Mercury Named 2013 Best Channel Vendor by Business Solutions Magazine

DURANGO, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the fifth consecutive year, Mercury®, a leading provider of payment processing and revenue generation solutions, has been awarded best channel vendor honors by Business Solutions Magazine (BSM). This esteemed award, determined by BSM readers, recognizes Mercury for product reliability and service/support in the payment processing category and is featured as part of the magazine’s special report on channel vendors.

“Mercury is thrilled to be named the best channel vendor for payment systems, once again”

For a few weeks each year, BSM’s VAR subscribers are asked to participate in an annual survey to determine the best channel vendors. Participants rate vendor partners across seven categories, including adequate margins, channel friendly, channel program, product features, product innovation, product reliability, and service/support. The winners are chosen based on their scores in each area plus overall leadership and excellence. The goal is to provide resellers with a guide to who their peers think are best in class.
