DENVER, CO - Axcient, a leader in business availability and cloud migration solutions for Managed Service Providers (MSPs), has announced a lead generation program designed to help MSPs capture new business opportunities. As a value- added service, this program is free for all Axcient partners.
“To help our partners grow and expand their businesses, we created a lead-gen program so they can easily acquire new clients and opportunities,” said Corey Banner, director of Partner Success.

are taking the end-user leads we generate and qualify each month and sharing them directly with our partners—available through the newly released Axcient Marketing Portal.
"With Axcient, partners are getting back more time because they only need to go to one place to manage their Axcient products, billing, support requests, and marketing.”
One of the top challenges MSPs face is attracting new clients. Axcient is making it easy for partners to acquire new clients
through the new lead-gen program.
As part of Axcient’s digital marketing
efforts, the company is consistently generating end-user leads in the North America and the U.K.
When the leads come in, Axcient qualifies the leads, and then brings the opportunities to partners. The leads can be accessed through the recently launched Axcient Marketing Portal (AMP), which is also seamlessly integrated into the Axcient Business Availability Portal.
“Axcient’s partner support team saves us time and helps us add new clients cost- effectively,” said Kevin Richards, Technical Operations Manager at Stratus Information Systems.
