AppRiver receives third annual 5-Star recognition in 2012 CRN Partner Programs Guide for providing IT solution providers with best channel program
GULF BREEZE, FL — April 12, 2012 —
AppRiver, LLC, a leading provider of email
messaging and Web
security solutions, today announced it has been named to
CRN's 2012 Partner Programs Guide and awarded a 5-Star
Cloud Vendors partner rating.
The 5-Star rating recognizes the elite subset of Partner Program
Guide vendors that give solution providers the best partnering
elements found in the IT Channel today.
"We are honored CRN recognizes our commitment to the
channel and the programs we have put in place to launch partner
success," said Brian Haynes, director of channel sales,
AppRiver. "At AppRiver, we work to ensure comfortable, long
lasting, revenue-generating relationships with partners by
providing innovative solutions and around-the-clock Phenomenal
Care™."
AppRiver was selected for the value it provides to the channel and
for the innovative way it meets customers' most pressing email and
Web protection needs. As new email threats and security
requirements emerge, customers look to their solution providers for
guidance about the best way to protect their systems. For that
reason, AppRiver's Partner Programs are designed to help solution
providers quickly and easily capitalize on their position as a
trusted advisor for their clients.
The 5-Star Partner Program Guide is assembled by UBM Channel
Research using a methodology it developed for assessing information
provided in vendors' Partner Program Guide applications. The
objective criteria include vendor investments in program offerings,
partner profitability, partner training, education and support,
marketing programs and resources, sales support and
communication.
"The companies listed in CRN's 2012 Partner Programs Guide
represent a comprehensive list of the best channel programs in the
market today," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial
director for UBM Channel's CRN. "The 5-star award is
reserved for vendors that understand that a successful partnership
does not rely solely on the technology. By offering their partners
tools, education and regular updates, vendors on this list go above
and beyond traditional support to ensure a mutually beneficial
partnership. We congratulate AppRiver for making this year's list
of 5-Star Partner Programs."
