What is the Zee Designs Developers Program?
Major software executives have suggested that someday all software will be delivered via Software as a Service (SaaS). As the technology delivery model evolves, it is critical for developers of all types to evaluate SaaS as an option. Zee Designs offers Web content management and related services as a SaaS, and our Developers Program has been created to enable our partner Web agencies, ad agencies and system integrators to implement ZD-CMS™ for their clients.
Unlike most software services, the ZD-CMS™ product is full featured, fully customizable, and easy for developers to work with. It’s straightforward for developers to learn how to implement the system. In fact, we provide free training, free developer support, and a complete set of developer reference documents and “how-to” documents.
Our Developers benefit by capturing services revenue from implementing and customizing the ZD-CMS™. They capture services revenue from integrating content management with other tools such as analytics, email campaign management, e-commerce, ZD-eNews™, and other features. Developers work with their customers to get the content uploadeded, which is often a large project in itself, training the end-users, and project managing the work. Developers also do their traditional work on the site, of course, including design, information architecture, strategy consulting, and custom application development. And finally, any Developer can choose to sell a support agreement to the customer, to provide ongoing services and support for the technology infrastructure.
The advantages for our Developers are many:
- Provide your customers with a world-class, highly reliable platform from the market leader
- No software to purchase, write, or support
- In the unlikely event the system goes down, we get the call at 3:00 AM, not you
- All infrastructure is provided – hardware, network, power, rackspace, supporting hardware
- All management and maintenance is provided – backups, disaster recovery, security management, 24/7 monitoring and response, guaranteed performance and uptime, and so on.
- Integrated offerings are available in related areas – search, email, ZD-eNews™, analytics, CRM, Web hosting
- Simple contracting process – customer simply fills out an online form, and off you go
