As a member of the Continuity Software Partner Program, VARs and SIs can further demonstrate their commitment to be an industry leader in the delivery and implementation of a complete range of advanced IT solutions; and in doing so, will be favorably positioned to take full advantage of the rapidly growing data protection and business continuity market, in order to increase market share and considerably enhance margins.
