ArcSight Awarded 2010 Everything Channel Partner Program Guide and Five-Star Partner Rating
ArcSight Connections Channel Program Recognized as Exceptional by Leading Channel Authority
CUPERTINO, CA – March 30, 2010 – ArcSight, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARST), a leading global provider of security and compliance management solutions that protect enterprises and government agencies, today announced that it has been recognized by Everything Channel as one of North America’s top information technology (IT) vendors for its Connections Channel Program. The ArcSight Connections Channel Program was recognized with a Five-Star rating representative of an exceptional program.
The ArcSight Connections Channel Program was awarded a Five-Star recognition in the midsize companies category of Everything Channel’s 16th annual 2010 Partner Program Guide (PPG), acknowledging the commitment and strength of its programs for reseller partners, which include IT integrators, technology solution providers and consultants.
The ArcSight Connections Channel Program provides a foundation for ArcSight and its partners to build long-term relationships to assist customers around the world with solutions in the enterprise security market.
Research for the 2010 Everything Channel Partner Program Guide and the Five-Star Partner Program rating was conducted by Everything Channel’s research department. Everything Channel analyzed 130 vendor programs rating vendors’ responses to in-depth questions about their partner programs in the five elements of sales support, partner profitability, partner ecosystem development/management, partner communication/marketing, and demand generation. To ensure fair comparisons, companies were placed in one of four categories based on company size (Enterprise, Midsize, Small and Emerging). Questions from each section were scored individually and weighted appropriately. The 5-Star Partner Program rating recognizes the elite subset of Partner Program Guide vendors who give solution providers the best partnering elements in their channel programs. The 5-Star rating is bestowed on programs whose overall rating is among the elite based on company size.
“We are pleased to deliver to the Channel an exclusive list of the leading vendor channel programs with details about key technologies, program opportunities, and information on the hottest new program offerings,” said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. “The quality of a technology vendor’s partner program determines how profitable its partners will be. For their commitment to their business partners and their efforts to build quality programs, we congratulate those recognized as this year’s Five-Star Partner Program winners for helping to drive greater revenue in the channel.”
“Through strategic partnerships with more than 200 authorized resellers and distributors, ArcSight provides customers with the enhanced expertise to enable them to effectively deploy our solutions,” said Tom Reilly, president and CEO, ArcSight. “We’re committed to our partner program as we believe our partners bring valuable knowledge that not only allows us to create richer solutions but also address customer business needs in a broader set of markets.”
The PPG list and those companies recognized as five-star will appear in the March 29 issue of CRN magazine and online at www.Channelweb.com.
