Soonr, a file sharing company, is now in the heated process of attracting partners, including MSPs.
The company this week announced a new channel program, the Soonr Success Partner Program, that hopes to attract VARs, distributors, solution providers and, of course, the all mighty MSPs.
The new program is backed by an array of service plans for partners.

“Soonr is providing a comprehensive program to reach those customers through the partner they trust and with the services and support they need. The Soonr Success Partner Program offers Solution Providers, MSPs, VARs, and Distributors with a highly competitive program that enables their success, through substantial margin opportunities, Soonr Workplace Free Trials, a customized provisioning Partner Portal, 1:1 training and marketing support, and professional services opportunities,” the company said.
Part of the program is allowing MSPs to offer prospective clients free trials.
“To support partners in their business growth, Soonr is now offering Internal Use Licenses as well as deal registration for the Enterprise Plan with additional margin incentives. Training is offered for free to help build the partner’s business and APIs are available for the development of customized solutions,” the company said.
One partner is loving it already. “Since becoming a Soonr partner over a year ago, I’ve seen my customers increasingly embrace cloud solutions,” said Morris Northcutt, president of CloudEasy4. “Soonr Workplace is ideal for them with its ability to share large files easily and for enabling mobile productivity.”
Sharing Files a Hot Commodity
File sharing and sync is a hot area as more and more users are more and more mobile and use more and more devices. And instead of loading all the PC and mobile devices with client software and having the file sync and share engine on an in-house server, it is far easier to plunk it all in the cloud. This is true for small shops, and just as true for enterprises that must meet the demands of hundreds or thousands of increasing mobile and multi-device end-users.
The file sync and share space is now big enough that Forrester Research follows it as a category, as it did in its recent “Forrester Wave: File Sync and Share Platforms, Q3 2013” report.
“The explosive proliferation of powerful mobile devices has led to employee demand for solutions that will allow seamless access to enterprise content from any device. Solutions like Dropbox, originally developed for consumer usage, have barged into the enterprise, forcing IT to reconsider how to balance its portfolio against consumer demands,” Forrester wrote. “File sync and share is borne of two requirements: the need to sync files on all devices and share files with colleagues and partners. These two capabilities cover scenarios ranging from email attachment replacement to file system replacement, from casual partner collaboration to compliant workflow in regulated industries.”
