WildPackets Hosts Annual EU Partners Meeting

Partners Program Refocused, Business Development Emphasis

Walnut Creek, CA - September 17, 2002

WildPackets Inc., leading developers of award-winning, expert network management tools, announced plans for their annual European Partners Meeting, to take place in Amsterdam in late September. Despite weakness in many economies around the world, WildPackets has realized significant revenue growth from their international sales channels in the last year. WildPackets’ EU partner network has nearly tripled since the last Partners’ meeting in September of 2001.

Bob Siegel, WildPackets’ newly-appointed VP of International Sales, will be among the presenters at this meeting. "For the past twelve months, WildPackets has worked hard to identify and partner with well-established SI and VAR organizations in the EU reseller community," states Siegel. "We’ve done a good job in leveraging their market knowledge and sales and support mechanisms to gain exposure for our products in many high-profile accounts. Our aim with this meeting is to add more structure to our channel program, to re-position our tools to maximize sales in the current economic climate, to present a map of new product direction, and to equip our partners to more fully represent us to the EU IT community."

Richard Buchanan, WildPackets’ EU Business Development Director stresses, "We have an extremely attractive value proposition, and the right partners to take our message to the small, medium and large enterprise customer. Our new channel program will serve to emphasize WildPackets’ commitment to the international community, and reaffirm our goals of expanding our presence and reach in the region."
