MANAGE THE WAY YOU WANT
This scalability of the platform's design allows partners to onboard and manage an unlimited number of customers (multi-tier) - regardless of the number, type, location, or size of customers they add (multi-tenancy). The design also enables partners to satisfy the needs of distributed enterprises. The multi-tier, multi-tenant design makes managing customers easy, as partners can view and manage multiple customers from one screen or drill drown through multiple account layers. Within this, customers can easily delegate management to the partner of their choice, regardless of which partner onboarded them.
