Laserfiche Awarded 2009 Everything Channel Five-Star Partner Program Guide Certification

Laserfiche, an electronic document management solutions provider, recently announced it has been recognized by Everything Channel as one of North America's top information technology (IT) vendors for its Technology Revenue Success (TRS) Partner Program.

Laserfiche was awarded a Five-Star certification in Everything Channel's 15th Annual 2009 Partner Program Guide (PPG), acknowledging its commitment and strength of its programs for reseller partners, which include IT integrators, technology solution providers, and consultants.

"Laserfiche's proven business-critical and scalable product suite provides VARs with opportunities to create solutions for small- to large-scale enterprises, said James Every Vice President of VAR Business Management.

"Laserfiche has also implemented a FastTrack program to ensure new VAR special guidance that ensures their success."

"Now more than ever, the quality of a vendor's partner program determines how profitable its partners will be. So for their commitment to their partners, and their efforts to build quality programs, we congratulate this year's Five-Star Partner Program Guide winners for helping to drive greater revenue in the channel," said Robert C.

Research for the 2009 Everything Channel Partner Programs Guide and the Everything Channel Five-Star Program was conducted by Everything Channel's Institute for Partner Education & Development (IPED). IPED analyzed 130 vendor programs rating vendors' responses to nearly 60 in-depth questions about their partner programs in the six elements of sales support, marketing support, partner profitability, channel operations, communications and partner recruitment. To ensure fair comparisons, companies were placed in one of four categories based on company size. IPED weighted the responses to each question about such program elements as sales support and partner recruitment so that the total weight given to a vendor's answers in any of the six elements can potentially be scored as high as 100. The weighting scheme varies depending on the company size and product type and is based on IPED proprietary analysis methodology and intellectual property. In each of the four company categories, the companies with the highest overall weighted scores received the Everything Channel Five-Star Program designation. www.everythingchannel.com, www.channelweb.com
