WEBROOT EXTENDS MOMENTUM OF CHANNEL EDGE PARTNER PROGRAM

April 19, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Boulder, Colo., April 2007 — Webroot Software, Inc., a leading provider of security software for the consumer, enterprise and SME markets, today introduced the Webroot® System Builder Program, the latest exclusive program tailored for solution providers who build custom desktop and notebook computer systems. The Webroot System Builder Program allows these solution providers to purchase Webroot software licenses in bulk from Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world’s largest technology distributor, for volume discounts and greater efficiency.
“Webroot understands the challenges system builders face and has designed a way to deliver complete Internet security solutions in a more efficient manner rather than requiring us to buy products one at a time,” said Joe Gregory, service and repair supervisor, ARRC Technology. “This saves us significant time and money and allows us to provide complete, cost-effective solutions to our customers.”
The program offers system builders cost savings and convenience by allowing them to purchase 30 or 100 packs of Webroot Spy Sweeper® software, Webroot Spy Sweeper® with AntiVirus software and Webroot Window Washer® software through Webroot’s primary distributor, Ingram Micro.

“System builders understand how important it is for their customers to be protected from dangerous Internet security attacks from the minute a new system is turned on,” said Mike Irwin, COO, Webroot Software, Inc. “The System Builder Program is another example of how Webroot is working with our partners to give these experts the world’s most effective Internet security software in a cost efficient and expedient form-factor.”

System Builders who take advantage of Webroot’s System Builder Program will receive the following:

• The world’s most effective, best-of-breed security products
• Competitive discounts and financial incentives
• Quick and easy ordering via bulk packs or electronic key codes
• Channel Edge monthly newsletter including industry updates and ongoing promotions
• NFR licenses

System builders can buy physical products for one-year licenses or electronic products for one-, two- or three-year licenses.
How to Order
System Builders may place orders through Ingram Micro by contacting Jason Lawniczak, dedicated volume licensing specialist, at 800.456.8000 x76795 or Webroot-licensing@ingrammicro.com.
