June 6, 2007, Singapore - Commwave (www.acronis.com/ko-kr/), 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.
