Kerio Awarded 5-Star Rating in CRN’s 2014 Partner Program Guide
For the fourth year in a row, Kerio Technologies receives a 5-Star rating in the CRN 2014 Partner Program Guide. The annual directory is the definitive listing of technology vendors that service solution providers or provide products through the IT channel and we are proud to be part of the elite 5-Star group.
The Kerio Partner Program has 6,000 channel partners who sell and support Kerio Connect, Kerio Control UTM security appliance, and Kerio Operator VoIP PBX appliance as well as a cloud collaboration platform Samepage.io. Collectively, we support over 60,000 customers around the globe.
"Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star rating recognizes the very best channel programs available in the market today to help solution providers determine which vendor delivers the best partner elements for their individual business goals," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company that runs the awards.
All of us at Kerio work very hard to make sure we support our partners as best as we can. Last year we switched the Kerio Partner Portal to Samepage from Relayware. The Samepage-powered Partner Portal gave Kerio partners real-time updates specific to their region and - more importantly - bolstered very open dialog with Kerio and other partners in the community. It was pretty exciting to see our very own product being used by our huge partner network. Many of our partners were inspired to deploy Samepage for their customers.
The next few months are very busy. We will launch a new Partner Locator by Bullseye. Just like the Kerio Partner Portal powered by Samepage, the new Partner Locator is also tightly integrated with Salesforce CRM. For partners and customers alike it means more accurate and up-to-date information in the Locator.
Our team is getting ready for our annual Partner Forum in Sydney, Australia in April and in May we host our European distributors in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
The 2014 Partner Program Guide is featured on CRN.com and the 5-Star Partners listing is highlighted in the April issue of CRN.
