San Francisco - August 20, 2007 - Yipes Enterprise Services, Inc., the leading global provider of managed Ethernet and application delivery services, announced the launch of the Yipes Solution Partner Program to give enterprise customers access to best-of-breed solutions tailored to their needs. Yipes customers benefit with one-stop shopping for complementary solutions that meet the unique challenges of their businesses. Partners benefit by working with a global network provider that customizes solutions to fit the needs of specific industries and applications. Solution Partners provide a wide range of solutions, including hardware, software, integration services, network services, managed services, and content services.

 

"Yipes created the Solution Partner Program as part of its commitment to provide complete solutions to our enterprise customers," said Keao Caindec, chief marketing officer at Yipes. "The program enhances our tight focus on specific vertical markets by bringing partners that serve these markets into the Yipes fold-and it's another example of our obsession with providing our customers with top-tier service. Joint Yipes-partner customers will reap the benefits of having a team that understands their unique business challenges and makes it easy to solve them."

 

Members of the Yipes Solution Partner Program offer best-of-breed hardware, software, systems integration, application and managed services, and consulting services that rely on high-performance networks. The new Program includes industry leaders such as LexisNexis, a leading provider of information and services solutions; Kraft Kennedy & Lesser, which provides technology and strategic consulting services to law firms, corporate legal departments, and financial services firms; and Recovery Networks, which offers complete solutions for disaster recovery.

 

In addition to the Solution Partner Program, Yipes offers three other partnership programs: Yipes FinancialConnect! Partners - financial exchanges, ECNs and trading platforms, Carrier Partners - global Ethernet services partners, and Technology Partners - providers of technology that powers the Yipes network. The combination of the Yipes platform and partners' core competencies offers customers the best of both worlds. Yipes will continue to expand its new program by adding partners that are leaders in their respective industries.

 

"LexisNexis became a Solution Partner because Yipes is focused on providing high-performance network services, which is critical to delivering our turnkey hosted solutions," said Terry Williams, director of hosted services, LexisNexis. "Many of our legal customers already benefit from Yipes' private, cost-effective, scalable access."

 

"Working with Yipes enables us to successfully deliver the business and technology solutions that help our law firm clients optimize their technology infrastructure and investment," said Peter Kennedy, chairman of Kraft Kennedy & Lesser, Inc. "Becoming a member of Yipes' Solution Partner Program not only brings our alliance to a new level but will also provide us with more opportunities to serve our clients."
