MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – May 16, 2016 — /BackupReview.info/ — Intermedia, a one-stop shop for cloud IT applications for businesses and the partners who serve them, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has once again named Irina Shamkova, Senior Vice President of Product Management, to its prestigious Women of the Channel list. The women executives who comprise this annual list span the IT channel, representing vendors, distributors, solution providers and other organizations that figure prominently in the channel ecosystem. Each woman is recognized for her outstanding leadership, vision, and unique role in driving channel growth and innovation.

CRN editors select the Women of the Channel honorees on the basis of their professional accomplishments, demonstrated expertise and ongoing dedication to the IT channel.

As a 2016 Women of the Channel, Shamkova continues to deliver products ready-made for the channel. This year, Shamkova and her team helped spearhead the launch of several new products and support plans including:

  • Comprehensive file backup – changes to Intermedia’s private-label SecuriSync®, making it the only enterprise-grade 2-in-1 file backup and sharing solution on the market
  • PRIVATE CLOUD – expanding its dedicated cloud offering for Exchange and related applications to support businesses that need greater flexibility and control
  • INTERMEDIA’S DEDICATED EXCHANGE ON AWS – a strategic collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to offer expert Exchange management on the AWS platform
  • Cloud PBX – enhancements to VoIP Scout, Intermedia’s proprietary network testing solution, helping partners increase customer satisfaction and close more deals
  • PARTNER PROGRAM – continued partner-first developments to the products, control panel, and support benefits across the entire customer lifecycle

“These executives have made a lasting mark on our industry—growing and elevating partner programs, leading transitions to new business models and introducing cutting-edge go-to-market strategies, among other remarkable achievements.” said Robert Faletra, CEO at The Channel Company. “We congratulate all the 2016 Women of the Channel and celebrate their singular contributions to the advancement of the channel ecosystem.”

“Under Irina’s leadership, Intermedia has established a channel-first product suite of 30 applications, all managed within one integrated control panel,” said Michael Gold, CEO at Intermedia. “Irina and her team propel partners toward success by pairing product innovations with partner success tools that include product education, sales support, complementary campaigns-in-a-box and many other resources. Irina was instrumental in transforming our SecuriSync product into the first 2-in-1 combined file sharing and backup service, which is now helping resellers achieve a major leap forward in profitability and differentiation. I congratulate Irina on this well-deserved recognition and look forward to all the new ways she’ll reinforce our partner-first commitment in the near future.”
