Policy Compliance Management: Symantec Bindview Control Compliance Suite, Symantec Enterprise Vault, and Symantec DeepSight Alert Services allow mid-sized organizations to fulfill complex, regulatory compliance regulations and meet industry standards through protection and policy management solutions for Windows environments.
"Through its collection, exhibitions, and online projects, the Museum of the Moving Image educates the public about the creative processes in film, television, and digital media," said Carl Goodman, deputy director and director of digital media, Museum of the Moving Image. "As we move ahead in providing online access to our important collection, the tools and procedures used to secure our valuable digital assets must be industrial strength. Symantec provides the Museum with critical behind-the-scenes support to safeguard this irreplaceable data across our Windows Environment, and ensure it is protected and recoverable."
As the fastest growing market segment there is vast opportunity to be realized, with approximately 8.2 million businesses in the United States alone, and according to AMI-Partners 40 million small businesses account for 97 percent of all businesses globally. For Symantec, the partner community provides the most critical conduit into this SMB marketplace. To ensure their success, Symantec is making a 50 percent investment increase in its Symantec Partner Program to create small and mid-market partner tools and training, and an additional 300 percent investment in the company's partner systems infrastructure.
To help partners looking to grow their services business in the SMB market, Symantec is offering a variety of service enablement tools including in-depth technical training, business case ROI tools, and Symantec Yellow Books which outline customer use case scenarios and implementation best practices. Partners can also work with the Symantec Consulting Services organization to resell custom consulting engagements or Symantec ProLaunch, an on-site consulting services engagement designed to make it easier for customers to realize the full benefits of Symantec products.

"Symantec has been a valued partner in helping us address this market segment. Having a single partner that can offer products to address varying levels of risk and business complexity, coupled with top notch performance and support makes us confident in recommending Symantec solutions."
