Free to Small Businesses Forever
BlueTie's free online offering includes business class email with
domain name support and spam and virus protection, integrated with
shared calendars, files and contacts. The free offering supports up
to 20 users per account and includes administrative tools that make
it easy for any small business to manage.
Email accounts can be personalized to reflect a company's domain
for a more professional appearance, such as jane@yourcompany.com.
Each user receives five Gigabytes (GB) of email and file storage -
the highest capacity of any online business application - and a
desktop-like experience including rich-text formatting, spellcheck
and drag-and-drop folders.
Leading Small Business Partners
Partnerships with nationally recognized small business service
providers give users unobtrusive, on-demand access to relevant
business services, simplifying everyday tasks. BlueTie users will
see these services only when they are needed - such as when booking
a business trip or receiving a birthday reminder - and they will be
able to complete these transactions from within the BlueTie
application. BlueTie will generate revenue from its free offering
through revenue sharing with its partners - not from the users
directly. The value-added services are a range of subscriptions,
free services, per use services and product purchases. Usage of
these integrated business services is completely optional, and
those who choose to take advantage of them will pay the same
competitive prices offered directly from the providers' websites.
BlueTie will soon introduce integrated travel reservation services
from Orbitz, and email marketing services from Constant Contact.
Additional services, such as web conferencing, small business
credit cards and office supplies ordering, will be phased in over
time. Partners and services are all nationally recognized brands
and are selected based on their relevance to small businesses.

Resellers drive services revenue and manage customers without
leaving the office | Press Release 2006 | BlueTie, Inc.ROCHESTER, N.Y., November 20, 2006 BlueTie, the leading
provider of business email and calendaring services, has launched
TieIn a Web platform that enables resellers to manage all of their
customers in a single interface and develop powerful new mash-ups.
TieIn enables resellers to increase service revenues while reducing
the time and costs to provide these services - giving partners an
alternative to tedious Microsoft Exchange implementation and
administration.
TieIn combines a Web-based Extranet for centralized provisioning,
private-labeling and administration with an XML-based Web services
API for custom development and mash-ups. These tools enable
partners to instantly manage all of their customers and extend
BlueTie in new ways.
TieIn is immediately available to BlueTie's 700 resellers
worldwide, as well as new partners. By private-labeling BlueTie
services directly through TieIn, partners can also strengthen their
brand identity, increase customer satisfaction, and generate
additional professional services revenues.
"'Midnight runs' to fix Exchange server issues are a thing of the
past for resellers who choose BlueTie", said Rob Chamberlin,
Director of Marketing for BlueTie. "Our partners can manage all of
their customers and earn services revenue at the office or in their
pajamas. It's that simple."
Resellers can now pay a fixed monthly wholesale price for each user
they provision, and set the retail price to generate 40-70% margins
for the life of their customers. They can also use the TieIn
management and provisioning API to integrate BlueTie into
third-party applications for vertical or custom solutions with
single sign-on.
Resellers can instantly brand the BlueTie application with their
logo and color scheme or their customers' brands. They can also
manage billing and customer support to generate services revenue
and deliver a completely private-labeled solution.
Resellers can join the BlueTie Channel Program at no cost. VARs, IT
consultants, and other resellers interested in learning more should
