Webroot Expands Partnership Portfolio With Emereo Solutions UK

UK (SANEPR.com) June 26, 2008 -- “We only select high-end vendors to partner with, ensuring that we present our clients with market-leading quality solutions and services” Jerry Bates, Sales Director, Emereo. “Webroot impressed us from the outset with its leading security offerings and knowledge of both the market - including customer needs - and of its competition, all of which allow us to be in a strong position to expand our business and provide our customers with exceptional protection levels.”

With no existing partners offering an all-in-one perimeter security solution and a growing number of enquiries, Emereo contacted numerous potential new partners to research and evaluate their offerings, resulting in the appointment of Webroot. Consequently the new partnership enables Emereo to offer Webroot® Perimeter Security SaaS (Software as a Service) across its UK and Ireland based customer base.

Emereo has deployed its IT solutions in over 10,000 servers across the UK and Ireland, supporting a customer base spanning Central and local Government, the NHS, Education, Financial Services and the legal sector, enabling IT to be an effective and continuously available to the business in every case.

Ian Moyse, Webroot Channel Director, commented: “Webroot Perimeter Security SaaS continues to attract well respected and established partners such as Emereo. Emereo's decision to lead with our service is a terrific endorsement of the leading edge nature of the technology.”

The partnership confirms Webroot’s commitment to the channel and, having won UK Security Vendor of the Year 2007 for its channel program, Webroot continues to deliver opportunities and greater value to its growing base of channel partners.



The announcement follows other recent successes - with Mills and Boon, Alpha Airport Group, Aberlour Childcare Trust and the South Yorkshire Housing Association all switching service provider to Webroot Perimeter Security SaaS.
