[SatNews] Expand Networks now has an innovative pricing structure for service providers, telcos and public/private cloud providers, enabling them to procure its market leading WAN optimization solution on a monthly subscription based ‘pay-as-you-sell’ model. Mirroring service providers own commercial offerings, the new pricing model shifts costs from CAPEX to OPEX and delivers profitable recurring revenue streams immediately.

The ‘all inclusive’ subscription cost covers all infrastructure requirements — Accelerators; licensing; management and maintenance - and is charged on a quarterly basis over a 2 to 5 year contract term. Expand is currently involved in advanced conversations with a number service providers interested in signing up to its new service provider partner program. Available from July 1st, Expand is the only WAN optimization vendor offering this unique pricing structure in the market today. This radical approach to WAN optimization procurement enables service providers to:

• Choose their own infrastructure – as much as is needed, when it is needed
• Choose their licensing, management and maintenance requirements
• Pay only when their customers come on board
• Pay bills on a quarterly subscription basis
• Choose required contract term (2 – 5 years)
• Gain immediate profitable recurring revenue streams

As part of its go-to-market strategy for its new commercial offering, Expand is launching its new ‘Managed Service Provider’ partner program, and is seeking service provider partners (MSPs, Telcos and Cloud providers) that are currently active in designing, building, implementing and managing services to end user organizations. Based on commitment, competencies and capabilities, the benefits of the program include preferential discounts, technical support services and access to sales and marketing resources.
