“The cPanel promotion is a great opportunity for those who have wanted to try a control panel in the past, but were unsure of the added value delivered,” stated Shelby Garlock, Director, Marketing for Codero. “By offering a simple and intuitive interface, cPanel allows users to operate their servers and domains with ease, as well as set up complex configurations without having to know code.”

Designed to automate website and server management, the cPanel control panel will ease the process of web page creation, activation of email accounts, as well as the installation of applications required for blogs, forums and shopping carts. For server administrators and web hosts who need features such as server alerts, spam monitoring or even want to set up white-label reseller accounts, cPanel combined with Web Host Manager (WHM) provides an easy-to-use and versatile alternative for managing servers.

Venali Snapshot
A graduate of West Point and The Wharton School, John Poncy also served as a Special Operations Officer and EDS executive. With his background and career experiences, he brings an acute understanding of critical success factors and the operational excellence provided by industry-leading uptime. His experience in the technology arena gives him the confidence and sense of customer requirements to cut to the chase when it comes to talking about his business.
For Poncy, it’s all about providing solid products, backed by top-notch service – and finding out from his clients what else Venali can provide to enrich their experience with the company.
“The first question I always ask customers is ‘how are you going to use our service?’ because that tells me exactly the product that will satisfy their requirements,” he notes. “Our customers want rapid ROI, not a promise of savings in two years. They typically have a target on their heads to reduce costs, so the application they choose has to work well every time. I know we’ve been successful when they ask me what other services we provide.”
Venali’s portfolio comprises products and services for three customer categories:
• Enterprise – These Venali customers are looking for a platform that’s reliable, secure and scalable, which can be deployed across multiple locations, users and platforms. Also important is the opportunity to demonstrate a ‘green’ message by reducing paper and energy usage.

• Channel Partners – To expand its business, Venali offers its capabilities through channel partners who desire to include fax capabilities in their services portfolio.

• Small Office/Home Office – For these customers, Venali provides fax services from the devices they use for e-mail. With Web-based services and a simple pricing model that starts at $9.95, these customers want faxing that’s as easy as e-mail and requires very little customer support.

Because the Venali customer base spans multiple industries, the company must meet specific compliance requirements. From Sarbanes-Oxley to PCI, HIPAA and SAS 70, the team understands how they measure up and exceed customer expectations for each.
Looking to the future, Poncy says his product development team is looking to additional industries, expanded geographies and to new products and services, all with an eye to what’s next for his company.
