STORServer Recognizes Innovative Information Solutions as an Elite Channel Partner

March 23, 2010 - PRLog -- STORServer®, a leading provider of data backup solutions for the mid-market, announces today that Innovative IS has reached its Elite channel partner status, the company’s highest level of partnership. To qualify as an Elite STORServer partner, Innovative IS generated $500,000 or more in STORServer revenue and completed required sales and technical certifications.

“Selling exclusively through a reseller channel means that the success of our company relies on the success of our channel partners,” said Kevin Burns, vice president of worldwide marketing for STORServer. “Our partner program is designed to ensure that our reseller partners, especially those achieving Elite status, are rewarded for their commitment to STORServer and for developing their expertise as data backup solution specialists. We’re excited to recognize Innovative IS as an Elite channel partner.”

The new SP3 (STORServer Partner Program) strategic, three-tiered program, announced in January 2010, is designed to fuel growth for both STORServer and its partners by rewarding existing resellers and attracting high-quality new partners. The three levels of achievement are: Select, Premier and Elite.  

Among the incentives that only STORServer’s Elite partners receive are higher margins, training discounts, a direct line to technical sales resources, representation on the Partner Advisory Council, executive sponsorship and product road map access. Elite partners are also afforded all of the benefits that Select and Premier partners receive.

“We are thrilled to be named as an Elite Channel Partner by STORServer,” said Evan Walters, president of Innovative IS. “Providing STORServer as an option for our customers allows us to provide them with an innovative and trusted solution in data backup that we know they will be satisfied with.”

SP3 is designed to help channel partners more effectively market and sell the STORServer line of data backup solutions. Included in the program are comprehensive training, enhanced lead generation tools, an ROI calculator, multimedia offerings, new telemarketing services, a revamped partner portal complete with downloadable collateral materials and quarterly incentive programs.
