innovation and depth of expertise as a Symantec partner over the past year and we look forward to their continued success in 2008."
"It’s an honor to be named Platinum Partner of the Year now for the second time in three years. We knew that with Symantec’s acquisition of Altiris last
April that we were eventually going to be part of a much bigger partner community and this is the time to work harder and smarter than we ever have
before." said Chuck Hegarty, VP of Business Development & Alliances for ITS. "Now as a Symantec Platinum Partner, ITS is positioned very well to take
advantage of what we think is an unbeatable Endpoint Security and Management solution. One solution. One company. One that works!"
ITS attributes its success in 2007 to great relationships with the Symantec & Altiris Business Unit field sales and engineering teams, as well as other
Alliance and Large Account Reseller Partners. Their philosophy is that in many cases it makes sense to team with the other Alliance and LAR Partners to

ITS has certified eight Altiris on-staff engineers and have completed more than 80 Altiris implementations in the four years since ITS has been an Altiris partner. Their Altiris expertise is indispensable and they remain fanatically focused on driving business value for their customers.” Chuck Hegarty, VP of Sales for ITS, said, “2005 was a great year for ITS in many ways. Not only did we experience tremendous revenue growth but our success was diversified through many of the newer Altiris solutions. Outside of providing cost-saving IT automation, we were also able to help our customers achieve system security and deliver world-class IT service management.” The State of Indiana, Meijer Stores, Steelcase, Metro Health, and Farm Bureau were all significant projects for ITS during the year. ITS also attributes its success to great relationships with the Altiris field sales and engineering team to help cover more territory and drive more business. By establishing a solid working relationship between Altiris and ITS representatives, ITS was able to own opportunities from early in the sales cycle to allow Altiris regional managers to focus on top opportunities. Wade Wyant, ITS’ Director of Technology Solutions, went on to say, “Teaming an ITS Altiris Certified Engineer with an ITS account executive on every sales call is key to our success. When we were able to get a customer prospect to our offices for a full-blown presentation and demonstration our close ratio was upwards of 90 percent.” Altiris provides service-oriented management solutions for a future-proof approach to managing diverse and distributed information technology.
