Mycom Expands mailMAX Channel Program Nationally
Tuesday May 3, 8:50 am ET
CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 3, 2005--Mycom Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MYCO - News), a technology products, managed services, and software development company, is introducing a new National Channel Sales Program at the 2005 Networld+Interop technology show in Las Vegas. The program contracts Value Added Resellers to resell the mycomPRO® mailMAX(TM) service.
One of the barriers to taking on a new product for a reseller is the learning curve and support. CEO Rob Bransom commented, "Our channel program lets resellers deliver a service their clients need without any heavy investment in training or equipment. Resellers leverage our infrastructure and our technical resources to immediately deliver a solution."
"As a reseller, I love this product!" stated Allen Stringfellow, Vice President of Operations at Magnolia Bell Data Systems, Inc. "When we show mailMAX(TM) to customers and demonstrate all of its features, it practically sells itself. I've found that customers particularly love the reporting tool. They like being able to see what is coming in and out of their network and who is sending it."
"We have evaluated reseller arrangements with a few select partners. Their success stories have been growing and we've decided to expand the program. At Networld+Interop we will be actively recruiting established and successful resellers throughout the country," explained Mycom's Vice President of Managed Services, Chad Mattix.
Resellers have a choice of referring their clients to Mycom in exchange for a monthly commission, or they can control the customer relationship and handle the sales and billing process directly. For either option, Mycom provides the technical support infrastructure and sales training. The program can also be set up as a private label solution for large ISPs or vendors, based on volume commitments.
"The flexibility of our program is very attractive. We have had resellers selling to their clients even before the reseller agreement with us was finalized," noted Mattix.
The channel program is designed for experienced and professional reseller organizations looking for a recurring revenue stream. Service delivery, technical support, sales materials, and service development is provided by Mycom Group to support the reseller channel.
CEO Bransom stated, "Mycom's long term goal is to have 75% or more of mailMAX(TM) revenue come from the reseller channel."
mailMAX(TM) provides protection from the risks of email. As a managed service, mailMAX filters out junk email, eliminates embedded viruses, places a barrier between mail servers and the Internet to discourage hacking attempts, enables content scanning for harassing or inappropriate content with liability potential, lets firms append legal disclaimers to messages, and provides flexible tools for monitoring and enforcing office email policies. Email encryption is a new add-on feature.
mailMAX(TM) was recently chosen as one of the best email scanning services by Network World Magazine. For details on mailMAX(TM) see www.mycomPRO.com.
