Bradford Networks Earns High Marks for Customer Loyalty in Analyst Firm Study


CONCORD, New Hampshire, September 14 /PRNewswire/ --

- 78 Percent of Customers Would Look To Bradford for Future NAC 
Investments

Bradford Networks, a leading provider of comprehensive network access 
control (NAC) solutions, was recognized last month by Current Analysis for 
its strong track record for meeting market demands and satisfying customers 
for NAC functionality.

In its annual NAC study of technical, business and operational issues
influencing enterprise adoption of NAC, Current Analysis found that 78
percent of Bradford customers would consider Bradford again for future NAC
investments. Bradford's Vendor Retention Score was just three percentage
points behind the top score in the study and a full 10 percentage points
ahead of Cisco.

"One of the key metrics that Current Analysis captures in its NAC
Enterprise Demand Survey is the ability of vendors to retain customers. The
vendor retention score is the percentage of respondents who are NAC customers
of the vendor and would consider the same vendor for future NAC investments,"
said Andrew Braunberg, Research Director, Enterprise Security & Software,
Current Analysis. "Bradford's retention score is impressive and suggests that
the company's tightly focused NAC strategy has earned it friends in the
market."

"Bradford's consistent ability to deliver advanced technologies that
address our NAC issues sets them apart," said James Shuart, Manager of
Student Computing Services, Hofstra University. "Hofstra first purchased
Campus Manager in 2004 to register all student-owned devices on the residence
network, then expanded the system in 2005 to add endpoint compliance for all
students campus-wide. In 2007 we expanded the Campus Manager system to manage
all wireless access and to include Hofstra University School of Law. Security
has been dramatically increased and the return on our investment immediate."

Bradford first delivered its first NAC product, Campus Manager, in 2002
and launched NAC Director for enterprises in January 2007. Bradford Networks
has been a leader in providing out-of-band NAC solutions that leverage
existing network infrastructure to secure network integrity while automating
the process of providing access anytime. Its technology is ideally suited for
use in education, health care, finance, government and other public and
private organizations.

"The Current Analysis study highlights one of the strengths of our
company -- a pragmatic understanding of the challenges faced by network
administrators. Our technology allows them to easily manage network access
across wired, wireless and VPN networks," said Mike Gadoury, Bradford
Networks founder and CEO. "Bradford's unique seven-point identity profile
allows tremendous flexibility to address access control issues today and well
into the future."
