Netect Launches Distribution Program Extending Its Award Winning
Anti-Hacker Products to Network Administrators
FRAMINGHAM, Mass., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Netect Inc., provider of
anti-hacker software solutions, today rolled out its reseller, consultant
and e-commerce strategy. Several key U.S partnerships were announced,
including Bay Data Consultants, Crowe Chizek and Company LLP and Trellis
Network Services, to kick off its aggressive product distribution
campaign. The company also announced today that its HackerShield product,
the first deliverable in its Anti-Hacker Suite of solutions, is now
available for purchase on Cyberian Outpost, the leading Internet-only
retailer of computer hardware and software. Netect's new channel program
underscores the company's commitment to deliver the most-intuitive
anti-hacker products designed specifically for network administrators who
may not be security experts.
``It was a natural step for our firm to partner with Netect. We believe
doing so will reinforce our value proposition across all market
segments,'' said Edward Schwartz, senior manager at Crowe Chizek and
Company LLP, the ninth largest CPA and Consulting firm in the nation.
``HackerShield is leading the anti-hacker market and we anticipate a great
response to this innovative product.
``Netect's strategic channel alliances closely follow on the heels of the
company's release of HackerShield, its flagship anti-hacker
product-recently awarded ''Analyst's Choice`` by PC Week Labs. Netect's
channel partners and consultants can now offer their customers the easiest
way to safeguard a company's systems, servers and corporate data from the
increasing volume of hacker attacks.
``Netect's HackerShield product is the only anti-hacker solution on the
market today that is completely channel ready,'' said Paul E. Blondin,
President and CEO of Netect. ``Its ease-of-use and installation allows
resellers and consultants to easily service even their non-technical
customers -- immediately and successfully.
``Several resellers and consultants have signed on with Netect's partner
program to date. U.S. partners include Bay Data Consultants, a single
source for building an enterprise network solution; Cyberian Outpost, an
online provider of competitively priced computer hardware, software,
peripherals and accessories; Custom Computer Online, a premier provider of
network integration and support solutions, Pomeroy Computer Resources, a
full service computer integration company, Trellis Network Services, a
network engineering and design services provider and Xerox Connect's
information security practice.
Partner Programs
U.S. resellers and consultants can choose one of three program
alternatives from Netect. Each program contains a combination of the
essential ingredients required for successful selling including: a welcome
kit, sales and technical training, field sales support and leads, joint
marketing funds, sales and marketing tools, ability to directly purchase
product, Web site access and a re-sale version of HackerShield for NT.
Netect's Premier Partner Program is geared to resellers who are willing to
make a volume commitment to Netect, while the Authorized Partner Program
is available to resellers who want to enter the lucrative anti-hacker
market but are not yet ready to make an annual sales commitment. The
consultant program is designed for those engaged in providing consulting
services to their clients. It is an attractive option for licensing
HackerShield on a per project basis. For more information on Netect's
partner program, or to become a Hackershield partner, please contact Adam
