.

?Having a robust developer and partner community is the key element in achieving success for products that depend on value-added solutions,? said Mark Sochan, chief executive officer at Partnerpedia. ?Offering partners a clear route to market is a powerful incentive in generating support and momentum from their partner community.?

Designed for rapid deployment and available as a customizable solution, Community Marketplace integrates social commerce with collaborative partner selling strategies designed to generate leads and maximize revenue around a vendor?s brand.
