The quick and easy integration of Retarus‘ solutions into PlanetOne’s portfolio has been key in the rapid expansion of new opportunities and new businesses. From a day-to-day perspective, the added growth of PlanetOne has increased Retarus’ partnership revenue development significantly, representing nearly 22% of all new business in the last quarter of 2015. The simple to use, clearly defined value and use cases of Retarus’ Messaging Services, has allowed PlanetOne’s agents to more effectively leverage existing customers and create new streams of revenue.
“2015 was an exceptional year of sales success and partner enablement for Retarus and PlanetOne, and we’re just getting warmed up,” said Lauren Shapiro, president, PlanetOne. “Demand for cloud messaging services continues to rise, especially in vertical markets lined with regulations and compliance mandates. Retarus’ cloud faxing solution is easy to market, easy to sell and easy to use. It’s a money-maker for our channel partners and a must-have technology for businesses nationwide.”

The synergy between both teams is unparalleled, making it key to our joint success. In addition, our user-friendly services are easy to sell and implement which has allowed us to close large deals in record time. We are looking forward to another year of exponential growth with PlanetOne and its channel partners,” said Stefan Rath President and CEO of Retarus US.
