"We've always focused on giving ConnectWise partners more value and flexibility in every way possible," commented ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini, noting that current customers will automatically receive the new price beginning with their next ConnectWise invoice. "By making the world's most innovative PSA solution available to the channel community at the lowest price we can provide, we are upholding our commitment to foster their long-term success. Through this 'pay-it-forward' business philosophy we believe we will all succeed."

"ConnectWise is very sensitive to what the channel is experiencing and needs year after year," added Peter Estes - president of Axis Business Solutions, the leading provider of customized procurement options to the service provider industry. "This reduced price makes ConnectWise's hosted solution an even easier choice for Axis and its partners. For just $39 per user, the benefits are more justifiable than ever in the form of improved operating efficiency, increased accountability and better profitability."

In addition to its hosted option, ConnectWise partners have three ways to acquire the on-premise capabilities - purchase, rental or payment plan - providing tangible ROI and functionality specifically for IT channel requirements.

"The decision to lower our prices by nearly 15 percent is a matter of simple economics," noted Bellini. "As the number of hosted users increases, our per-unit cost to offer this solution goes down. We decided to pass these savings along to existing partners to help bolster their profitability and to incent prospective partners into choosing a business operating system that's proven to deliver results."

The ConnectWise hosted model has been available for three years. Nearly 1,000 users currently leverage this option. Many are among the MSPmentor 100, a prestigious ranking of the industry's leading managed services providers (MSPs). Half the companies on this year's list are ConnectWise customers.
