Verio Labs - Saas and Value-Add Applications

This is the biggest release of Signature ever, and we are proud to introduce a complete redesign of both the front end information architecture and the back end control panel infrastructure.

The improvements featured in Signature 4.0 are a direct result of customer feedback, internal testing and usage as well as “visioneering” from our Product Management and Engineering teams. We wanted to build you a platform that is flexible for your future growth.

We think the new and improved version is pretty cool, but more importantly, we believe we made changes that ultimately provide you with a more powerful platform to run your business.

We want you to have the ability to try this out firsthand, so we are offering every reseller a free preview account that can be used for customization and translation prior to our October launch. You will have the ability to give us feedback as well as customize and translate the control panel weeks in advance to a production launch. All the changes you make will be available for launch, so there will be no wasted effort.

We are limiting free preview accounts to current ViaVerio resellers and you will need your Backroom userid and password to authenticate. To request an account visit:

You can read more about Signature 4.0 changes in upcoming posts on this site.  In the meantime, here are some of the highlights:

• A completely redesigned user interface.A new graphical control panel, drag-n-drop customization of the dashboard, consistent usability across the control panel, and an “auto-detect” design that optimizes the user interface depending on your browser.

• Simplified control panel layout. A new single-view dashboard organizes and presents features in a “one-click-away” layout making it easier for users to find what they want.

• CSS and XML based architecture. The real power of this release is the new behind-the-scenes CSS and XML architecture. This release takes advantage of this architecture. Future functionality will permit you to leverage these layers for unique customizations.

• Speed improvements. Selective Control Panel caching, strategically placed AJAX and Apache-based bandwidth compression provide a much-improved user experience.

• We speak your language. All changes are 100% internationalized. You have the ability to offer English or Japanese, or customize with a language of your choice.

• Other enhancements. Signature 4.0 includes a variety of features – such as a “What’s New” section and other system improvements.

• Labs.verio.net. Customer feedback has influenced this new version of Signature. We value this response and recently redesigned labs.verio.net as a result. We will be adding forums, polling and other interactivity to cultivate a Unix Shared Products community online.

Signature 4.0 will launch in October. Try it out. Let us know what you think. We can’t wait to release and develop this product with your support.

Thank You,

- The Unix Shared Web Hosting & Value Added Services Team
