Wyse Technology Recognized by VARBusiness Magazine for Superior Channel Partner Program

Wyse Receives Top Rating of Five Stars For Second Consecutive Year In VARBusiness Magazine's 2003 Partner Program Guide

San Jose, CA – 03/03/2003 - Wyse Technology, the domain experts in server-centric computing (SCC), today announced that it received the highest rating of five stars for its channel partner program in VARBusiness Magazine's 2003 Partner Program Guide. This is the second year that Wyse has been recognized with the highest rating possible for the overall quality of its reseller program. VARBusiness Magazine, the leading magazine to cover strategy and technology trends for the architects of the digital economy, selected and rated the top vendor partner programs to help solution providers carefully select their business partners. The 2003 Partner Program Guide appears in the March 3, 2003 issue.

This honor follows Wyse's recently revamped North American reseller program that addresses the market demand for experts in server-centric computing solutions, and was improved this year with new margin incentives, simplified authorization levels, and an elimination of fees. Since Wyse announced its corporate strategy to move beyond desktop thin clients into complementary hardware and software solutions from the client, through the network, to the server, the new program has opened doors for resellers outside of the traditional thin-client space, and extended the company's reach into new markets.

"A recent VARBusiness article highlighted our company strategy and extensive product line as reasons for growing and staying strong in a tough economy," said David Rand, director of corporate marketing for Wyse Technology. "Another big part of our success has been our strong partner relationships. We pride ourselves in providing our channel partners with innovative products, expert knowledge and a commitment to their growth. This honor and our recent move to expand our solutions beyond desktop thin clients will help us continue to grow our reseller base and extend our market presence."

Some key components of the VARBusiness 2003 Partner Program Guide will include insightful editorial and analysis on behind-the-scenes stories and in-depth interviews with industry leaders. The comprehensive partner program listing will include program descriptions, contact information, company location and training program information for potential partners.
