SUNNYVALE, Calif. and WALTHAM, Mass., April 12 -- Ensim Corporation, the global leader in hosting automation software, and Roving Software, provider of Constant Contact, the leading Do-It-Yourself Email Marketing services, today announced that they have formed a strategic partnership to include Roving's email marketing service as part of Ensim Ignite. This will enable hosting service providers (HSPs) to offer their customers the right tools for creating effective and affordable email campaigns.
"We are pleased to partner with Ensim, the leading provider of hosting automation software and services," said Janet Muto, vice president of marketing at Roving Software. "This new relationship will enable us to expand our reach into a new market and extend our solutions to a broader customer base."
Ensim Ignite is a powerful solution that aggregates essential online services from leading vendors, enabling HSPs to broaden their service offerings. It provides HSPs with a set of comprehensive marketing tools to successfully promote these services to their customers. Because customers sign up for each service directly with individual vendors, HSPs do not incur any support or infrastructure costs.
"This strategic relationship allows us to offer Constant Contact as an integral part of Ensim Ignite," said Steve Dauber, vice president of marketing at Ensim Corporation. "In turn, it will help to broaden an HSP's value proposition while delivering effective email marketing solutions that are mission critical to an end user's success."
