Our partners have played a key role in the rapid growth of ftopia. Their knowledge of – and relationships with – local customers are essential. That’s why we want to build a lasting partnership with them, based on a fair sharing of revenues.

The program offers our partners a strong potential for growth, in an economic climate that has not yet fully recovered from the aftermath of the global financial crisis. This program is designed for SI, IT services companies (development and web agencies) and resellers of software or hardware (VARS…). ftopia meets the needs of their customers – SMEs and professionals – looking for a simple, effective and secure way to share their documents online. The solution is a replacement or valuable addition to collaborative tools such as an intranet / extranet solution, secure VPN connectivity, file servers and ftp sites.

Partners may either act as referrers or directly resell ftopia – in both cases, they can access an online dashboard for managing their customer accounts and commission fees in real time. The service can also be sold as white label.

These are the main advantages of partnering with ftopia:

No startup cost, no cost of software development, no technical infrastructure to manage, free technical support via email.

New portfolio offer, new selling opportunities, high commissions guaranteed as the subscription is renewed, ability to charge a value added to the customer.

Free access to an administrative interface to track subscriptions and client renewals, no revenue target imposed.

Not very handy when it’s necessary to recover all contents from a folder or from a complete workspace…
Now, however you can recover multiple files in only one operation!

The multiple download feature makes it possible to select the files to be downloaded and to download them in a single zip file. You can thus download the whole file, or a whole workspace, in only one operation.

To download the whole workspace, just use the action menu at the top of the document list:

This option is particularly useful when a new member of a workspace must take note of all of the information in one go. Also, the structure of the files in your workspace is preserved in the zip file!

We are very happy to be supported by Microsoft through a global program like BizSpark. Being sponsored by Microsoft is recognition of the relevance of our offer and its potential in our market. Moreover, this partnership and the privileged access to the Microsoft sales and technological resources will enable us to accelerate our growth, still preserving our advance.

Jamespot.pro is available in SaaS mode and does not require any installation on the user’s workstation, exactly like ftopia which offers collaborative workspaces to professionals in order to store and share their files on the Internet in SaaS mode. Particularly useful to SME customers as well as to professional organizations, freelancers, and home-workers, the ftopia solution makes it possible to instantaneously exchange any document with distant third parties or colleagues, in a completely safe and secure fashion.

Alain Garnier, CEO of Jamespot: “Our customers are confronted with increased dematerialization, which is combined with strict security requirements as well as storage of critical files like contracts, invoices, board communications…. This is the specific need that our partnership with ftopia answers. To a customer, it is completely seamless. He just has to add the ftopia module to the Jamespot.pro solution. The ftopia module has been added to our catalog of existing modules for business management. ”

ftopia and Jamespot together offer simplicity, effectiveness and agility to their customers. In a few clicks, professionals can, because of the interaction between these two services, share all of the information which is of interest to their ecosystem instantaneously: in “spotting” (“Spot”: to publish on the Spot, in a click, using a web button) the best of the Web and by sharing their professional files in a secured and customised workspace with their professional and business community.

The alliance between our companies also allows professionals and firms to drastically reduce their costs of ownership for a complete collaborative solution. With ftopia and Jamespot.pro, all types of files and all pertinent information circulating on the Internet can be gathered and shared very simply and in real time with internal and external teams in order to gain effectiveness at an affordable cost.

Professionals today must be able to collaborate extensively and easily. They must ensure a better level of knowledge management in order to remain competitive in their respective markets. It is the concept of the effective Extended Enterprise to which ftopia and Jamespot.pro are attached.
We are delighted to partner with Jamespot. It seemed natural to us to set up this partnership as we pursue the same goal while offering our customers perfectly complementary added-value Internet services.

François-Pierre Le Page, Founder and Managing Director of Mobilegov France S.A.: “Security is often viewed as an obstacle in the use of PC applications. At Mobilegov however, we believe it to be a facilitator by supporting the adoption of SaaS services by companies” declares  “This partnership reaffirms this belief, as it will allow our customers to combine identity-based security with the simplicity of use of the online storage spaces offered by ftopia”.

A value-added offer for the professional

ftopia provides collaborative sharing spaces and file storage online. Particularly useful to SME’s as well as to professional organizations and free lancers, ftopia makes it possible to exchange any document efficiently and easily with remote third parties or colleagues, in a safe and simple way – without the need for IT assistance.

The integration of these solutions will therefore make it possible for the professional user to create virtual spaces protected by two-factor authentication, while being freed from traditional tokens, key fobs etc., which are expensive to purchase and difficult to manage. Moreover, the joint solution will be available in SaaS mode, without requiring new IT investment or software installation on the users PC’s or laptops.

Safety is a legitimate concern of any individual or organization in adopting SaaS solutions. At ftopia, we have made it an essential element of our product development strategy. We are very pleased about this partnership with Mobilegov whose unique authentication technology will provide unrivaled protection to our customer’s data

You can now decide for each room when notifications should be sent: as-it-happens (each time files are added), once a day, or once a week (you can even combine the three options!). In addition, each user can change this setting in his or her profile, overriding the default room settings with his or her own preferences.

My notification settings

Notification settings let you solve the issue in a simple and flexible manner. The default notification setting is now daily, for both new rooms and new members. You can change it anytime depending on your preferences or your needs.

Let us know if it’s useful to you!

We are both pleased and proud to launch today the first official version of ftopia!

It is always difficult to press the red button .. There’s always a feeling that an essential function is lacking, a critical explanation is missing, or that we’re not quite ready yet to communicate with our customers etc.

We have lots of improvements planned and under development! Those of you who have tested the beta version haven’t been short of ideas, many of which will be converted in features and launched later this year. However, we have chosen to open the service without waiting anymore, and release new features on an ongoing basis, applying agile development methods.

Hence this blog, where we will regularly introduce actual and planned ftopia new services. You are welcome to discuss and comment them here.

We will also use the blog to share our experience in developing an internet business as ftopia. Why do this rather than just publish news about the company?
There are two answers to that. First, we are on a very dynamic market, where the needs are huge – but also where the offerings are multiplying at a dizzying speed. In such an environment, technological innovation is rarely sufficient. It is the relationship that we can forge with our customers and partners who can make a difference – sharing ideas, taking your advice, increasing opportunities to tailor  to your expectations not only our technology but also our business practices and our technical support.

As the Hollywood line goes …”help us to help you”.”
