Press Releases October 11, 2004 New Business Partner Program from Kerio Technologies targets high end SMBs – focus on superior service and support Certification offers financial and marketing incentives to qualified resellers SANTA CLARA, California – Kerio Technologies, Inc., providers of Internet messaging and firewall software for small to medium-sized (SMB) networks, today announces its Business Partner Program, allowing sales and solution partners access to additional resources direct from Kerio in order to better sell and support Kerio WinRoute Firewall or Kerio MailServer. Kerio is the one of the few companies to target the SMB messaging and firewall markets with such a program. The program consists of two levels of partnership participation including Certified Reseller Partners and Preferred Reseller Partners. Each type of partner must pass the Kerio Certified Security Administrators (KCSA) exam and resellers can reach Preferred Partner status by demonstrating qualified expertise in Kerio technology and meeting set sales goals. Partners interested in passing the KCSA certification program can train online at Kerio’s web site. The certification test is designed to reflect the culmination of knowledge derived from real-world experience with Internet security and Kerio Technologies’ products. Partners with previous experience in messaging and firewall solutions as well as three – six months of familiarity with Kerio products should be able to pass the test. “As an reseller since 1983, I have the experience to appreciate the value of Kerio’s suite of products, and have looked for opportunities to offer increased support and margins to my customers,” said Tony Lawrence, owner of A.P. Lawrence and Kerio Certified Reseller. “After taking the KCSA exam, I understand how seriously Kerio takes this program. The certification exam accurately and thoroughly tested my knowledge of the Internet security industry and of Kerio’s technology, which clearly demonstrates Kerio’s commitment to high quality partners.” “The KCSA certification exam and Business Partner Program were developed to help us better identify and reward partners that understand our suite of security and messaging software products and are committed to supporting our customers,” said James Gudeli, Vice President of Strategic Business Relations for Kerio. "As we continue to expand the feature set and scalability of our products and attract larger-sized clients, this program will ensure that we refer the proper caliber of partner to ensure smooth deployments.” Kerio’s Certified Reseller Partners not only receive recognition and participation in various marketing programs, but they also receive an additional margin on Kerio product sales after passing the KCSA exam. Preferred Reseller Partners benefit from higher margins to increase revenues. “As a Preferred Reseller, I have been able to take advantage of lead sharing in cooperation with Kerio’s sales team,” said Shawn Roberts, CTO and Principal Consultant for nPlusOne. “This program is such a benefit to any reseller supporting and selling Kerio products, that I would highly recommend they take the KCSA exam in order to boost revenues.” Details of the Kerio Certified Security Administrators program and the test itself can be found at: http://www.kerio.com/kbp_program.html About Kerio Technologies Inc.
