Check Point Wins Prestigious Channel Award from Computer Reseller News Magazine
10 December 2004Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP - News), the worldwide leader in securing the Internet, today announced it has been named "Security Vendor Partner of the Year" at the Computer Reseller News (CRN) Channel Awards 2004 event. Judged by a panel of analysts, editors and corporate executives, the awards recognized the top IT security vendors, distributors and resellers in the industry at a gala dinner held on November 17, 2004.
Check Point was up against other security players including McAfee, Inc., Sophos, Symantec UK Ltd. and Websense but was deemed to have done the most in 2004 to help its resellers develop profitable businesses. The judges assessed each vendor for its success in delivering new initiatives to support the channel and for evidence of innovation and achievement in these activities.
"It's a massive achievement for us to win this award and a welcome recognition of the hard work by our partners and the Check Point team," said Nick Lowe, regional director, UK, Ireland and South Africa for Check Point Software Technologies. "Partners are fundamental to our success, and they have reacted with drive and enthusiasm to the release of several new products, improvements to our partner program and the emergence of new security threats."
Check Point has made significant investments into the channel during 2004 with the introduction of the new Valued Partner Program, improved accessibility to Check Point executives and an array of successful joint marketing campaigns. As new security threats emerge, Check Point is providing both the products and support for the channel to effectively address these issues and provide new business opportunities.
"Check Point has done really well to respond to both the needs of its channel and the market demands in 2004," said David Ellis, director of e-Security at Unipalm, a Check Point distributor partner. "Its proactive approach to security has paid dividends and enabled the channel to go to market with proven technologies that solve real business issues. This has been coupled with a significant investment in time and resources dedicated to the channel. The recognition of this success is highlighted by the fact that Unipalm also won an award for "Security Distributor of the Year" at the same event."
