Wizmo Inc. to Help ISVs Deliver Software as a Service By Joining the Microsoft SaaS On-Ramp Program

Eden Prairie, MN (May 25th, 2007) - Wizmo Inc. a leader in the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry, announced today that it has joined the Microsoft SaaS On-Ramp Program. This program is designed to assist Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) in delivering their software in a SaaS model by providing special pricing on Microsoft Windows Server and Microsoft SQL Server licenses.

Many forward-thinking ISVs have already taken advantage of this rapidly growing delivery model to augment their product portfolios allowing them to gain entry into new markets, increase their revenue streams and shorten sales cycles and implementation times. Smaller ISVs are realizing that the SaaS delivery model allows them to compete with any size ISV, further driving growth of the SaaS model among ISVs. "Microsoft recognizes that the current software development landscape presents a great opportunity for ISVs to grow their business with SaaS," said John Zanni, director of Worldwide Hosting at Microsoft Corp. "We are excited to work with Wizmo through the SaaS On-Ramp program, which is designed to help ISVs enter this industry by reducing the cost of technology needed to support hosted software offerings and improving access to other resources."

Wizmo has extensive experience in helping many ISVs deliver their software in a service-based model. With proven systems and processes, Wizmo makes it easy for ISVs to get to market quickly, often without recoding existing software applications. Offering Software as a Service will enable ISVs to meet increasing customer interest in on-demand solutions and utilizing Wizmo's development engineers and existing infrastructure to create a SaaS solution at low costs reduces risk to the ISV. Partnering with Wizmo enables ISVs to eliminate traditional end-user IT headaches like resources, infrastructure upgrades, and licensing, removing many of the delays in getting a SaaS solution to market.

"The internet as a computing platform has strengthened over the past years, and this, combined with the desire of the businesses to staff IT departments with fewer employees, has fueled the growth of Software as a Service," says Brad Balogh, President and CEO of Wizmo. "ISVs that recognize the benefits of offering their software as a service over the Internet are expanding their customer base beyond their on-premise market. By partnering with Wizmo, ISVs will find it easy to implement a solution that will meet their customer requirements.

The Microsoft SaaS On-Ramp Program offers eligible ISVs special pricing on Microsoft Windows Server Standard Edition and Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition processor licenses for twelve months. Participating ISVs also receive the benefits associated with the Microsoft Services Provider License Agreement (SPLA), a monthly subscription based licensing program that allows users to license Microsoft products on a consumption basis for offering hosted services and applications to end customers. The Microsoft SPLA includes access to the latest versions of Microsoft software.
