SpectorSoft Corporation (http://www.SpectorSoft.com) -- known worldwide for its award-winning, best-selling PC and Internet Activity monitoring software -- announced its Partner Program was certified as a Gold 5-Star Overall Winner in the VARBusiness 2008 Partner Program Guide.

The CMP Channel publication acknowledges the commitment and strength of a vendor's partner programs for its Channel resellers, IT integrators, and technology consultants.

"Receiving Gold 5-Star from an acknowledged industry leader like VARBusiness is a tremendous honor and achievement," said Sharon Woolley, SpectorSoft Channel Sales Director. "Many companies strive for years to achieve this rating and we're elated to have made it in a relatively short time. It's not only a testimony to our products and people, but also a clear indication of the commitment and strength of our Partner Program."

Woolley attributed SpectorSoft's success to providing its Partners with the ability to demo, sell, install and support the most comprehensive PC and Internet activity monitoring software products in one of the fastest growing security segments in the technology marketplace today. With products like Spector 360 leading the way, SpectorSoft Partners have the perfect solution for customers concerned with inappropriate use of the web, insider threat protection, adherence to policy and compliance requirements, and productivity issues.

SpectorSoft was also certified a Silver 5-Star Winner in the Marketing Support, Partner Profitability, Channel Operations, and Partner Recruitment elements of the awards program.    
Inclusion in the "Gold 5-Star" category places SpectorSoft in good company. Some of last year's winners included CA, Cisco, Citrix, HP, Fujitsu, and IBM.

Each year, hundreds of companies are called upon by VARBusiness to submit entries for their partner programs, and these programs are reviewed and measured across six partner program elements including Sales Support, Marketing Support, Partner Profitability, Channel Operations, Partner Recruitment, and Communications.

"The quality of a vendor's partner program reflects the true commitment they have to the thriving Solution Provider Channel, and this year's 5-Star Partner Programs Guide winners are the cream of the crop of Channel-friendly vendors," added Robert C. DeMarzo, CMP Channel Vice President and Editorial Director.
