ANXeBusiness Corp. Signs Cygnus Systems to Expanding Channel Program

Sept. 10, 2009 - PRLog -- ANXeBusiness Corp., a leading provider of networking and security managed services, today announced that it has signed Cygnus Systems as a new sales agent to its channel partner program.   Headquartered in Taylor, MI, Cygnus Systems focuses on the unique computing, networking and application needs of small to mid-sized businesses and offices in the southeastern Michigan area.

ANXeBusiness’ technology solutions are designed to help companies more effectively and easily manage the information flow between the organization, employees and partners. Cygnus Systems will begin selling ANX OfficeScreen Complete, a fully managed security solution providing comprehensive protection from security threats plus productivity enhancement tools.

OfficeScreen Complete is built upon two powerful security technologies -- ANX OfficeScreen and ANX PositivePro which provides customers with a full service solution that includes managed firewall, site-to-site VPN, URL filtering, and remote access capabilities.  When supporting five or more users, OfficeScreen Complete can also be bundled with wireless access point security, traffic shaping, and Internet failover support.
OfficeScreen Complete is also available with two-factor authentication software for additional security. The ANX OfficeScreen site-to-site VPN solution securely connects multiple company owned offices by establishing secure IPSec tunnels over existing broadband connectivity.  ANX PositivePRO is a fully managed VPN service that allows businesses to securely connect employees to a company LAN or intranet from a remote location.

“The addition of Cygnus Systems is vital to the ANX channel partner program and expands the reach of our best-in-class security technology for different vertical markets and industries,” said Jim Michels, vice president, Marketing for ANXeBusiness. “Having a respected partner like Cygnus will enhance our position in the marketplace because of the trust Cygnus’ customers place in them.”

“Cygnus Systems is pleased to be able to offer ANX OfficeScreen Complete as part of our product portfolio,” said Alex Burkulas, president of Cygnus Systems, Inc.  “For both our existing and future customers, being able to offer a complete and fully managed solution to address their information security and remote access concerns drives the value of what Cygnus brings as a trusted partner.”

Providing a portfolio of high-demand Managed Network Service, Transaction Delivery Service, and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) products, ANX’s partner program addresses new vertical industries while expanding the company’s geographical sales of PositivePro, OfficeScreen, and Office Screen Complete.  With a strong history of sales into the automotive original equipment and aftermarket, healthcare and financial industries, new verticals will be supported in the partner program as resellers and agents broaden the market acceptance of ANX products.

ANX has been headquartered in Michigan for more than 10 years and continues to expand rapidly, completing four business acquisitions during the last two years.  Most recently, the company was awarded the “Best of the Best Michigan Business” by Corp! Magazine and was named by Network Products Guide as a “HOT Company” for 2009.
