We've got some good news for partners: Faronics Deepfreeze has just been added to the Third Party products install in NOWS SBE.
To install the Deepfreeze trial just login to your NOWS SBE administration. You should see DeepFreeze appear as a Third Party download. Click the install button to add Deepfreeze to your available products (this will not fully install the software, just download and put it in the Add/Remove page).
Faronics is the first vendor to make their software available in NOWS SBE version 2. Quickbooks will be added next in conjunction with their latest release. We hope to continue to work with third party software solutions that meet a wide variety of customer needs. We are partnering with vendors who are experts in specific areas to increase service opportunities for our partners. Partners need to be able to go into small business customers with complete solutions. The NOWS SBE team knows that we have a stellar product, but business customers need so many other applications in order to compete in this global economy. By partnering with the best of breed, we hope to enhance the opportunities for our partners.
