EAST GREENBUSH, NY – May 27, 2008 –Autotask Corporation, the leading provider of web-based business management software for outsource IT service companies, today announced that it is offering a special edition of its award-winning software.
The Autotask SMB Edition comes pre-loaded with workflow rules, project templates, service ticket templates, intelligent hyperlinks and sample agreements designed to get users up and running faster, and using best practices developed by top Microsoft Small Business Specialist Community (SBSC) partners.
The new SMB Edition retails for $195 as an add-on to Autotask Go!, and $295 as an add-on to Autotask Pro. However, under an exclusive marketing partnership between Autotask Corporation and Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft SBSC partners qualify to get the new template at no additional cost.
The new template was designed by Microsoft SBSC Autotask users for the SMB Community with the goal of giving new SBSC partners a head start. “This is something we wished was available to us when we first got started,” said Mark Crall, president, Tech Care Team, Inc., an Autotask customer and leader of the Charlotte SBS/SBSC Partner group.
In order to take advantage of this exclusive offer, new Autotask customers must identify themselves as Microsoft SBSC partners at the time of initial purchase. After validating their affiliation, Autotask Corporation will pre-configure their start-up database with the special SMB Edition templates. Existing Autotask customers who are Microsoft SBSC partners may order comprehensive documentation that will allow them to easily enter these templates into their own databases, modifying them as necessary to match their existing business processes and workflows. More details can be found here: www.autotask.com/smb.
"Some of our customers do not have formalized processes or procedures that are well-documented, so they are starting at ground zero when it comes to configuring the software," said Adam Stewart, vice president, Client Services, Autotask Corporation. “Small Business Specialists who are new Autotask customers can now get started right away by using these templates either as they are or as a starting point and modifying them later.”
