MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - June 12, 2007) - Kazeon, a leading provider of enterprise
information access solutions, today announced it has been selected by CRN,
part of CMP's family of Channel Solutions, as a CRN Emerging Technology
vendor for its Information Server IS1200 product family. CRN's Emerging
Technology list recognizes companies that have developed a highly

Enterprise information access and automation. Through innovative data
indexing, classification and search technology, Kazeon has helped hundreds

According to the 2007 CRN Emerging Tech Survey, the top reasons solution
providers add emerging technologies include: the technology is superior to
other products in the market segment; the technology complements a solution
provider's existing practice areas; emerging vendors provide better
services opportunities; emerging vendors pay better attention to partners;
emerging vendors offer higher margins; customers want alternative product
choices; and emerging vendors have better joint marketing programs. In
addition, 61 percent of solution providers surveyed plan to increase the
number of emerging technology vendors they partner with in the next 12
months.
"Successful Solution Providers are always looking for new and innovative
partners, and the CRN Emerging Tech list provides a way for them to
discover a large number of potential new partners who offer a wide range of
emerging technologies," said Heather Clancy, vice president and editor of
CRN.
Vendors who make the CRN Emerging Tech list must have an established
solution provider program and formal guidelines for recruiting channel
partners. They must demonstrate that its direct sales mix is trending down
as evidenced by the company's revenue history, a channel positive or
channel neutral strategy for internal sales compensation, and not be a
dominant market share player. Final selection to the Emerging Technology
list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of
the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted
partners.
