Awareness Technologies, Inc., (ATI) said today that it has expanded its Partner Program and will now offer the opportunity to qualified partners to self-host their own data. In addition to already offering the ability to co-brand the client portal (reports and settings), ATI Partners will now have the option to host their client data directly, and thus significantly increase their account control.
“Our Partner Program is experiencing significant growth, and we’ve added more than 150 partners in 2011, including a cloud distribution relationship with Ingram Micro and Tech Data. Many of our Partners want to own the client relationship more completely and, while our standard partner enablement allows significantly more branding opportunities already, we are now offering a complete autonomous relationship by allowing partners to self-host,” Ken Totura, Awareness Technologies’ Chief Channel Officer, said in a press release.
“This was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up; as a service provider, we are always looking for ways to increase our client entanglement and have really been pleased with the results to date,” said Jow Arif, Managing Director from Snapguard, a privately held, U.K.-based ISV, who was the first to offer the self-hosted service.
Launched in June 2010, Awareness Technologies’ Partner Program lowers the barrier of entry for cloud security services through the channel and allows solution providers to easily offer the Company’s cloud Insider Threat Security services – including Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Web Filtering, Employee Monitoring and Laptop Recovery – to their SMB customers. The Partner Program has experienced over 150 percent growth in 2011, and today, more than 250 resellers (and growing), in 13 countries, are benefiting from partnering with Awareness Technologies.
