Features:
Simplified customer on-boarding
With a built-in service provider portal, creating new customer accounts, provisioning services, and even managing customer billing and invoicing will be easier than ever!
One of the biggest challenges for a service provider is billing. Instead of integrating multiple solutions together, or crunching numbers manually in Excel, Veeam has included out-of-the box billing management functionality.
Remote backup monitoring and remote management
Maintain complete visibility into your customer's backup environment from within one powerful, easy-to-use UI.
Remote monitoring and management of your customer's backup and backup copy jobs is a breeze, and all customers can be remotely monitored and managed through a single port over SSL/TLS (no VPN required).
Your IT engineers will have more time and resources to do what they do best - pro-actively manage the customer backup environment while remaining focused on growing the business.
Multi-tenant customer portal
Your customers remain engaged with their own customer portal, which you can brand with your company logo.
You can also provide your customers with basic self-service monitoring and configuration to keep those common phone calls or repetitive support tickets at a minimum.
With the built-in multi-tenant customer portal, customers can set-up additional users and locations, monitor their own backup health, review cloud repository consumption and manage their monthly billing statements. Customers can maintain confidence in their managed backup service availability with their own view into how well their environment is protected and how prepared it is to cope with a potential disaster.
