Fremont, CA - December 19, 2006 — Zenprise, Inc. today announced a channel partner agreement with Lightspeed, Inc. (www.light-speed.jp/english/) headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, as the exclusive distributor of Zenprise's automated email troubleshooting software in Japan, Korea, and Greater China.
By this agreement, LightSpeed will also assist in localization of Zenprise's software and provide localized services around the software solution.
LightSpeed Distribution Strategy
Zenprise provides service-management software that proactively troubleshoots and identifies fixes to problems across the Microsoft Exchange environment. Microsoft Exchange has the leading market share among enterprises in the Japanese and US markets. The combination of Microsoft Exchange, bundled with an automated email troubleshooting tool, has the potential to greatly increase overall market penetration of Exchange.
Initial targets focus on enterprises who have adopted Exchange in Japan, Korea and Greater China. Lightspeed intends to partner with outsourced email service providers, as well as with system integrators who sell and integrate Exchange Servers.
Zenprise Products
E-mail problems are disruptive, highly visible and expensive to resolve. Monitoring tools send a flood of alerts when a problem occurs. Zenprise picks up where these tools leave off by automatically detecting the true underlying cause of these alerts and recommending appropriate fixes.
Zenprise manages Microsoft Exchange as well as critical Exchange dependent components including Active Directory, Global Catalogs, DNS, etc. The software proactively detects problems anywhere in the infrastructure. In minutes, Zenprise detects true underlying causes by executing a series of advanced diagnostic tests. Zenprise then provides detailed resolution instructions from an extensive database of problem signatures and solutions. This database includes information generated from Microsoft's KnowledgeBase, from Zenprise's internal team of experts, as well as from information generated by customers. The database is dynamically updated every time new Exchange-related issues are discovered.
Adding Zenprise to an existing problem management infrastructure allows IT organizations to solve email problems 60-90% faster, reduce overall alert volume by 95%, predict and prevent problems, improve overall application uptime, and reduce overall management costs.
Customers deploying Zenprise can expect cost savings in 4 key areas: reduced time spent investigating monitoring alerts, reduced time diagnosing & resolving email problems, improved productivity from increased email availability, and reduced incident management costs from proactive problem resolution. Companies can experience anywhere from a 250% to 350% one year return on investment (ROI). Additionally, the cost savings associated with Zenprise more than cover the price of the software, resulting in a payback period of anywhere between 4 to 6 months.
