PLACENTIA, CA – February 1, 2004 – Computer Lab International™ Inc. (CLI), a leading provider of devices, software, and services for the thin client market, today announced the launch of their new reseller partner program, PartnerPLUS.

Through the PartnerPLUS Program, Computer Lab International (CLI) offers qualified resellers a loyal, channel-friendly approach to enhance thin client offerings, increase margins, and facilitate the ease in which they market and support CLI thin clients.

CLI’s thin client family includes a range of products from the Simple, Value-priced Windows CE .NET ET1500 to the Flexible, High-performance Windows Embedded ET5000x.  In thin client computing, applications and data reside on a central server, and are accessed by users via CLI thin client devices.

PartnerPLUS offers three levels of membership – Silver, Gold, and Platinum – each offering increasing levels of sales, marketing, and technical support.  Membership levels are determined by the reseller’s experience, revenue potential, and industry affiliations.  Key benefits of the program include:
