Potential Partners Qualify Based on Specific Capabilities, Technologies & Size

Mississauga, ON
Agility Recovery Solutions (formerly GE Disaster Recovery Services), the premier provider of disaster recovery planning and services for users of client-server computer and internetworking technology, today announced the implementation of a formal, three-tiered, business partner program. As an authorized Agility Business Partner, regional and local providers, of related services, can partner with Agility and offer its industry-leading disaster recovery and business continuity programs to their customers, under the customer's current contractual agreements.

Agility's three-tiered Business Partner Program allows each partner to capitalize on its own assets and deliver the most effective level of service. The Program's flexibility permits large and small companies/vendors to qualify for Partner status and maximize their competitive advantages.

The three levels of the Business Partner Program are: Bronze - Lead Referral, Silver - Business Associate, and Gold - Reseller. To become an Agility Business Partner, a company must demonstrate that it meets that particular level's established set of criteria.

A number of companies have already qualified as authorized, charter members of Agility Recovery Solutions' Business Partner Program. They are:
Bronze: Venturi Technology Partners
Silver: Allegheny Communications Connect
The MVP Group
Sea Technologies
Gold: DBSi
Fusepoint Managed Services
Getronics

The above companies join IBM, SunGard, Hewlett-Packard and Recovery Point Systems as Agility partners.

"The Business Partner Program creates a joint value opportunity for our partners, while expanding Agility's cutting-edge solutions to a broader variety of local enterprises around the country," said Scott Bird, Agility's Vice President of Sales. "We view this as a great opportunity for Agility and our customers."

"We have long considered that our partners…and clients…are an integral part of our success," added Tracey Cilio, Manager of the Business Partner Program. "Agility has now made it easier for prospective partners to evaluate which level of partnership and support makes sense for them and their organizations".
