Greer, SC (PRWEB) June 11, 2007 -- VirtualConnect Technologies, providers of Mailprotector® a comprehensive managed email security service, has been cited by CRN as one of 2007's 163 "Emerging Tech Dynamos," and one of their Top 50 "Vendors You Should Know." CRN is a print and online publication that provides news analysis and perspective to Value-Added Resellers (VARs) of IT solutions.
The June 4th issue is CRN's annual compilation of emerging technology vendors that deliver technologically superior solutions compared to those offered by the dominant industry players and recognize the value that VARs bring to the equation.
Mailprotector was launched seven years ago. Their VAR Partner Program was born early on when they noticed some Mailprotector clients reselling the anti-spam, anti-virus and attack protection solution to their clients. "We decided then and there that this was a channel worth catering to," says VirtualConnect President Brett Pyle. "These folks have the ear of their clients and work with them as trusted IT advisers. By focusing on providing our VARs with quality service and support and giving them a compelling revenue-sharing model (VARs reselling Mailprotector at the retail prices posted online stand to net 30 - 80% of the total margin), our reach into the marketplace is exponentially extended."
West Chester, PA-based IT Edge has been providing network and computer solutions to their base of customers since 1989. They became a Mailprotector VAR Partner in 2005 and have been impressed with the results: "Mailprotector provides the email security needs for our 80+ clients while providing a new profit center for our business" says Walt Ball, IT Edge's President and Founder. "All of our clients agree that Mailprotector is great … an integral part of their business."
Ball is not alone in his assessment.
Sid Payne, President of ViaTek, a full service IT consultancy group based in Louisville, CO agrees: "We have been extremely satisfied with Mailprotector. We've used them for several years and have virtually no problems. Their service is so critical that as a managed service provider we pretty much require our customers to sign up for this service. The few clients we have that do not use Mailprotector are still dealing with these issues while our Mailprotector clients rarely experience spam and never have viruses hit their mail server." Payne concludes: "We would not go any other way."
According to CRN, emerging technology vendors like VirtualConnect offer superior technology, more robust margins and uncompromising technical support. Essentially, they're reshaping the information technology industry in a way that the industry giants simply cannot. Given their small size, these emerging vendors must be innovative to compete. It also enables the VARs who partner with them to gain direct access to both the top technical talent within the organizations who can help them solve their client's issues and the top company executives as well.
Case in point: At VirtualConnect, in addition to his responsibilities as company President, Pyle also holds the role of Director of Partner Programs and he's personally involved with every VAR that comes on board. "It has to be this way" says Pyle. "We know these guys are our bread and butter and we're committed to doing whatever it takes to satisfy them and their clients." Pyle's quick to add: "In the dynamic world of spam and virus fighting, that's not always easy. It's an ever-changing battle front and we're constantly adapting to new techniques employed by the spammers. It's tough to always get it right. Sometimes we 'zig' when they 'zag' and it can get a bit hectic."
CRN's announcement this week is certainly evidence that they must be doing more right than wrong.
Today, the portion of VirtualConnect's total revenue that's generated through the Channel approaches 50% and top management is more convinced than ever that a satisfied and profitable VAR Partner community is key to their long-term success.
