Acronis Attracts over 100 Resellers in 30 Days

SYDNEY, Aust. Mar 11, 2009 – Acronis^® (http://www.acronis.com.au), a provider of affordable, scalable storage management and disaster recovery software, today announced that it has recruited over 100 new resellers in the first 30 days of its Partner Portal launch in ANZ. They will buy through Acronis Authorised Distributors, Datastor, Manaccom and SAN Systems.

Acronis announced its A/NZ Channel Program and made the Partner Portal available on Feb 12. The program features three levels of memberships, including Enterprise Solutions Partner, Certified Partner and Authorised Partner. The program is well perceived by the channel and the requests have been flooding in over the past 4 weeks. Acronis has two ESPs, Data#3 and Insight, and over 100 resellers signed up on the Partner Portal. The Portal is updated on a regular basis, aiming to provide the latest product news, promotions, marketing collateral and tech support to the Acronis resellers.

Bill Taylor-Mountford, General Manager of Acronis A/NZ said: “The requests from channel partners have been overwhelming. We received over 30 registrations in the first 24 hours! We’re glad to see that resellers recognise the value and benefits of selling the Acronis products, we are really pleased with the result so far. We believe the Portal is a great tool to help our resellers develop the market and grow their businesses.”

In the meantime, Acronis will quote in Australian dollars in the local market to protect channel partners from the volatility associated with exchange rate variations, effective from Mar 3.

“This is another initiative Acronis is taking this year to bring real value to our partners,” Bill said. “We’ve seen many resellers forced to put the prices up or suffering from revenue loss due to the decline of the local currency since Sep last year. What we’d like to achieve is a healthy relationship with resellers and grow the business together, we believe that quoting Acronis products in Australian dollars, offering access to an AUD price portal and providing real marketing support will put our resellers in a much better position in front of customers, and give them predictable margins and profitability.”
