June 6, 2007, Barcelona - Acronis SAS
(www.acronis.com/es-mx/), a leading developer
of storage management software, announced today it has been
selected by CRN, part of CMP's family of Channel Solutions, as a
CRN Emerging Tech vendor. CRN's Emerging Tech list captures
companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers
via innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry
giants.
With partners worldwide, Acronis provides
advanced storage management and disaster recovery software helping
enterprises to safeguard their information and assure its
availability, security, integrity and recoverability.
"It is an honor to be named a CRN Emerging
Vendor by a publication that knows and understands the channel",
said Eric Dougherty, director of channel sales of Acronis. "The
Acronis Authorized Solution Provider Program offers training and
support for our partners' virtualization, business continuity and
integration projects."
According to the 2007 CRN Emerging Tech Survey,
solution providers add emerging technologies for the following
reasons; the technology is superior to other products in the market
segment, the technology compliments a solution providers' existing
practice areas, emerging vendors provide better service
opportunities, emerging vendors pay better attention to partners,
emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want to alternate
product choices, and emerging vendors have better joint-marketing
programs. In addition, 61 percent of solution providers surveyed
plan to increase the number of emerging technology vendors they
partner with in the next 12 months.
"Successful solution providers are always
looking for new and innovative partners, and the CRN Emerging Tech
list provides a way for them to discover a large number of
potential new partners that offer a wide range of emerging
technologies," said Heather Clancy, vice president and editor of
CRN.
Vendors that make the CRN Emerging Tech list
must have an established solution provider program and formal
guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must demonstrate
that their direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the
company's revenue history, they must have a channel-positive or
channel-neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and they
must not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the
Emerging Tech list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial
team after a review of the submitted information and conversations
with current or targeted partners.
