LONG BEACH, Calif. — Laserfiche, a provider of premier document management software solutions, has been honored with a “5-Star VAR” award by the editors of GovernmentVAR magazine. The prestigious designation recognizes the 25 best government-focused technology partner programs in the nation. It is the first time the magazine has given awards specifically for government-related reseller programs.

Laserfiche’s government VAR channel was chosen for the award as of result of its lead referral system, access to United States General Services Administration (GSA) schedules, and comprehensive proposal and sales support resources. Laserfiche has a network of 1,100 total resellers, many of which specialize exclusively in the local and federal government markets.

“Laserfiche has its roots in the government market, and we are constantly in contact with our government-sector VARs to ensure our channel has access to superior sales and support resources,” said John Devine, director of government solutions at Laserfiche. “This award is a symbol of our ongoing commitment to make sure the Laserfiche VAR program consistently remains one of the best in the country.”

In 2005, Laserfiche enhanced its VAR services, creating an expanded VAR-exclusive Web portal, posting an online knowledge base with helpful articles on business and sales issues, and establishing an account management team based at Laserfiche’s corporate headquarters to provide customer support and increase the number of solid sales leads passed on to VARs.
