WOBURN, Mass., Feb. 25, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LogMeIn (Nasdaq:LOGM) today announced that Conan Reidy, its Vice President, Business Development, has been named a 2010 Channel Chief by the Everything Channel's CRN. Channel Chiefs are leaders in creating effective channel programs for solution providers. They consistently promote effective channel partner programs and strategies.
LogMeIn's partnership with Intel is among the achievements that solidified Reidy's recognition as a Channel Chief. Service providers can now use Intel Remote PC Assist Technology (RPAT) to connect to computers via the Internet even when those computers are off or the operating system isn't available. By using the new Intel RPAT with LogMeIn remote support and remote management solutions, managed service providers (MSPs) can lower their support costs, while extending a superior service experience to their clients.
For the eighth consecutive year the Channel Chiefs were chosen by Everything Channel editorial based on criteria including policy and program innovations made during the past year, the amount of revenue their company generates through partners, their willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel, and the number of years they have dedicated to channel activities.
"It's an honor to be recognized for our commitment to the service provider channel," said Reidy. "Our support and management products are designed to make IT professionals more efficient, more mobile -- and more money. We also appreciate recognition for our integration with Intel. LogMeIn Pro2 is the only product on the market that enables service providers to deliver support 'below the OS.' It's truly revolutionary technology, and it's a standard feature of Pro2."
"Being named a Channel Chief is one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry. This year's Channel Chiefs offer tremendous insight into the who's who of the Channel," said Kelley Damore, VP, Editorial Director, Everything Channel. "Top channel executives consistently ensure that the Channel's voice is heard when strategic decisions are being made and continually nurture mutually profitable relationships. We applaud the 2010 Channel Chiefs for their successful partner programs and strategies."
