Validating the momentum behind the adoption of its unique identity-based unified threat management solutions, Cyberoam, a division of Elitecore, today announces that during the second quarter of 2007, the Company added 37 new channel partners to its Channel Partner Program, including Bayside, Pinnacle Business Group, Inc., Incaption, Inc., PPMA, Inc., Cole Informatics, ONX, Inc., Johnson Consulting, Miconetix, and One Echo Tech. The up-tick in the channel partner program represents a 70 percent increase in channel partners from Q1.

Cyberoam’s Channel Partner Program provides qualified partners with the resources and support infrastructure necessary to help evangelize the brand in the marketplace including intelligent lead-generation programs; a robust deal registration system and account protection; access to demo gear for customer site evaluation; and, up to date competitive information and SWOT training to help approach competitive selling situations.

In addition to these valuable resources, Cyberoam is strengthening channel partners’ ability to meet sales and profitability goals with its 30-day Try & Buy Program, allowing potential customers to install Cyberoam’s CR Series for 30 days. All partner sales representatives who successfully execute, register and activate a CR Series implementation will qualify for bonuses. Cyberoam also recently launched its Partner Portal, enabling partners to place and track orders at any time of day, and providing them with 24x7x365 technical and sales support.

“Cyberoam has really demonstrated its strong commitment to its channel partners,” said Dan Doyle, President, Bayside Solutions. “My sales and marketing teams have been provided with all of the training and resources they need to effectively showcase just how powerful Cyberoam’s unique identity-based security solutions are. With the support of Cyberoam, we’re able to fulfill orders and provide customers with technical and service support whenever needed, which is imperative for keeping our valuable customers happy.”

“Cyberoam’s Channel Partner Program offers unique and innovative marketing and sales support that we rarely see from other solutions providers,” said Terry Fields, CEO, Pinnacle Business Group, Inc. “The Try and Buy program has been very successful thus far, and it’s great that we can actually let the customers experience Cyberoam’s solutions for 30 days without a sales commitment. Our sales and marketing teams have been overwhelmed with the response from customers, which in turn is allowing us to meet and surpass our internal sales goals and objectives.”

Increasing its commitment to meeting channel partner demands, Cyberoam is also pleased to announce the appointment of Abdul Karmach to Director of Technical Services and Support. Karmach is focused on meeting the channel’s needs for technical and sales support in the North American market. Cyberoam is also expanding its footprint in multiple regions of the United States. Channel partners will now have access to more regional sales managers and staff throughout the country, as well as a field channel marketing manager to help execute channel partner marketing program commitments.

“We are thrilled that our Channel Partner Program has attracted so many quality partners and resellers,” said Joshua Block, Vice President of North American Operations, Cyberoam. “We rely on the channel to market and sell our unique UTM solutions, so it’s imperative that we provide them with all the tools their teams need to drive sales. Because of this we continually strive to bring innovation to our Channel Partner Program and are committed to offer new programs and resources that generate additional sales and enhance profitability.”
