NTRglobal Announces Successful Completion of MSP Alliance Green IT Certification and Vendor Accreditation

NTRglobal joins vendor-neutral program for benchmarking service-enabling and green technology vendors worldwide

Dallas, Texas and Barcelona, Spain – April 22, 2009 – NTRglobal today announced that it has received accreditation under the MSPAlliance’s (MSPA) Vendor Accreditation Program (VAP) as well as their Green IT Certification program. MSPAlliance’s VAP and Green IT Certifications are the first programs of their kind, specifically designed by managed service providers (MSPs) as a benchmark for vendors who sell to the MSP community.

Vendors who bear the VAP seal have shown they abide by the highest principles of quality in areas such as financial stability, positive channel practices, product research and development, and MSP customer satisfaction.

"The Vendor Accreditation Program is important to MSPs, since companies that receive accreditation have demonstrated their ongoing commitment to the channel,” said Charles Weaver, president of the MSPAlliance. "We are very proud to have NTRglobal as a part of this prestigious body of vendors.”

VAP was created using a wide base of criteria considered as critical by MSPs when selecting a vendor. Criteria examined during the accreditation process include:
•    Business practices: Focusing on channel development, channel competition safeguards, experience in the managed services industry, etc.
•    Product Roadmap: Examining the vendor's willingness to invest in their products in order to ensure continued relevance for the MSPs on a continued basis.
•    Financial: Examination of financial stability to ensure adequate support of channel initiatives and product development.
•    Client References: Vendor must provide at least three MSP specific client references.

“VAP certification underscores NTRglobal’s total focus on delivering highly secure, robust and easily customizable solutions for proactive network administration and remote technical support to our valued MSPs partners and enterprise customers around the world, said Andre Angel, president of NTRglobal Americas.  NTRglobal is committed to strengthening our relationship with the MSPAlliance to deliver innovative solutions that deliver return on deployment, eliminates CAPex with SaaS and supports green IT initiatives.”
