ActionStep, a New Zealand Software as a Service (SaaS) provider, has signed an agreement with UK based Deskforce to deliver ActionStep’s CRM+ hosted solution to Deskforce’s 20,000-plus customer base in the UK and continental Europe.

Deskforce will also target new market sectors with CRM+, via its established network of Managed Service Providers.

Deskforce is a leading provider of SaaS desktop management tools to the UK and European markets. ActionStep’s hosted CRM+ solution integrates perfectly with Deskforce’s established product portfolio and enhances its strategy to become a leading centre of excellence for SaaS-based applications. With six years’ experience in the SaaS space, Deskforce will be launching a number of new solutions in the coming months to widen and strengthen its service offering.

Paul Sadlier, CEO, Deskforce EU, comments: “ActionStep’s philosophy and approach is in perfect harmony with Deskforce’s and with market demands. Today, customers want and expect solutions that deliver bottom-line business benefits, not me-too solutions. Delivering applications as a hosted solution, securely, anywhere globally, improves these benefits both financially and operationally.”

Ted Jordan, founder and CEO, ActionStep, says: “We’re excited about our launch into the UK market. The relationship with Deskforce means we will be able to make an immediate impact. With a large, existing client base, and a proven track record in the SaaS space, Deskforce is an ideal channel for ActionStep.”
