Jamcracker brings SaaS to Telstra

Jamcracker, a SaaS solution company, announced a partnership today with Telstra, Australia's largest telco. Telstra will use Jamcracker's delivery network to expand its IP services portfolio for the SMB market. The Jamcracker applications will be bundled along with Telstra's existing services and branded as "T-Suite." Applications include Microsoft Xchange and McAfee security services.

Jamcracker has compiled a true federated platform that allows users to process applications through Jamcracker's master distribution agreements, according to Steve Crawford, vice president of marketing.

"Our channel-side, private-label marketplaces allow carriers to source from our catalog and resell under their own brand, creating value for both partners," Crawford said. "Telstra is also recruiting local software-as-a-service providers using our integration platform, whose applications can then be resold and integrated into our other partner's platforms through our redistribution services."

Crawford said Jamcracker looks at every distribution partner as a solution partner as well. He said Jamcracker and Telstra's partnership should bring excellent functionality and reliability to small business customers.
