SCO's Electronic License Deliveries Increase Four-Fold with SeraNova Designed Online Partner Store
EDISON, N.J., Feb. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- SeraNova, the Internet services subsidiary of Intelligroup, Inc., (Nasdaq: ITIG) announced that the e-commerce site it built with SCO, (Nasdaq: SCOC) the world's leading supplier of UNIX server operating systems headquartered in Santa Cruz, California, has seen a more than four-fold increase in product licenses delivered over the web in the past year.
"We worked with SeraNova to design and implement an online Partner Store," said Helene Bouchard, VP, World Wide Customer Delivery Systems for SCO, "where distributors could purchase SCO product licenses electronically, as they needed them, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Store's been a big success. In the old business model, SCO packaged licenses with products, or separately and distributors had to stock and pay for a wide variety of products to meet the needs of their customers. Using the new online Partner Store helps SCO and distributors save time and money."
The Partner Store allows SCO to offer a wider range of licenses. "The electronic licenses give us much more flexibility," said Bouchard. "We can fine tune the Partner Store with just a few keystrokes to accommodate customer needs. In addition, by the end of this quarter SCO will be offering physical media kits to the Partner Store. SeraNova is a solutions-driven company and built a state-of-the-art system for us. They worked hard to understand our needs and develop a Partner Store that met all of our expectations."
"Effective channel management is a critical success factor in many industries today, whether it's hi-tech resellers, automotive dealers, or insurance reps," said Rajan Nair, Chief Operating Officer of SeraNova. "The SCO Partner Store shows how effective business-to-business Internet solutions can be in empowering channel partners."
