ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Sep 26, 2011 -- VAR Dynamics ( www.vardynamics.com ) today announced that it 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 VAR Dynamics "ReadyNow" partner platform enables partners to quickly offer these services by leveraging pre-built Control Panels and other sales and marketing tools that can also be customized and branded. "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 VAR Dynamics as a part of this prestigious body of vendors." "Achieving this accreditation is an important stamp of approval on the platform we have built the past several years to help MSPs enter the Cloud business application market," said Tony Francisco, CEO of VAR Dynamics. 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.
