eEye Awarded 2009 Everything Channel Five-Star Partner Program Guide Certification

IRVINE, CA, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) --
eEye Digital Security (www.eeye.com), an expert in integrated security
and threat-management solutions, today announced it has been recognized
by Everything Channel as one of North America's top
information-technology (IT) vendors for its channel partner program.

eEye's partner program was awarded a Five-Star certification in Everything
Channel's 15th annual 2009 Partner Program Guide (PPG), acknowledging its
commitment and strength of its programs for reseller partners which
include IT integrators, technology solution providers, and consultants.

A list of PPG winners will appear in the March 30 issue of CRN magazine,
the channel industry's leading publication, and online at
www.Channelweb.com, the world's largest channel industry portal.

Partners stand to gain up to 40% margins by teaming with eEye. Two levels
of partnership (Advisor and Expert) provide the opportunity and
flexibility needed to participate in the eEye channel program. The value
of being an eEye Digital Security Partner lies in the business
opportunity to build a highly profitable business with high margins
coming from product sales, professional services and managed service
offerings.

eEye partner LockNet, Inc., of La Crosse, WI, provides managed security
services to 400 customers and supports more than 2,500 end devices.
Security services accounts for 45% of its business. Says Jeff Reiter, vice
president of finance, "Business has tripled in the last year, largely due
to the MSP side of the business, and we're on pace to double again this
year."

Research for the 2009 Everything Channel Partner Programs Guide and the
Everything Channel Five-Star Program was conducted by Everything Channel's
Institute for Partner Education & Development (IPED). IPED analyzed 130
vendor programs rating vendors' responses to nearly 60 in-depth questions
about their partner programs in the six elements of sales support,
marketing support, partner profitability, channel operations,
communications and partner recruitment. To ensure fair comparisons,
companies were placed in one of four categories based on company size.

IPED weighted the responses to each question about such program elements
as sales support and partner recruitment so that the total weight given
to a vendor's answers in any of the six elements can potentially be
scored as high as 100. The weighting scheme varies depending on the
company size and product type and is based on IPED proprietary analysis
methodology and intellectual property. In each of the four company
categories, the companies with the highest overall weighted scores
received the Everything Channel Five-Star Program designation.

"Now more than ever, the quality of a vendor's partner program determines
how profitable its partners will be. So for their commitment to their
partners, and their efforts to build quality programs, we congratulate
this year's Five-Star Partner Program Guide winners for helping to drive
greater revenue in the channel," said Robert C. DeMarzo, senior vice
president and editorial director, Everything Channel.
