From having our headquarters on the 12th floor of a downtown Orlando high-rise, to undertaking a massive and complex migration, to team dealing with family and health issues, this spring and summer has really forced us to grow and quick. I'm sure you're dealing with the same and I want you to know that we're fully committed to growth this year and putting you into a better position to profit from cybersecurity. While the economic disruption will certainly be forcing some businesses into a hibernation or worse, my travel always reminds me what a blessing and a privilege it is to own a business. It comes with responsibility - to clients, to partners, to vendors, and to our team. We don't have the luxury of slowing things down and seeing how things look in a year or two - we are actively attacked 24/7/365 - we have no chance but to act, secure, and grow so we can continue to defend networks today and provide a security layer for the threats we'll encounter tomorrow. Over the past two years we have focused on development and modernizing of all ExchangeDefender services. In the spring, when Covid-19 started, everyone got a free Wrkoo portal, which we are committing to keeping free because we need our partners and clients to communicate through this interruption. We've also released a brand new **[LiveArchive](https://exchangedefender.com/live-archive)** product that will usher a new era of security and redundancy services for Gmail and Microsoft 365. We've upgraded everyone to the latest Microsoft 365 SKU, which not only introduced new features but reduced support load by 90%!!! We've hired more developers and have an aggressive feature roadmap taking us through the end of 2021. While we have raised our rates over the years, many of our partners have benefited from us not auditing invoices, not expiring some of the promotional services, not reclassifying passthrough billing (which is prohibited), not enforcing the $100 monthly minimum for monthly payments, etc. We hope this advantage has allowed you to grow and profit, and you'll be happy to hear that the new SKU's scheduled for 2020/2021 are still significantly lower than the market average. Later this fall (November 1st), we will be expiring old/defunct SKUs. To find current pricing, please **[download the Partner Guide](http://support.ownwebnow.com/partnerGuide.php)** from our portal. Personally, I understand that price increases suck. There is no such thing as a good time to raise prices. Yet people do it all the time, and when we look at our roadmap and what our clients are demanding: they are asking for more security, not cheap security. When we look at our top performing partners, they aren't selling Essentials and freeware, they sell the best. While I know that the decision to standardize our pricing and enforce the rules will cost us some business, our focus is on putting out the best product and service. Many of you that have followed or worked with me over the years know that my personal hero is Ayrton Senna, and that I frequently talk about his mastery of a wet race track. How did he get that good? Truth is, Senna bombed his first go cart wet race. Determined to get better, he put his wet gear in a bag and got on the track just as the rain started. Partners, clients, friends - in the tech business you don't get ahead with cheap and aging technology - the security demands are only going to get greater and we want to make sure that we can keep you safely in business for years to come. We're up for that challenge, and we hope you like all the enhancements we'll continue bringing to our service.
