• Providing superior technology and infrastructure, consisting of industry-leading software and hardware that
allow resellers to provide these services to their customers without having to make substantial investments in
their own software or hardware.
Although we encounter pricing pressure in many markets in which we compete, we believe the effects of that
pressure are mitigated by the fact that we deliver a high degree of value to our resellers through our business and
technical practices. We believe our status as a trusted supplier also allows us to mitigate the effects of this type of
competition. We believe that the long-term relationships we have made with many resellers results in a sense of certainty
that would not be available to those resellers through a competitor.
