NewsGator Teams Up with ePartners for Enterprise RSS

By Melissa Risteff, May 08, 2006

This morning we announced a partnership with ePartners, one of the largest Microsoft Business Solutions consultants.  ePartners will be including NewsGator Enterprise Server (NGES) into the bundled ERP and CRM solutions it to key vertical markets and will also include it as part of its new Business Intelligence offering.  With these solutions, companies will be able to see pertinent news feeds alongside application data in a portal dashboard, and when Microsoft CRM 3.0 ships, view that data in RSS as well.

For ePartners, NewsGator Enterprise Server helps ensure relevant content gets to their customers in ways that enable them to make smart decisions.  For us, ePartners has a large customer base and extensive expertise in the markets they serve, which will open up a lot of new opportunities for the company.  ePartners will also be using NGES internally so their sales force can monitor client and prospect opportunities and competitive intelligence.

This is our first announced NGES channel deal in North America.  Keep your eye on this space for similar announcements, both domestically and abroad.  If you are interested in reselling NGES to your customers, please send us an e-mail.
