eMeta Extends Partner Program to Software as a Service Enablers and Managed Service Providers
eMeta Teams with OpSource, Premier SaaS Enabler
NEW YORK, June 29, 2005 – eMeta Corporation, the leading provider of access control, subscription management and ecommerce software, today announced that it is expanding its partner program to include companies that offer Software as a Service (SaaS) enablement solutions, as well as other managed service providers.
OpSource and eMeta, leaders in enabling SaaS, will team together to leverage eMeta’s eRights Suite along with OpSource’s Optimal On-DemandSM. Optimal On-Demand has all of the tools that allow software companies to provide SaaS, including both a consultative and tactical approach to helping ISVs solve model, code and operational issues. eRights offers sophisticated licensing and ecommerce functionalities that help ISVs implement and manage software subscriptions, as well as flexibly license specific components of their applications.
“At OpSource, we pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive solution that enables software companies to speed time-to-market, minimize risk and deliver world-class SaaS offerings to end users,” said Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource. “eMeta provides an essential piece of the SaaS puzzle – licensing and billing. Now, OpSource customers can maximize new and recurring revenue streams with technology that lets them sell software in a variety of ways and manage accounts with ease.”
Jonathan Lewin, eMeta’s CEO and founder, commented, “eMeta and OpSource can now provide ISVs a ‘one-stop shop’ for SaaS implementation and deployment. With our complete SaaS solution, ISVs can truly focus on building their applications to meet customer demands, rather than squander resources on delivery infrastructure. We are excited to work with OpSource and look forward to helping fellow software companies find success with the SaaS model through our joint efforts.”
