February 25, 2010

Ottawa, On, Canada - February 25, 2010 – Level Platforms today announced that Dan Wensley, Vice President, Partner Development and Marketing, has been named a 2010 Channel Chief by the Everything Channel’s CRN.   Since joining Level Platforms’ executive team in 2005, Dan has successfully lead a team of channel professionals including three sales organizations, partner training, and technical support, effectively growing Level Platforms’ partner community to thousands of MSPs in more than 30 countries. 

Level Platforms has created one of most comprehensive Partner Programs in the industry. Using a practical and hands-on approach, the Level Platforms Partner Program includes everything solution providers need to create, market, sell and implement a profitable managed service offering to small and midsized businesses.  Complete with a best practices implementation model, the Level Platforms Partner Program means that virtually any solution provider can be delivering profitable managed services across their customer base within a few months.

Channel Chiefs are leaders in creating effective channel programs for solution providers.  They consistently defend, promote and execute effective channel partner programs and strategies. 

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. 

“The common goals of vendor and solution provider communities are to better equip and service end users with innovative technology and services.  The continued innovation of products and methods by which we deliver and provide services is what keeps those passionate about our industry committed and growing.  Managed Services has been at the forefront of much of this innovation for the past few years, and being part of this evolution as well as being recognized for these efforts is a great honor.  However, the results achieved as an industry can only partially be attributed to product innovation.   My thanks and congratulations go out to the solution provider community who understand, implement and support the constantly evolving innovation for their customers’ benefit”, said Dan Wensley.

“Being named a Channel Chief is one of the most prestigious honors in the IT industry.  This year’s Channel Chiefs offers 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.”
