SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - June 29, 2007) - Pandora Networks (www.pandoranetworks.com), a
provider of on-demand IP communications services for businesses, today
announced the launch of a new portal for partners and resellers of its
Worksmart hosted service.
The partner portal offers an efficient tool for sales, revenue, and
customer relationship management, offering options such as lead management,
customer account provisioning, and real-time revenue sharing reports.
"Pandora's partner portal enables us to respond to our customers' needs
immediately," said Reza Khorramian, president of BCS (Business
Communications Solutions), a leading Worksmart reseller. "With this tool we
now have instant access to valuable information such as trouble tickets,
billing information, provisioning status and customer network utilization.
The portal ensures that we are competitive in our sales efforts and
responsive to our customers at all times."
"The new portal is the perfect complement to our reseller partner program,"
said Arthur Chang, Pandora Networks' CEO. "Pandora has a strong commitment
to its partners, and we feel confident that the new portal, with its
ability to automate lead management and account provisioning, will help
Pandora further accelerate sales channel growth."
The company's new portal provides a single web-based management facility
for Pandora resellers, who will now be able to conveniently track their
leads and generate electronic quotes. Pandora Networks' partners can also
access Worksmart product and training manuals, submit feature requests, or
track their own customers' support cases. With instant updates from the
portal, resellers will be able to manage the lead-to-customer sales process
more quickly.
"Our resellers and partners are critical to the growth of our business,"
said Mark Gebhardt, vice president of sales. "The new partner portal offers
them all of the tools that they need to optimize their efficiency and
maximize their revenue generating potential, in turn accelerating Pandora's
growth."
