VANCOUVER, Wash. and SANTA CLARA, Calif.--()--19Marketplace today announced its on-demand software service for small and medium businesses (SMBs) called Workplace2go. In partnership with Jamcracker, Workplace2go enables businesses to subscribe on a monthly basis to name-brand business applications that can be accessed from any internet-connected computer.
“By leveraging the Jamcracker Services Delivery Network, Workplace2go enables small and medium companies to focus on running their business, not technology”
Most SMBs do not have the technical or financial resources to purchase, install, configure, and maintain the hardware and software they need to run their business. For these business owners, technology is a utility that they want to buy and have delivered like the electricity that lights their offices. Working with Jamcracker, 19Marketplace created Workplace2go, which provides SMBs with the convenience of one stop shopping, one user name and password for each employee, and one customer support number for the software they need to get their work done.
eHealth company Eliminates IT Headaches
wired.MD®, an eHealth company that develops patient and consumer health education content that assists healthcare organizations to do a better job of managing costs, compliance, and customer satisfaction, is using Workplace2go to supply its IT infrastructure. “I need to spend my time growing our business and ensuring we are meeting or exceeding our customers’ expectations, not managing critical IT components,” said Mark Friess, Chief Executive Officer of wired.MD. “By moving our core IT office functions like email, data backup, and collaboration tools, from an internally managed environment to Workplace2go’s hosted subscription service, I will have more time to focus on business management and will have eliminated the day-to-day headaches associated with running IT.”
What you Need, When you Need It
Workplace2go offers the best known and most widely used productivity, security, and collaboration software programs on a monthly subscription basis. These applications can be purchased individually or packaged together. The Workplace2go initial online catalog includes:
- WebEx WebOffice
- WebEx Web Conferencing
- Microsoft Hosted Exchange E-mail
- Blackberry Mobile E-mail Service
- Good Technology Mobile E-mail Service (non-Blackberry devices)
- Arsenal Digital Remote Data Backup
- LivePrism Spam Protection
- McAfee TOPS (Desktop Security)
Additional brand name software will be added to Workplace2go and will be announced when available. This will enable customers to add additional productivity tools to their business quickly and with no up front license fees and no additional hardware.
“Software as a Service has created the opportunity for SMBs to buy software on their own terms and to be free from the endless care and feeding required by traditional packaged applications,” said John Krzykowski, General Manager of 19Marketplace. “Workplace2go is a click and buy solution that enables companies with limited or no IT staff to access and use the software applications they need over the Internet, without having to worry about managing that technology. Our service enhances productivity since our customers can work from anywhere as long as they have an Internet connection. All of this through one web site and one small monthly charge.”
“By leveraging the Jamcracker Services Delivery Network, Workplace2go enables small and medium companies to focus on running their business, not technology,” said Steve Crawford, vice president of marketing for Jamcracker. “By handling software hosting, maintenance, management, license agreements, and support, Workplace2go makes it easy for business owners to provide their employees with big company software without a big company technology department.”

Workplace2go’s full catalog of applications is available immediately. Pricing for individual services starts at $1.99 per month. For more information visit http://www.workplace2go.com/.
