(OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). BB:AMQT) announced today the details of a new program for VARs and SIs under its Silent Partner(TM) services banner. The new program includes technical, logistical, marketing and financial services, all available to AmeriQuest customers on an as-needed, project-by-project basis, to "help them build their businesses without building their overhead," according to according to prep. 1.

The goal of Silent Partner services is to provide VARs and SIs with critical services they may require as a supplement to their in-house resources, to fill a specific gap in their resources on a short-term basis, and overall to give them an experienced and competent full-featured out-source alternative. "Through our Silent Partner services, we can handle as much or as little of any opportunity as our customers need," said Mr. Kramer. "The benefit to them is that each of our services is available on a just-in-time and as-needed basis. They can `rent' as much or as little as they need from a single source they know, which frees them from trying to coordinate a variety of sources, and also from the potential business risk of unnecessarily committing to excess overhead costs overhead costs see fixed costs. ." The new program includes a wide array of services under four broad categories: technical, logistical, marketing and financial. "Essentially, we can function as a back up systems integrator and technical resource; project manager; back office coordinator; and/or marketing department," said Mr. Kramer. "The name itself - Silent Partner - describes how we deliver these services for our resellers: behind the scenes, away from the view of our resellers' customers if they prefer. We're perfectly content to be their silent partner subcontractor One who takes a portion of a contract from the principal contractor or from another subcontractor. When an individual or a company is involved in a large-scale project, a contractor is often hired to see that the work is done. ." Providing such a broad range of services is not new to AmeriQuest. A little known fact, according to Mr. Kramer, is that the original Pennsylvania-based company now known as AmeriQuest started in 1979 as a provider of computer integration expertise. Product distribution and fulfillment operations actually began later as an offshoot. A major reason for highlighting the services side of the company now, AmeriQuest executives said, is that the practical needs of VARs and SIs have expanded a great deal over the years. Technology continues to change rapidly and solutions are becoming ever more complex, straining the in-house resources of many VARs and SIs at the same time that competition for experienced people is greater than ever before. "The 'build or buy' dilemma has always been there for solutions resellers," said Mr. Kramer. "I know it well, having been a VAR myself prior to joining this organization years ago. However, I think the magnitude of the problem has accelerated in recent years. Customer demands are greater, pressure to perform has become more intense, while experienced help is scarce and costly. Every VAR or SI eventually finds themselves stretching their internal resources beyond what they feel is comfortable." "That first-hand experience - plus two decades of working with VARs and systems integrators every day - helped us refine our service offerings to meet their particular needs," added Mr. Kramer. "We know this market. We truly understand what it takes for our customers to win and execute their projects. Now - through our Silent Partner program - there's a more easily understood way for them to use our technical and other expertise to grow their businesses without necessarily growing their fixed expenses." A new brochure, which covers all the elements of Silent Partner services, is available from AmeriQuest. Requests for this brochure can be emailed to info@ameriquest.com, or by calling 800/223-7081.
