According to CRN, emerging technology vendors like VirtualConnect offer superior technology, more robust margins and uncompromising technical support. A Mailprotector VAR Partner in Australia offers their perspective on why Mailprotector was included in this elite group of IT managed service providers. CRN is a print and online publication that provides news analysis and perspective to ValueAdded Resellers (VARs) of ITsolutions.
Sydney, NSW Australia (PRWEB) June 22, 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 ValueAdded Resellers (VARs) of ITsolutions.
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 and began marketing their antispam, antivirus and attack protection solution to clients in Australia and New Zealand through Sydneybased RealTime IT in 2005. "We immediately focused our efforts on serving the Australian VAR since these folks work closely with their clients as trusted IT advisers," said RealTime CEO Daryl Hunt. "By providing our VARs with quality service and support and giving them a compelling revenuesharing model Mailprotector's reach into the marketplace is greatly extended." One Eleven Media, a web development company in Sydney, is a reseller and a customer of Mailprotector. "Reselling Mailprotector increases our revenue stream and helps cement our relationship with clients since it provides such a valuable service," said One Eleven Director, MinhDang.
"Traditional antispam programs only filter spam on a single computer. We have clients who travel frequently, often without their computer, and they especially love Mailprotector. Before Mailprotector, they would waste valuable time deleting spam when checking email via a webmail interface. Now, with Mailprotector protecting their domains, this hassle is eliminated." One Eleven Media's infrastructure also benefits from Mailprotector. "Spam never reaches our mail servers and allows them to run more efficiently, which in turn allows us to serve our clients even better," MinhDang concluded.
According to CRN, emerging technologies like Mailprotector offer superior functionality, 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: Hunt is in daily contact with VirtualConnect President Brett Pyle, who also holds the role of Director of Partner Programs, and Hunt is personally involved with every VAR that comes on board. "It has to be this way" says Pyle. "Mailprotector is a great email security solution, but because we've chosen not to invest in a heavy sales and marketing organization, customers don't know about us unless it's through our VAR Partners." CRN's announcement should certainly help get the word out.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.
