FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Danville Business Selected as “Killer VAR”NexLAN among elite eleven nationwideJune 6, 2005 - Danville, Illinois NexLAN is proud to accept their selection as a “Killer VAR” by Accounting Technology, a leading journal in the accounting industry. Each year, the publication recognizes a select number of value-added resellers (VARs) who represent the best of the nation’s accounting software solutions providers. NexLAN is honored to be one of only eleven VARs selected for 2005. Every year I am involved in selecting a Killer VAR or a Pacesetter, I come back to one conclusion--that success is in the plan and its execution." In Unlocking the Secrets of Success: The Leaders of 2005 Share Their Insights, NexLAN is praised for the company-wide commitment to developing solid relationships with customers, leading industry vendors, and local business organizations including Vermilion Advantage. “In a small market like Danville, Ill., building relationships is critical,” the article explains, quoting NexLAN President Kevin Stroud as saying, “In consulting, it’s about relationships. Mid-tier accounting vendors will tell you it’s not. But at the VAR level, it’s about the customer relationship.” NexLAN’s Killer VAR designation is the result of years of experience as a top AccountMate Business Partner, placing first in sales in the 17-state Central U.S. region for both 2003 and 2004 and for the first quarter of 2005. However, as Richard McCausland, Senior Editor of Accounting Technology wrote of the Killer VARs, “Sales volume alone isn’t enough to warrant the Accounting Technology 'Killer VAR' designation. No, a more substantial measure of achievement is called for—namely, a tenacious commitment to customer satisfaction, especially when market conditions are tough…this year’s honorees all rose to the challenge—and prevailed”. Stroud is quick to credit his staff’s effort and expertise for the success of the business. The article notes, “Another important strategy is creating a good atmosphere for the staff. … His staff is a bit unusual in the market in that it does not include any CPAs. … But Stroud says that he has gained enough accounting knowledge from his years in business that, ‘I’m not a CPA, but I could play one on TV.’” Contact: Kevin E.
