MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. - October 17, 2005 - KACE™ today announced its KACE Partner Program for resellers, managed service providers and referral partners to meet the demand for its KBOX™ IT Management Suite. KACE will generate 100 percent of its revenue through channel partners while providing channel partners with generous margins and support. Today KACE is pleased to announce the addition of two new VARs, 4Sight Group LLC (www.4sightgroup.com) and Vega Business Technologies (www.vegabiztech.com), into the new KACE Partner Program. KACE will continue to grow its channel on a controlled and selective basis with leading VARs across multiple disciplines including security, network and general IT management as well as other vertical markets.
"KBOX hits a nerve for security conscious companies looking to automate critical IT tasks. And, key channel players are cashing in on our new channel program" said Chris Moore, vice president of sales for KACE. "We're 100 percent committed to the channel and we're pursuing a model that is specifically designed to cap the number of qualified partners we engage with on a regional and vertical market basis."

The KACE Partner Program empowers partners to improve their client's IT productivity, security, and quality of service (QOS) by leveraging the comprehensive functionality, ease-of-use and affordability of the KBOX.
To ensure the success of each channel partner, KACE provides dedicated partner resources including an account manager to capitalize on sales opportunities; access to a web-based demo facility and Partner Portal; pre- and post- sales technical support; discounted demo units; as well as lead generation, a full complement of sales tools, and participation in co-marketing programs.
