By Internet Solutions
Johannesburg, 20 Apr 2000

IS (The Solution) has announced that Acumen Technologies is the latest customer to join their Value Added Partner (VAP) programme which was launched last month.

Acumen Technologies is a small but pro-active company based in Randburg and currently has a staff complement which handles all aspects of sales and marketing, technical support, installation and cabling services. "Our success is directly attributable to the high level of service that we provide in a very competitive market place" says Craig Theobald, founder of Acumen Technologies. Theobald adds, "Joining IS` Partner Programme will give us opportunity to move into an area of business which has been largely ignored thus far ie the supply of Internet Business Solutions to the small or medium sized business market."

IS has recently launched a number of creative Internet Connectivity solutions tailored for the small to medium business market. Rob Firer VAP Channel Manager of IS, says, "These new offerings in conjunction with the success of our partners will expose the business benefits of the Internet to an entirely new market segment."

The highly professional infrastructure which IS has in place already can only enhance our existing business profile. Our customers now have the ability to obtain a complete turnkey solution from Acumen Technologies, ranging from the supply, implementation and support of all hardware requirements to a complete and economical Internet Business Solution. Acumen are currently authorised dealers in the Hewlett-Packard and Compaq branded products.

Says Firer, "The programme allows us to partner with companies like Acumen Technologies that can assist the small and medium enterprise in setting up the necessary infrastructure that is required for permanent Internet access. Partners will be able to earn a steady revenue stream by selling and supporting our Internet business connectivity service, while cross selling other complimentary services critical to permanent Internet connectivity. The end result is a complete Internet service underpinned by IS` world-class Internet infrastructure."
