2 new features you might want to check out:
1. Customer Objects
ZiftONE has introduced a new feature called Custom Objects that lets their customers collect and store partner data in one place. This feature is designed for channel partners managers who need to collect information from their partners. With Custom Objects, you can build custom forms and decide which fields to collect within them. You can also integrate the forms into your CRM, export them as a CSV, and use them for event registration, surveys, and more. The collected information can be viewed under the partner in Partner Explorer or in the Custom Object tab. ZiftONE Custom Objects offer transformative flexibility to collect and store partner-related information, making partner data management simple and easy.
Here are a few examples of how Custom Objects can be used:

2. Premium Instant Portal Translation
ZiftONE already offers 23 languages for translating menus and site structure associated with out-of-the-box features. But now, we're thrilled to announce the release of a premium version called Automatic Translations, which extends that functionality to text on portal pages - including on pages with customized HTML.
Third-party translation tools have evolved over the past few months, and AWS has launched a brand new auto-translate service that was plugged into the ZiftONE platform. It auto-translates text blocks and custom HTML blocks on custom pages. If you want to customize the translation given, an admin user can go in and override it. Once it’s turned on, partners can select their language of preference in the portal and it will instantly translate the page.
While there is a cost associated with the service, we believe that it's well worth it. This premium feature will enable you to deploy a multi-language partner program quickly and deliver a better user experience for your international partners. Please note that this feature does not support campaign translation. While machine translation tools are helpful, they can’t replace human translations - at least, not yet! Linguistic and cultural adjustments are necessary to help you communicate your brand and stay true to your global strategy.
