Software company is among first adopters of mobile, cloud-based app for partner communication and collaboration.
GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AccessData Group, a leader in digital forensics, cyber security and e-discovery software, today launched a new mobile app for channel communications at its global partner summit in Grand Cayman. AccessData technology partners and resellers at the event included Dell, HP, McAfee and Verizon, who got the first log-in to AccessData?s ChannelEyes implementation. ChannelEyes replaces conventional partner portals with a real-time social tool for mobile devices.
?Using mobile apps and an industry-specific social network, we are looking to reinvent the way industry-leading vendors communicate with partners.?
?Our channel partners are squarely in the mobile generation, and we need to connect with them in the way they?re accustomed,? said Chad Gailey, VP of Worldwide Channel Sales, AccessData. ?We can?t expect them to hunt around a web portal for our latest newsletter. We need to push relevant info to them in real time via mobile, and ChannelEyes was built for that purpose.?
Using ChannelEyes, AccessData partners and vendors can use any smart device to access up-to-the-minute product and event alerts, program updates, and sales and education materials.
In addition, the app?s business social functionality allows channel partners to communicate and collaborate with one another.
?The team at ChannelEyes is excited to work with AccessData on this important channel initiative," said Jay McBain, chief social officer and co-founder of ChannelEyes. "Using mobile apps and an industry-specific social network, we are looking to reinvent the way industry-leading vendors communicate with partners."
The launch aligns with AccessData?s new reseller-centric partnership model that dramatically limits partnership entry requirements and promotes partner profitability from day-one.
?We?re leveraging the growth in mobility, cloud and business social to empower our partners,? added Gailey. ?We make relationships easy and lucrative for partners, and our unmatched digital forensics, cyber security and e-discovery solutions can do the rest.?
