WatchGuard Technologies has been named Partner of the Year by 1NService, a nationwide network of technology integrators.
WatchGuard was selected based on criteria evaluating the company's value of service, commitment to product development and dedication to reseller training and sales support. 1NService made the announcement at its annual national conference in San Jose, California, held last month.
The partnership enables 1NService to offer the WatchGuard Firebox X line of integrated security appliances to its network of solution providers and their customers.
1NService is a consortium of 18 Value Added Resellers (VARs) across the US and Canada with aggregate revenues of over $250 million. Through its network of 3,000 technical personnel, six training centers and multiple network operations centers, the organization provides a range of security, networking, IP telephony, wireless and ebusiness solutions to more than 30,000 customers, including many small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
"WatchGuard stood out this year among our partners because of its extraordinary dedication to the channel," said Rob Savette, president of 1NService. "The company's business is centered on providing innovative solutions and services to meet the ever-changing needs of the reseller. The model upgrade capability of the Firebox X and the ability to offer add-on services and features via a software license key is ideal for the growing business. Other benefits, such as the WatchGuard Secure Partner Program and the online customer renewal tool, demonstrate the company's willingness to go above and beyond to invest in the partnerships it establishes."
"Our relationship with 1NService expands our ability to connect with businesses in need of integrated security solutions," said Dale Bastian, vice president of worldwide sales at WatchGuard. "We are honored to be recognized as Partner of the Year by 1NService and look forward to further cooperation as WatchGuard continues to improve the network security of the SME."
