Magazine [March 15, 2004]
ENGLEWOOD,
Colo., March 15, 2004 - Verio, a leader in global IP
solutions, today announced that VARBusiness Magazine
has awarded a five-star rating, the publication’s
highest honor, to the successful viaVerio® Partner
Program. VARBusiness editors reviewed more than 280
partner programs for the coveted five-star rating in
the magazine’s tenth annual Partner Programs Guide
survey. The designation reflects the breadth and depth
of the channel program offerings and benefits to viaVerio
partners.
The
viaVerio Partner Program provides small to medium enterprise
(SME) resellers and larger channel partners with access
to a variety of high-value hosting services, including
hosting on a dedicated, shared, virtual private server
or managed private server platform, in addition to a
range of Internet services such as managed services
and network access. In addition, viaVerio resellers
receive volume discounts, private label opportunities,
and technical, sales and marketing support based on
program participation.
“Through
their expertise, solution providers add value to Verio’s
products, ensuring proper, cost-effective implementation
of technologies needed to drive business forward,”
said Robert C. Demarzo, VARBusiness editorial director.
“This combination makes for a powerful business
solution offering to corporations and institutions.”
“VARBusiness
is one of the industry’s principal authorities
on the indirect channel, and we’re honored that
our viaVerio program has been recognized with the magazine’s
five-star rating,” said Verio president and CEO
Greg Conley. “Verio has consistently invested
more resources and expertise into our channel program,
creating value-added services such as a dedicated partner
portal, training, Web seminars and roadshows. This five-star
rating affirms our dedication to the channel and we
intend to continue this focus throughout 2004 and beyond.”
Verio’s
channel program has seen tremendous success over the
past year. In 2003, the company increased its enterprise
hosting and access partner base with the addition of
more than 200 new partners, added nearly 800 small and
medium enterprise hosting partners, and migrated more
than 50,000 small and medium enterprise hosting accounts
from outside providers to Verio.
Building
off of this success, Verio has recently announced several
promotions serving both its small-to-medium enterprise
resellers, as well as its large enterprise hosting and
network services partners. These promotions offer partners
cash incentives to streamline accounts under the viaVerio
program.
