CompuVault Completes MSPAlliance Vendor Accreditation Program

CompuVault, Inc., provider of online data backup services, has received accreditation under the MSPAlliance‘s (MSPA) Vendor Accreditation Program (VAP). VAP is the first program of its kind, specifically designed by managed service providers (MSPs) as a benchmark for vendors who sell to the MSP community. Vendors who bear the VAP seal have shown they abide by the highest principles of quality in areas such as financial stability, positive channel practices, product research and development, and MSP customer satisfaction.

"The Vendor Accreditation Program is important to MSPs, since companies that receive accreditation have demonstrated their ongoing commitment to the channel," said Charles Weaver, president of the MSPAlliance. "We are very proud to have CompuVault as a part of this prestigious body of vendors."

VAP was created using a wide base of criteria considered as critical by MSPs when selecting a vendor.

Criteria examined
during the accreditation process include:

• Business practices: Focusing on channel development, channel competition safeguards, experience in the managed services industry, etc.
• Product Roadmap: Examining the vendor’s willingness to invest in their products in order to ensure continued relevance for the MSPs on a continued basis.
• Financial: Examination of financial stability to ensure adequate support of channel initiatives and product development.
• Client References: Vendor must provide at least three MSP specific client references.

"We are pleased to have received this recognition from MSPAlliance," said Steven Ferman, CompuVault’s President and CEO. "We have always been dedicated to our MSP Partners, from protecting them in the market to providing them with a best-of-breed data recovery solution. This accreditation is another way for us to illustrate that dedication."
