The award recognizes Mimosa NearPoint’s product reliability and rich feature-set.

Mimosa NearPoint provides resellers with tremendous opportunities in many different markets. It enables resellers to quickly address various customer requirements around email archiving, eDiscovery, regulatory compliance, business continuity, and storage optimization in a unified solution. The product provides comprehensive content archiving, mailbox management, self-service recovery, “one-click” recovery, and end-user search in a single unified product offering.

"Resellers’ passionate enthusiasm for Mimosa NearPoint made it easy for us to include it on the Best Channel Products list," said Sue Bresee, publisher of Business Solutions Magazine. "Resellers rated Mimosa NearPoint very high overall in the Data Management Software category, and particularly high in richness of features/functionality and product reliability/durability."

They consistently praise the product’s versatility, rich functionality, and ease-of-use.”

From May through mid June of 2009, Business Solutions Magazine surveyed more than 2,100 reseller subscribers online.
