This year is the 7th annual Partner Conference and enables Derdack to celebrate with its partners the success of the previous year and provides an opportunity to identify the challenges and best practices for the year ahead.  Whilst the effects of the economic downturn have meant the past year has not been easy for anyone in the industry, there were a good number of new contracts signed and more importantly, the response from customers continues to be very positive.

Derdack recently announced message master® nx, their next generation SMS & MMS service delivery platform.  Take up from companies including Vodafone Iceland demonstrate that this is another proven product that can be distributed through the partner channel giving further revenue generation opportunities to Derdack partners.

I would like to thank our partners for joining us again in 2009 and look forward to seeing them at our next event.”
