Workshare Secure Content Compliance Products Named a CRN Emerging Technology Workshare chosen by CRN for consistently besting established vendors in head-to-head product, margin, technical support and field engagement comparisons San Francisco, CA, July 2, 2007 Workshare, the global leader in secure content compliance, today announced it has been selected by CRN, part of CMP’s family of Channel Solutions, as a CRN Emerging Tech vendor. CRN's Emerging Tech list captures companies that are delivering high margins for solution providers with innovative and easy-to-use technology that undercuts industry giants. Workshare’s Secure Content Compliance software is used by over one million users in 6,000 organizations worldwide. Workshare’s Outbound Content Security and Document Integrity solutions, including Workshare Protect and Workshare Professional, eliminate the risk of content leaks and inaccuracies, enabling the safe, compliant and high speed information exchange needed in today’s competitive business environment. Workshare Protect is the only solution that provides comprehensive content security: alerting users to risk, blocking dangerous content when necessary and actually curing risk when appropriate. Workshare Professional empowers Microsoft Office users with complete document control and security, offering fast and accurate multi-person document review, the ability to eliminate multiple versions with document lifecycle management, and the world’s most secure PDF available. Workshare was chosen for the CRN Emerging Technology award for not only its technology leadership in the information security space, but for its dedication to enabling solution providers to realize optimal margins and to offer their customers the best secure content compliance solutions through its Protect and Professional product lines. Workshare’s Integrity Partner Program ensures partners can extend their product, consulting and service offerings to include essential Secure Content Compliance solutions. Workshare allows solution providers to deliver value-add services that include risk assessments, policy design, deployment services, security audits, consulting and more. All partners are highly trained by Workshare in a curriculum and format that best serves their needs. According to the 2007 CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution providers add emerging technologies include, the technology is superior to other products in the market segment; the technology compliments a solution providers’ existing practice areas; emerging vendors provide better services opportunities; emerging vendors pay better attention to partners; emerging vendors offer higher margins, customers want alternative product choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing programs. In addition, 61 percent of solutions providers surveyed plan to increase the number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12 months. "Solution Providers love to find new and innovative partners who can help them better serve their customers, and the CRN Emerging Tech list can help them do just that," said Robert C. Demarzo, vice president and editorial director, CMP Channel. "We salute this year's Emerging Tech vendors, and encourage solution providers to check them out." Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established solution provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel partners. They must demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down as evidenced by the company’s revenue history, a channel positive or channel neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and not be a dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners. “We’re honored to be selected for CRN’s Emerging Technology Award. Workshare is continuing to uphold a company tradition of building a channel first organization with strong worldwide solution provider partnerships that are based on teamwork, professionalism and trust,” said Joe Fantuzzi, Workshare CEO and president. “We are committed to delivering new and innovative solutions to and through our channel partners. The channel is a key part of our strategy and is embedded in our corporate DNA.” About Workshare About The Channel Group About CRN About CMP Technology
