SEATTLE, March 16 -- Verdiem, a leading provider of enterprise PC power management software solutions, today announced the Verdiem Channel Partner Program, a global program dedicated to providing sales and marketing support to channel partners. Verdiem kicked off the program today with its first channel sales and training event in Seattle.

The program is available to Resellers, Value Added Resellers (VARs), Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs).

"As Verdiem continues to innovate and deliver market-leading energy management solutions, we are committed to helping our channel partners capitalize on the growing trend in energy management and green IT," said Jim Flatley, Vice President of Sales at Verdiem. "Today, fewer than 10 percent of organizations worldwide use any kind of PC power management software. This translates into an enormous market opportunity for Verdiem Channel Partners to create or expand green IT offerings and help their customers achieve significant energy and cost-savings using SURVEYOR."

The Verdiem Channel Partner Program is guided by six essential principles to ensure partner success. These include: enabling partners to effectively offer Verdiem's solutions and services; fostering growth through competitive pricing and incentives; providing market leadership and innovative green solutions; generating momentum with creative demand generation programs; responding quickly to partner needs and lastly, delivering world-class sales, marketing and technical support.
