Who the i-Witness program is designed for
The i-Witness program is designed for IT service and solution providers, often termed value-added resellers (VARs) or systems integrators (SIs), who provide a combination of hardware/software technology, remote monitoring and management, IT consulting, and IT infrastructure management. The program is best suited to those IT businesses which:

Sell services or services as a component of delivery of IT solutions to customers
Resell hardware or software but increasingly are being asked by customers to provide monitoring and management for those products
May already provide 8x5 support for IT infrastructure but lack the capital, sufficient revenue or expertise to build a full 24x7 managed service operation
May already deliver managed services in one area, such as networking or servers, but lack the expertise to expand coverage for their customers in other disciplines such as security monitoring
Desire to increase recurring revenue streams as a percentage of their revenue base
