CompuVault joins vendor-neutral program for benchmarking service-enabling
technology vendors worldwide
PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
CompuVault Inc., a leading channel provider of online data backup services,
today announced that it has received accreditation under the MSPAlliance`s
(MSPA) Vendor Accreditation Program (VAP). VAP is the first program of its 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 CompuVault 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.

Ferman, CompuVault`s President and CEO. "We have always been dedicated to our
MSP Partners, from protecting them in the market to providing them with a
