Cloud and hosting services provider SherWeb this week launched its newest partner enablement tools.

There’s an eBook that walks customers through pros and cons of taking Microsoft Exchange to the cloud and keeping it on-premise. There’s also a TCO calculator that tallies the up-front and hidden costs of an Exchange environment, as well as a range of technical guides, PowerPoint decks and training videos.

“The biggest challenge for MSPs, ISVs and IT consultants is not convincing customers of the benefits of Exchange, but of taking it to the cloud,” said Majd Madina, marketing manager for SherWeb’s Partner Network.

Mathieu Leblanc, director of sales and strategic partners at SherWeb, agreed.

“Most hosting providers offer partner programs, but few provide the sales, marketing and technical resources and support partners need to successfully transition to the cloud model,” he said. “Our new out-of-the-box campaign is just one of the many tools we offer our channel partners so that they can successfully grow their business in the cloud.”

SherWeb says it sells through more than 4,000 channel partners.
