Allied CNT to pep up sales reps of resellers

Allied CNT Solutions, a Mumbai-based security solutions provider, is offering

sales persons of its resellers a cash-back offer on selling combination of Check

PointResilience solutions to customers. The cash-back incentive can range from

Rs 13,000 to Rs 43,000 on every bundle sold. The offer will remain valid until

June 2005.

Besides the cash-back offer for the sales persons, there will be a gift for

the top seller that will be announced at the end of June '05. Currently, there

are about 75 reseller partners working with Allied CNT across the country.

According to Arun Pathak, Country Manager, Allied CNT Solutions, this is the

first time such a scheme is being announced on any appliance in combination with

Check Point firewall by any security solution provider. The Check

Point-Resilience combination offer lets customers run a firewall on high

availability under active-passive mode with just one Check Point license.

"So the saving is approximately Rs 3.5 lakh. This is about 5% saving for

the reseller on purchase of the Check Point-Resilience pack. This option is not

available with any other combination," informed Arun.

A single bundle would cost anywhere between Rs 15 lakh to Rs 40 lakh.

According to Arun, the key to surviving and thriving in this new digital

environment is to create a highly flexible and responsive organization.

Resilience offers a complete product line of Integrated High Availability (iHA)

security appliances, all based on Check Point's next generation security

software. "These two make an excellent combination to ensure secure and

reliable Internet communications," added Arun.
