8 November, 2007, Paris, France — Acronis EMEA (www.acronis.co.uk), a provider of affordable, scaleable storage management and disaster recovery software, today announced the Acronis Certified Engineer (ACE) training programme for its UK channel partners.

The programme provides Acronis’ channel partners with the knowledge, skills, and credentials necessary to deploy, administer, and maintain the company’s award-winning family of backup, disaster recovery, deployment and migration solutions. Partners who become ACE certified will gain the technical expertise required to ensure successful customer implementations as well as provide pre- and post-sales support.

Acronis is launching weekly online training sessions as a key component of the ACE training programme. Registration for the training sessions can be completed at the company’s online certification centre: http://www.certification.acronis.eu/. In addition to the online sessions, Acronis will offer in-depth, on-site training courses tailored to meet specific partner needs.

Laurent Dedenis, vice president of international sales at Acronis said: "Backup, disaster recovery, deployment and migration solutions are critical to keeping the corporate IT infrastructure running efficiently. The demand for advanced and cost-effective solutions to move, manage and maintain digital assets remains a top priority.

"Over the past year, we have strongly expanded our channel network and we want to demonstrate our commitment to both our partners and customers - ensuring that they get the best expertise and value when working with us," he added.

Benefits of obtaining an ACE qualification include:

One not-for-resale (NFR) license of Acronis True Image Workstation back-up and restore software (one license per ACE)
Access to additional technical trainings on new products
Eligibility for the Acronis beta testing programme

The ACE qualification is the first step in a series of initiatives planned to build a comprehensive channel programme that will help Acronis’ partners to successfully promote and deliver Acronis solutions to the market.
