Morphlabs joins vendor-neutral program for benchmarking
service-enabling technology vendors worldwide
El Segundo, Calif.—February 24, 2010— Morphlabs Inc. (www.mor.ph), a comprehensive cloud computing platform enabler for enterprise and service providers, today announced that it has received accreditation under the MSPAlliance’s (MSPA) Vendor Accreditation Program (VAP). VAP is the first program of its kind, specifically designed by managed service providers (MSPs) as a benchmark for vendors who sell to that community. Vendors who bear the VAP seal have shown they abide by the highest principles of quality in areas such as financial stability, positive channel practices, product research and development, and MSP customer satisfaction.
“The Vendor Accreditation Program is important to MSPs, since companies that receive accreditation have demonstrated their ongoing commitment to the channel,” said Charles Weaver, president of the MSPAlliance. “We are very proud to have Morphlabs as a part of this prestigious body of vendors.”
VAP was created using a wide base of criteria considered critical to MSPs when selecting a vendor. Criteria examined during the accreditation process include:
- Business Practices, which focuses on channel development, channel competition safeguards and experience in the managed services industry;
- Product Roadmap, which examines the vendor’s willingness to invest in its products to ensure continued, ongoing relevance for the MSPs;
- Financial, which analyzes financial stability to ensure adequate support of channel initiatives and product development; and
- Client References, by which the vendor must provide at least three MSP-specific client references.
“Our membership in the MSPAlliance is a significant event for Morphlabs and reflects our commitment to the managed services provider market,” said Winston Damarillo, CEO of Morphlabs. “We expect 2010 to be a big year for our company as we roll out our open standards solution to empower our MSP partners to deliver elastic computing capabilities within private and public cloud infrastructures.”
