ZSL Announces membership with ChannelLine Advisory Council (CLAC)

ZSL a global IT solution providers, today announced its membership with ChannelLine Advisory Council (CLAC).

"In the last eight months I've had discussions with more than 1,000 members of the Canadian and U.S. channels and virtually all of them have expressed interest in having a mechanism for recognizing and supporting 'quality' solution providers, especially from the solution providers themselves, said Mr. Robert Cohen, CLAC chairman and president of Integrated mar.com, publishers of eChannelLine. "Our mission is straightforward, making the channel stronger and more profitable," he said.

Although initial discussions about a channel certification began with the advisory council more than five years ago, it's only since CLAC expanded into the U.S. last October that certification became one of the top priorities. With U.S. membership quickly mushrooming to 700, along with approximately 75 members in Canada, momentum for delivering channel-building initiatives has accelerated, said Cohen.

Mr. Sudarshan Venkatraman, President and CEO, ZSL, said, "ZSL's future growth is dependent upon success in the channel and we are committed to building mutually profitable businesses with our channel partners. This new program helps ZSL better serve the market with one scalable structure, he added.

ZSL can extend its successful proven “Get-it-together” partnership program to other CLAC members, says Mr. Shiv Kumar, Executive Vice-President, ZSL.

"If we're promoting the industry, we want to make sure we're promoting the right part of the industry," Mr. Robert Cohen said. "We don't want to promote everybody."
