Intronis Teams Up with HTG Peer Groups to Drive Technology Reseller Success

BOSTON—February 16, 2010—Intronis, a SAS 70-certified online data backup and recovery solution, today announced a strategic partnership with HTG Peer Groups  (HTG) that will offer IT service providers business and technical insights and strategies for reselling online backup.
HTG facilitates IT peer groups focused on business improvement and growth. At their quarterly meetings, members share process improvements, conduct business reviews, and discuss industry best practices with the aim of deepening their knowledge and advancing their businesses.
Through HTG’s partnership with Intronis, members will be able to leverage Intronis’ expertise and experience partnering with online backup resellers to improve their business processes, analyze their critical business operations and develop their service offerings.

“In the technology reseller industry, it’s very important for these business leaders to be able to collaborate and network in a non-competitive environment,” said Eric Webster, vice president of sales and marketing at Intronis.” We believe it is our responsibility to develop and enhance the education of the IT industry—both in terms of online backup and in terms of best business practices.”

HTG’s unique member-to-member knowledge sharing format is an efficient, practical method that allows members to take a proactive role in their own business development.
HTG CEO and founder Arlin Sorensen said, “We are excited to add Intronis as one of our vendor sponsors. Offsite backup is no longer a luxury for any business, and the Intronis solution will be extremely valuable to members as they work to protect one of the most valuable assets our HTG member company customers have – their data.  We are glad to have Intronis on board and look forward to watching our collective businesses grow as we take care of the data and reduce the risk of catastrophic failure.”
