MTM Technologies, Inc. Joins With HP & Citrix Systems to Help NYC Businesses Keep Running During Republican National Convention
New York, N.Y. – August 18, 2004 - MTM Technologies, Inc., (NASDAQ: MTMC), a leading computer and communications technology management company providing IT networking and data center services, including storage, security, messaging and IP telephony solutions today announced that it has joined with long-time partners HP and Citrix Systems to provide secure remote access strategy solutions for NYC-based companies that will be affected by the upcoming Republican National Convention. The solutions are designed to allow the employees of affected companies to securely and efficiently access all company programs and data from their homes using any available computer.
“By allowing their employees to ‘Get To Work Without Going To Work’,” explained Howard M. Cohen, MTM Senior Vice President of Corporate Development, “we’re hoping to save our neighbors a tremendous amount of money and productivity that would be lost while their employees sat in snarled traffic on trains, buses, taxis, and cars that will all be immobilized during the convention, making this a great way to demonstrate how our technologies can make a real difference for New York’s business community while letting us do our part to help our city during a challenging time.”
“HP and Citrix Systems approached MTM to help with this campaign,” added Howard Pavony, President & COO of MTM , “because we are a leading ‘go-to’ partner with both HP and Citrix Systems, having earned Gold Enterprise Storage Elite status with HP and Platinum Partner status with Citrix Systems. Both of these credentials demonstrate the investment MTM has made in trained and certified consulting and engineering specialists to add tremendous value by helping implement these industry-leading technologies for customers.”
Frank Alfano, CEO of MTM, said, “We are proud that our partners HP and Citrix Systems selected MTM to join with them in providing this worthwhile solution to NYC-based customers. After hearing of the great results they achieved for Boston-based businesses during the Democratic National Convention, we became convinced that our decision to get involved was the right one. Next time, of course, we look forward to joining with our partners in projects like these around the country as we continue our national expansion.”
The partnership is making a significant investment in letting NYC businesses know about this program by advertising it in direct mail, news radio, and a novel promotion that delivers “stress-grip” elephants commemorating the Convention, along with a message that says “For More Stress Relief During the Convention, Call MTM Technologies.”
