Programs Designed to Enable Wyse Partners to Better Deliver Complete Thin Computing Solutions to Enterprise Customers

SAN JOSE, Calif. – 30/01/2006 - Wyse Technology, the worldwide leader in thin computing, today announced its enhanced partner program. These enhancements include benefits for strategic alliance partners, systems integrators, and value-added solution providers, as well as Wyse’s extensive channel network of value-added resellers and distributors.  The newly created value-added solution provider program is specifically designed for Wyse’s strongest reseller partners, with the goal of enabling expanded business opportunity through enhanced Wyse training and support.

Wyse has also enhanced its award-winning Wyse Partner Network channel program to offer increased reseller profitability. The program offers three levels of participation:  Premier, Select, and Affiliate, which are based on revenue goals, resources and market reach. The new program elements offer improved deal registration, increased joint marketing, and new sales tools. 

"I am excited to see Wyse increase their level of commitment to the channel via programs such as opportunity registration. It will add incremental profits to my bottom line," said Truman Roe, Vice President Operations, Sierra Associates. 

Thin computing, which incorporates hardware, software, and services, represents a fast-growing market opportunity and demands the best ecosystem of partners in order to deliver on that opportunity. As Wyse continues to develop innovative software solutions that extend thin computing into new markets, the company  firmly believes in the importance of providing services to enable partner success.  The new service and training offerings will make it easier and more profitable for partners to develop, deliver, and sell complete thin-computing solutions.  The new programs will be launched throughout the first half of 2006, beginning this week, and will provide resources to facilitate thin-computing architecture expertise and service delivery.

"These new offerings extend the opportunity for Wyse partners to lead and grow their markets, selling and delivering our world-leading, complete, thin-computing solutions.  The combination of Wyse hardware, software solutions, and support with our partners' service and solutions expertise will ensure maximum success and end-user satisfaction," said Tarkan Maner, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing.
