February 2006

The eMerge Certified Dealer program continues to gain momentum as over 100 dealers and more than 250 individuals have received certification approval on IEI's browser managed security platform. Certification is required before dealers can receive technical and product support.

In recognition of each company's investment in certification, new kits are being rolled out to the principal contact person at each eMerge Certified Dealer location beginning in February. The kits will include a customized display plaque as well as new eMerge binders with support and sales tools. The complete contents of the kit are pictured below.
