Computer Associates International, Inc tied for top honors in the security management category of the VARBusiness Annual Report Card (ARC), with top marks for partner support and the quality of its partner programmes.
CA was cited for its presales, post-sales, technical and marketing support, managing channel conflict, ease of doing business and helping partners achieve revenue/profit goals in security management software. CA`s eTrust Antivirus, eTrust Secure Content Manager, eTrust Vulnerability Manager, and eTrust Security Command Center are licensed through channel partners.
The VARBusiness ARC Awards winners were selected based on survey results of more than 5 000 systems integrators, IT consulting organisations, value-added resellers (VARs), solution providers and software developers.
"We commend CA for the breadth and quality of its partner initiatives in the security management software market," said Robert C DeMarzo, editorial director at VARBusiness. "CA`s channel partners are obviously very satisfied with the solutions, support and service CA is providing as they seek to fulfil their customers` increasingly complex information security requirements."
CA recently announced the new "One" Partner Programme, combining all of the company`s partner programmes under one umbrella - effectively providing all CA partners with an integrated set of go-to-market programmes built around CA`s industry-leading management software. Building on CA`s "Partner for Profitability" channel partner programme, the "One" Partner Programme delivers a comprehensive set of proven tools, extensive training, and sales and marketing support services to help partners succeed in today`s highly competitive technology marketplace.
"As corporate and small and medium business customers face a growing range and volume of security threats, they will continue to turn to their trusted resellers and integrators to show them how to effectively protect the integrity of their computing environments," said George Kafkarkou, senior vice-president of worldwide channel operations at CA. "CA recognises the strategic importance of channel partners in bringing our world-class security solutions to market, and we are therefore committed to providing the technology and the programmes they need to make CA their security partner-of-choice."
