Program Designed To Reward Premier and Select Partners

SAN JOSE, Calif. – 28/03/2006 - Wyse Technology, the global leader in thin computing, today was recognized by CMP Media's VARBusiness magazine as one of North America's top information-technology vendors. For the fourth year, Wyse was certified as a Five-Star Partner, acknowledging the commitment and strength of its partner program for integrators, resellers, and consultants.

"We applaud vendors like Wyse for demonstrating best practices and for the leadership roles they have achieved within the IT distribution channel," said VARBusiness Editor Lawrence M. Walsh.

"This recognition is particularly gratifying as 95% of our sales go through our partners and they are critical to the success of our company," said Tarkan Maner, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at Wyse Technology. "The combination of Wyse hardware, software, and support, and the strength of our program, will ensure maximum success for our partners." Highlights of the Wyse Partner Network Program include Wyse Opportunity Registration, which allows Premier and Select Partners to gain additional margin whether they win or lose the sales deal; Sky's the Limit, which allocates money to partners for marketing and sales events; and traditional SPIF (Sales Performance Incentive Funds) programs. Product evaluation units are also provided to top partners, and Wyse PartnerLink is a secure web portal exclusively created for the authorized resellers to access specific channel information.
