Exinda's new Fast Track program was designed by resellers for resellers

The new Fast Track program has two types of reseller in its new program: Authorized Partners and Premier Partners. Exinda helps resellers to gain expertise quickly and capture new business by providing:

• WAN optimization training and certification
• Technical support
• Extensive support on customer evaluations
• Sales, marketing and lead generation support
• Deal registration
• Additional margin enhancement opportunities

In addition, Authorized Partners also receive Exinda’s monthly channel newsletter and access to Exinda’s partner portal. To maintain Authorized Partner status, resellers are required to participate in a minimum of four Web-based training sessions and meet a minimum annual revenue requirement. Premier Partners receive all the benefits that Authorized Partners receive plus deeper discounts, qualified sales leads and a more comprehensive set of sales, marketing and technical tools. Premier Partners will also be eligible for co-marketing initiatives and programs. To maintain Premium Partner status, resellers are required to develop a business and marketing plan, have engineering resources for implementation and provide pre-sales and post-sales support. Resellers must also achieve a minimum level of annual sales.

Exinda solutions were designed to meet the needs of mid-sized businesses, a market segment that relies heavily upon resellers for its IT needs. The products are scalable, easy to install and use and priced up to 40 percent lower than the competition for similar functionality. Exinda’s solutions provide immediate, measurable application performance improvement as well as a quick return on investment.

“Exinda’s new Fast Track program was designed by resellers for resellers,” said Jim Christie, vice president of worldwide sales for Exinda Networks. “The program provides resellers with great revenue and margin opportunities as well as all the supporting elements that resellers need to be successful.”

Additionally, Exinda is the only vendor to provide a global Web-hosted central management platform, called Service Delivery Point, which simplifies the management of Exinda appliances distributed throughout networks.
