    GlobalSign Awarded Best SSL Product Line Strategy by Frost & Sullivan

    PRWeb – Thu, Feb 23, 2012

    Frost & Sullivan applauds GlobalSign for its breadth of high-assurance, flexible, cost-effective SSL Certificate solutions.

    Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 23, 2012

    GlobalSign (http://www.globalsign.com), one of the longest established Certification Authorities (CA) and specialists in SSL Certificate security, today announced it has been awarded the 2011 North America Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Line Strategy in the SSL Certificate market. Innovative product range, market growth, and attention to customer needs all contributed to differentiating GlobalSign from other competing Certificate Authorities in the market.

    “GlobalSign leverages its 15 years of experience in the SSL Certificate market to make the lifecycle process of an SSL Certificate easier to manage,” said Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Richard Martinez. “GlobalSign’s ability to understand the need of hosting providers and enterprises of all sizes from small and medium size enterprises to large enterprises, has positioned it for significant success in today’s SSL Certificate market.”

    “We are extremely honored to be recognized by Frost & Sullivan,” said Steve Waite, Chief Executive Officer, GlobalSign. “We pride ourselves on our innovative, customer-focused approach to product development and are glad to see it hasn’t gone unnoticed in an ever-more competitive SSL market.”

    Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that demonstrates the most insight into the needs and product demands of its customers. The recipient company has optimized its product line by leveraging products with the various price, performance, and feature points required by one or more market segments.

    Breadth of Product Line

    GlobalSign’s range of SSL Certificates allows GlobalSign to cater to the entire SSL market, from the smallest organizations to large Enterprises and hosting companies.

    GlobalSign has recently expanded their service offering to include such innovations as OneClickSSL, which fully automates the SSL provisioning process, CloudSSL, which allows organizations to use a Certificate across virtualized environments without the restriction of having to purchase additional licenses, and Managed SSL v2, which offers a user-friendly, highly scalable means of managing multiple SSL Certificates.

    Impact on Customer Value

    The needs of the customers are always at the forefront during the GlobalSign product development process and existing services are frequently updated to ensure maximum security, flexibility, and ease of use. Features such as unlimited server licenses, inclusion of both `www’ and `non-www’ on the same Certificate and the option to include up to forty different sub domains on multi-domain Certificates ensure customers get the most value from each purchase.

    GlobalSign’s new SSL automation technology, OneClickSSL, takes customer value to the next level, making SSL provisioning a value-add service for hosting companies. Eliminating customer errors and support overheads increases SSL profit margins and allows the organization to focus on their core business.

    Market Growth

    Thanks to innovative products and adaption to customer needs, GlobalSign is currently ranked fifth in number of SSL Certificates issued and sixth in SSL Certificate sales worldwide, reflecting a significant 35% growth from 2010 to 2011. With efforts now more focused on large enterprises, GlobalSign has gained significant traction among Fortune 1000 and Fortune 500 customers and this trend is set to continue going forward throughout 2012.
