Leading-Edge Program Expands to Offer Partners Greater Tools and Incentives to
Help Meet Rapidly-Growing Market Opportunities
BEDFORD, Mass., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSA Security
(Nasdaq: RSAS), the expert in protecting online identities and digital assets,
today announced further enhancements to the RSA SecurWorld(TM) Partner Program
that will help to better enable its resale and distribution partners to meet
growing market demand for its portfolio of security solutions.
The company plans to reward the efforts of individual partner sales
executives, as well as increasing its rebate provision and improving the deal
registration program. These new elements build on the success that the all-new
program has achieved since it was launched in May 2005.
RSA SecurWorld Rewards Program announced
RSA Security has launched its RSA SecurWorld Rewards Program, beginning
with the launch of an incentive card designed to reward individual sales
executives working for RSA SecurWorld Partners. The scheme will offer cash
payments onto a Visa debit card available to spend wherever the cards are
accepted. The card will be used to encourage partners to sell new licenses for
RSA Security products and to support new product launches by boosting rewards
for particular transactions.
Applications to join the program will be accepted from the end of March
2006, with the full launch of the incentive card planned for later this year.
Solutions Partner Instant Rebate introduced
A further enhancement to the RSA SecurWorld Partner Program features the
introduction of an upfront 5% instant rebate available to Solutions Partners,
in recognition of their commitment to technical training and certification.
The rebate is now available through participating RSA Authorized Distributors,
based on the RSA Standard Price List.
Deal Registration enhancements launched
Effective on all transactions as of March 1st, 2006, RSA Security has
introduced changes to its deal registration initiative designed to provide
greater rewards for partners generating new business and those selling a
broader range of RSA Security identity and access management products into
existing and new customer accounts.
Rebate payments
Deal registration, new business and volume rebate payments to all eligible
partners will be made 30 working days after the month-end as standard.
Partners will also be able to view their past and current rebate statements on
the RSA SecurWorld Partner Portal instead of receiving them by email. These
enhancements are intended to help partners enjoy the benefits of the RSA
SecurWorld Partner Program faster and more directly than ever before.
"The RSA SecurWorld program has benefited Mission Critical Systems by
rewarding a team-centered approach to the sale. By registering deals, and
working closely with RSA Security's local territory and channel managers, we
can provide a cohesive experience to our prospects and customers, from the
beginning to end of every project," comments Susan Crabtree, President of
Mission Critical. "With the renewed focus on the channel, RSA Security has
streamlined its processes and leveraged internal resources to help us win
significant sales opportunities. We are looking forward to -- and excited by
-- the additional program enhancements being announced today."
"The new elements of the RSA SecurWorld program are extremely positive,
and the focus and direction on its Channel initiatives that RSA Security is
showing is a shot in the arm for the VAR sales teams taking these solutions to
the market," comments Joe Luciano, CEO of AccessIT Group. "In this business,
vendors are either genuine partners to the Channel or they're not; RSA
Security's commitment to our business is both revitalizing and rewarding."
"Following the launch of the RSA SecurWorld Partner Program in 2005, the
emphasis for 2006 is the development and improvement of the program in line
with RSA Security's overall business objectives and the needs of our
partners," commented Michael Ross, Area Vice President, North American
Channels at RSA Security. "We feel it is important to reward those partners
who contribute most to helping RSA Security grow its business, and also
provide opportunities for partners to tell us how we can help them to meet
their own business needs."
