GoToMyPC Channel Partner Program Signs 100 SMB-Focused Solution Providers Since August Launch

Program Exceeds Reseller's Expectations as Demand for Web-based Remote Access Grows


SANTA BARBARA, Calif., October 9, 2002. Expertcity, Inc., the leading provider of Web-based remote-access and customer-support technologies, reports that its GoToMyPC™ Channel Partner Program has acquired 100 new contracts since the launch of the program in August. Partners are capitalizing on the growing corporate demand for the award-winning, Web-based service, stating that the partner program is exceeding expectations and delivering strong results on its aggressive, annuity-based model.

“There is tremendous need among small and mid-size enterprises for a Web-based solution because traditional VPNs are typically too time-consuming and expensive,” says Erick Marroquin, vice president of EM Data Consultants Inc. “GoToMyPC Corporate 3.0 offers a cost-effective solution that is also highly secure and easy to set up and administer. It is the one new channel partner program this year that has exceeded my expectations, based on its remarkable technology and attractive incentives.”
 
With GoToMyPC Corporate 3.0, small to medium-size businesses can easily enable a secure telework solution for their remote workers and mobile professionals. Robust security features (including nested passwords and 128-bit AES encryption) and feature enhancements that save time and streamline administrative controls make GoToMyPC Corporate an attractive alternative to more-established, complex and costly corporate VPN solutions.

VARs and system integrators have the flexibility to bundle GoToMyPC Corporate 3.0 as a powerful remote-access solution that meets the budget requirements of their clients. Kevin Converse, president of Hummingbird Wireless, Inc., says that GoToMyPC Corporate 3.0 is an integral part of the company’s high-speed wireless offering: “It provides the high level of security our subscribers demand at a most affordable price.” After having conducted extensive research, Jim Howard, president of EZ Business Solutions, strongly recommends it to all of the company’s clients, claiming, “GoToMyPC Corporate 3.0 is the easiest to use, most powerful, yet best priced remote-access tool available today.”
The GoToMyPC Channel Partner Program provides a suite of services to ensure the program’s success, including dedicated account managers, exclusive partner promotions, market development funds, co-branding, monthly reports, free technical support, sales training and a dedicated extranet outlining a complete product sales and support program.  

“Our top priority is to provide superior technology, support and services to our channel partners,” states Shannon Jessup, director of channel partner programs at Expertcity, Inc. “It is gratifying to see the extraordinary response to our program.”
