Driveway this week joined forces with free eBusiness service center Bigstep.com to deliver online storage service to small businesses.
As part of the agreement, Bigstep.com has built a co-branded service which allows
Driveway members to use Bigstep.coms services to create
their own company web sites, communicate with customers, take credit card
orders, and market their sites. Driveway will receive payment for each
member who establishes a Bigstep.com account through driveway.com. Prior to the partnership, Driveway had more than 2.5 million members.
“Driveway.com creates a virtual network, allowing small business
professionals to store and organize their information in a universally
available location,” said Andrew Beebe, chief executive officer,
Bigstep.com.
Bigstep.com members will have access to driveway.coms anytime, anywhere
online storage services providing customers a secure place on the Web to
hold company documents, including corporate logos, newsletters, press
releases and basic reports, as well as personal files.
“Our shared members will be able to use
Driveway to store all of their online files and images to be used in their
Bigstep.com web sites,” said Mike Zukerman, vice president, business development, Driveway.
