LANDesk Launches Certified Deployment Partner Program


SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- LANDesk Software, a leading provider of integrated systems, security and business process management solutions, today announced the Certified LANDesk® Deployment Partner program. This program is designed to create additional revenue generating opportunities for partners through LANDesk outsourced services and to give customers increased confidence in their solution design, implementation and deployment.

In order to qualify for this certification, partners must demonstrate exceptional technical understanding and expertise. LANDesk Worldwide Professional Services personnel will then work closely with the certified program partners to integrate their internal business processes and collaborate on customer proposals, statements of work and actual deployment activity.

"This certification lets customers know that LANDesk has reviewed and approved associated statements of work and deployment design and services," said Joe Meier, President Network America, Inc. "This gives the customer confidence that we are providing them excellent service by the best technicians and that the deployment is backed by LANDesk."

Additional benefits to LANDesk resellers and Expert Solution Providers (ESPs) include exclusive statement of work creation and deployment support, compensation of the LANDesk sales force for partner delivered services and direct billing options that enable the ESP to focus on the design and deployment and let LANDesk bill and collect from the customer directly. With this option, LANDesk provides accelerated services payments to the partners thus improving their ability to preserve working capital.

Additional benefits to the end customer include regular deployment status updates, certified deployment engineers to perform deployment, deployment 'health' verified at the end of the engagement and expert training course curriculum development.

"LANDesk continues to offer partners and customers increased technical value and business return on investment," said Terry Haas, vice president of sales for LANDesk Software. "So much of a customer's success with our solutions depends on an effective deployment of the technology, we have created this program to ensure customers of the best, most worry-free deployment possible"

Currently the program consists of the following partners: BizCarta, Continental Resources, Inc., Deployment Partners, Inc, Network America, Inc., NetworkD Corporation and S2 Business Solutions, Inc.
