RESELLER COMMUNITY RECOGNIZES REFLEXION NETWORKS FOR OUTSTANDING TECH EDUCATION
Managed Email Threat Protection Company Receives Top Honors at the 2007 ASCII Tech Boot Camp
WOBURN, Mass. – April 2, 2007 — Reflexion Networks, a leading provider of managed email threat protection services for IT solution providers, was named as the winner for “Best Presentation” at The ASCII Group’s 2007: ASCII Tech Boot Camp.
Scott Barlow, vice president of sales and product management at Reflexion Networks, presented “Why SMB Customers Still Have SPAM Problems with Today’s Solutions” to more than 200 resellers attending the day-long event. The presentation offered insight into the latest spam techniques, which once again have most email security vendors at a disadvantage. It also focused on how resellers can turn this obstacle into an opportunity by using the latest technology to start a managed services business that boosts company valuations with a compounding annuity revenue stream.
”It is an honor to receive such great recognition from the solution provider channel,” said Barlow. “Reflexion provides resellers with the fastest and most-affordable way to enter the explosive managed services market through managed email threat protection. It is gratifying to see that such tech-savvy firms recognize the value of Reflexion’s Protective Addressing technology. We are determined to continue strengthening and expanding our commitment to our channel partners.“

RTC provides partner branding, co-administration with a data model that implements the channel hierarchy of distributor–solution provider–customer, on-demand provisioning, unparalleled configurability for the widest range of client requirements, integration with managed services platforms automatic reporting for customer updates, and special diagnostic tools.
Structured to provide time-constrained resellers and consultants with the content and networking opportunities they need in a compact one-day format, the ASCII Tech Boot Camp focuses on helping attendees sharpen new client acquisition strategies, replace monthly sales fluctuations with predictable revenue streams through managed services, and broaden their overall sales opportunities with technology that is presented at the event. The Best Presentation Award was voted upon by event attendees based on merit, value and overall education on a topic.
”This award recognizes that resellers want more education on technologies that can help them grow their businesses, not a simple sales presentation,“ said Jerry Koutavas, senior vice president of The ASCII Group, Inc. ”Understanding the technology and how it can help them is first and foremost on our members’ minds.“
