London, UK (PRWEB) June 20, 2011
GMO GlobalSign Ltd (http://www.globalsign.co.uk), one of the longest established Certification Authorities (CA) and specialist in SSL Partner Programs, today announces that existing partner XILO Communications Ltd (http://www.xilo.net), a UK web hosting and Internet services company has advanced its SSL reselling capabilities to become a GlobalSign Gold Partner. Benefiting from numerous additional partner features, XILO Communications can continue to increase its reselling potential, whilst further expanding this additional revenue stream.
XILO Communications first joined GlobalSigns Partner Program back in January 2009, following a review of their existing partnership with an alternative SSL Provider after a number of security concerns. XILO Communications chose to switch to GlobalSign to benefit from its highly trusted and feature-packed SSL Certificate range, as well as from its growing brand reputation and high level of customer service. This decision allowed them to complement their existing product portfolio of shared hosting, reseller hosting, virtual servers, dedicated servers, broadband and domain name solutions, by offering GlobalSign SSL Certificates, as a value add, or standalone product to new and existing customers.
Throughout the first year of reselling SSL Certificates, demand from customers continued to rise and in 2011 XILO Communications decided to progress to GlobalSigns Gold Partner level. GlobalSigns Gold Partners benefit from advanced program features including implementation of an automated renewals system, as well as a listing on the GlobalSign website. Other unique Partner Program features comprise of a dedicated account manager able to assist in all commercial aspects, and a marketing representative to help position and price SSL on partner websites and provide free resources and promotional materials such as press releases, HTML templates, campaign and advertising support, and creative input to drive SSL Sales. GlobalSign also prides itself on being able to provide 24/7 partner support and XILO Communications continues to benefit from this resource.
Switching to GlobalSign has allowed us to offer a wide range of SSL Certificates from a locally based CA, all with advanced features that arent always available from all SSL Providers. By positioning SSL Certificates as a standalone product alongside our core solutions, we are able to match the individual requirements of our customers, as well as attract a wider audience, says Matt Martin, Managing Director, XILO Communications Ltd. GlobalSigns Program also provides us with the extra recognition that goes alongside reselling a trusted providers range of SSL, strengthening our brand as well as helping our customers and their end customers alike feel more secure online.
We are delighted that after only a year in the program, XILO Communications has already decided to step up their participation and become a Gold-Level partner, said Paul Tourret, Managing Director, GMO GlobalSign Ltd. With our account management, sales and marketing expertise we hope to continue successfully driving Partner sales. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial relationship with this leading Internet Solutions Provider.
