InMage’s Chris Stack Named a 2011 Channel Chief By Everything Channel’s CRN

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 8, 2011 – InMage (www.inmage.com), the leading independent software vendor of disk-based, business application recovery solutions for mid tier and larger enterprises,, today announced that Senior Director of Channel Sales Chris Stack has been named a 2011 Channel Chief by Everything Channel’s CRN magazine for the third consecutive year.  The criteria for selecting Channel Chiefs include the executive's ability to implement policy and program innovations during the past year, the amount of revenue the company generates through partners and the nominee's willingness to speak out publicly on behalf of the channel as well as the number of years dedicated to channel activities.

“It is an honor to receive this award.” says Stack. “I believe our success has been built on customer responsiveness - listening to our channel partners and using their feedback as well as that of their customers. We use that feedback to improve the Scout product by incorporating requested functionality and improve our internal channel processes or programs so that it is easy to do business with us.”

Stack has been responsible for InMage’s significant accomplishments in the channel over the past year, including a training program that incorporated hands-on work and intensive labs to better equip partners for effective selling, implementation and support of InMage products. He also spearheaded an expansion in the company’s MSP partner base and effectively recruited storage VARs that have a focused virtualization practice. InMage also developed and launched an online product advisor, providing partners with a quick, automated and seamless way to configure and quote our product line.

"The CRN Channel Chiefs list is a comprehensive listing of the leading channel executives at vendor organizations and their accomplishments," said Kelley Damore, vice president and editorial director, Everything Channel. "This prestigious list serves as a valuable must-read for solution providers looking to get to the right contacts within the vendor community.
