Best Software Creates a Comprehensive Web Resource Library for Business Partners

Tools Help Partners More Easily Create and Update Their Own Web Sites

IRVINE, CA -- 01/03/2005 -- Best Software today announced it has created a comprehensive Web Resource Library to assist its network of more than 6,000 Mid-Market Division business partners as they establish and maintain their own unique Web presence. The Web tools will also help ensure the company and its partners communicate with one consistent voice, while maintaining the integrity of the Best Software brand.

“Some of our most successful business partners have achieved their results because they have made their Web presence a core strategy for generating new business,” said Taylor Macdonald, Best Software’s executive vice president, Channel and Sales Operations, Mid-Market Division. “These new Web resources will give a boost to partners who need help creating or updating their sites, and will go a long way in helping them effectively promote their businesses to increase sales.”

The Best Software Web Resource Library contains all the tools and resources partners need for their own company Web sites, including new partner and product logos, new Web graphics, a Web Resource Guide, and thousands of Web template designs.

The Web template designs are being offered through oneKWeb, a company that helps small- and mid-sized businesses create Web sites cost-effectively. Sites can be delivered to business partners at a special rate of $1,000 per Web site, including site design that supports Best Software’s branding standards and guidelines, one year of hosting, and unlimited e-mails. The Best Software-oneKweb partnership Web site can be reached at www.best.onekweb.com.
