Channel Clicking with Verio

If you’re ready to dip your toe in the reseller Web hosting waters, definitely consider attending Verio’s annual viaVerio Partner Summit March 15 - 17, 2009 at the Hyatt Regency Reston in Reston, VA.

Sure you’ll get a meaningful look at all the Web hosting trends worth knowing including Cloud Computing, On Demand Services ( SaaS), and PCI compliance. But if you know anything about Verio, they are masters, champions according to many, in providing and marketing value-added services.

So expect to find out about Online Backup, Microsoft Exchange, Business Productivity Applications and CRM in the mix.

Wendy Pearson, Verio's Sr. Director of Marketing, told me there has been some recent additions to the agenda that specifically focus on how to survive in this tough economic climate. Who couldn't use some tips on managing cash flow better? What about how to critically examine assets, even as complicated as a customer base, before making a decision to purchase them? That's valuable advice in my books.

The tough recessionary environment and the job losses that we're sick of hearing about can present some opportunities for those who have the gumption to start a new venture or a small business. There will be those success stories you'll hear about at the Summit. Who knows? Something just might click.
