New Program Accelerates Success for Tone MSP Partners by Providing Advanced
Sales, Marketing and Engineering Support
ANAHEIM, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Tone Software Corporation, a global provider of end-to-end monitoring and
management solutions for converged telecommunications and IT infrastructures,
today launched the ReliaTel-Streamline Partner Plus Program, providing managed
service providers (MSPs), integrators, value added resellers (VARs) and channel
partners with strategic sales, marketing and engineering support. The program is
designed to empower Tone`s ReliaTel-Streamline MSP partners to build managed
services revenue more rapidly through advanced sales and marketing tools and
resources which are now provided as a value-add benefit of membership in the
Partner Plus program.

MSPs utilize the ReliaTel-Streamline technologies to provide comprehensive
managed services including in-depth management of faults, performance, quality
of service (QoS), traffic and network capacity for multi-platform, IP-enabled
voice and data environments that support mobility, collaboration and unified
communications. Through Tone`s new ReliaTel-Streamline Partner Plus Program, MSP
partner members can increase their visibility within their target markets
through joint co-marketing activities, expedite go-to-market processes with
brand-able sales materials, leverage Tone convergence expertise to augment their
internal staff resources, and grow their service-related sales revenue to
increase profitability.

"The ReliaTel-Streamline Partner Plus Program delivers a wide range of business
benefits to our MSP partners," said Tracey Whitney, director of marketing, Tone
Software Corporation. "The co-marketing services help partners achieve greater
penetration in their target markets, while the sales tools and technical
resources help them better demonstrate the technical and competitive advantages
of their ReliaTel-Streamline based managed services to clients-often resulting
in higher close rates and more rapid return on investment from their managed
services offerings."

Partner Plus Program members access resources through the Web-based
ReliaTel-Streamline Partner Resource Portal that hosts valuable on-demand
assets, including customizable collateral, technology presentations and
demonstrations, proposal and RFP templates, and sales force battle cards.
Partners can also benefit from ReliaTel-Streamline co-marketing services,
including joint news releases and media activities, client-facing sales event
participation, email marketing promotion templates, and case study feature
stories and articles.

"Converging voice infrastructures are creating lucrative remote management
opportunities for service providers, integrators and VARs, and these companies
are increasingly looking to their technology providers for a partnership that
delivers not just a product, but true business support," commented Whitney. "The
ReliaTel-Streamline Partner Plus Program meets this growing need in our partner
community, and provides beneficial tools that directly contribute to the
business success of Tone`s valued partners."
