SlipStream Strengthens Leadership Position By Gaining Market Share From Competitors
SlipStream Continues to Win Over ISP Partners By Delivering Stability, Reliability, Outstanding Customer Service, and The Fastest Web and Email Acceleration
Waterloo, Ontario – November 3, 2004 – ISPs of all sizes are replacing their existing web and email accelerator technologies, opting instead to use SlipStream’s web and e-mail acceleration software — the defacto industry standard.
While other vendors offering competitive technology solutions have struggled in recent months, SlipStream has won over several ISP and wholesaler partners. These wins include StarNet, Redgap Networks, XLC, CISP, Kickin’ Internet, and OnSpeed, a leading European Internet service provider, who have all opted for faster performance and the reliability of the SlipStream SP (Service Provider) solution.
The success of SlipStream’s solution highlights the demand that ISPs are experiencing to offer more affordable high-speed Internet access and supporting value-added services. SlipStream’s acceleration technology is also helping service providers extend their service offering by accelerating critical business data, providing fast and secure access to remote and mobile workers using SlipStream’s SE (Secure Enterprise) software.
“Many ISPs have been burned in the past by supporting web and email acceleration products that didn’t scale, required extensive support or failed to meet performance expectations,” said Ron Neumann, president of SlipStream. “Our track record of delivering superior technology and service give ISPs a chance to diversify and differentiate their dial-up service offering and grow their business while incurring little risk.”
Accelerated dial-up capabilities are fast becoming
a standard when choosing an ISP, as more and more service providers
push to offer an alternative to broadband. SlipStream further enhances
the benefits to ISPs by delivering a fast and easy-to-deploy solution,
multi-platform support, complete integration with third-party software,
and renowned customer service, resulting in one of the industry’s
most complete and affordable solutions for improving customer satisfaction
and retention.
“Not all web and email accelerators are created equal,”
said Dustin Wade, president of CISP. “We switched to SlipStream
because their technology gave us a real competitive edge. Aside
from facilitating deployment in a matter of weeks, SlipStream delivered
on their promises to provide superior performance, a reduction in
support costs, and full branding and integration capabilities. All
of these factors greatly impacted customer satisfaction and our
bottom line.”
SlipStream is the defacto standard in the accelerated dial-up market, with over 900 ISP partners worldwide. The company’s sophisticated web and email acceleration technologies compress, optimize and streamline web content and emails, providing a dramatic improvement in access speeds over any network. This technology gives ISPs a fast and flexible way of rolling out fully-branded services that reduce subscriber churn by offering users a more fulfilling online experience.
SlipStream is actively signing up channel partners in the ISP, Corporate and Wireless markets and is sourcing alliance opportunities to embed its core technology in complementary hardware and software solutions that address critical business needs.
