How can I become a Business Service Provider (BSP)?

BSPs are partners who host mailboxes for end-users in a multi-tenant environment. There are three levels for BSPs: Registered Partner, Silver and Gold. To become a Zimbra BSP Partner, you must apply, and then be approved by Zimbra. As well as this, to work with us, you will need to be based in EMEA, and we require a 12-month, minimum monthly revenue commitment before Onboarding and Set Up for the Zimbra BSP Program can be completed.

The minimum commitment (Partner level) is €148 or £126. You will be billed on the maximum monthly usage of mailboxes reported using a monitoring tool you will have to install on your servers. There are 4 types of mailbox you will be charged for: Professional, Standard 2, Business Plus and Business. To meet the minimum commitment level you would need to provision about 1000 of the Business mailboxes, or less than 200 Professional mailboxes.

If these usage figures seem out of your reach, or you want a halfway house whilst you build up your customer base, you can still benefit by joining a reseller scheme run by one of our existing Zimbra Cloud Service Providers. Contact us and we will put you in touch with a suitable Zimbra Partner.
