The Voltage Select Partner Program includes sales training, technical training, joint account planning and sales support to ensure mutual success.

Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform™ Provides Foundation for Successful Business The Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform provides an open, innovative foundation for complete, integration of secure messaging solutions based on IBE. IBE greatly simplifies secure messaging by eliminating the need for costly infrastructure associated with the management of certificates. The Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform includes the award-winning application Voltage SecureMail™, as well as support for centralized administration by the Voltage SecurePolicy Server™ and policy-driven encryption from the network-edge with the Voltage IBE Gateway Server™. The Voltage IBE Toolkit™ enables resellers or end-user licensees to customize products and services to meet specific vertical-market applications. “Around the world, companies are looking for efficient solutions to address the growing concern for privacy and compliance that avoid the overhead and complexity often associated with secure messaging. Through our expanded partner program, we are helping our growing list of channel partners deliver the Voltage Enterprise Privacy Management Platform into their local markets. In doing so, we take a unique approach by working closely with our partners in both presales, marketing and technical training, as well as post sale support of their customers.
