How an Ebook Established One Firm as a Thought Leader, Differentiated It from Its Competitors, and Generated 7,000 Downloads

Founded in 1991, Lumension®, Inc. (formerly PatchLink Corporation) develops, integrates and markets security software solutions for businesses worldwide. Following three strategic acquisitions, Lumension embarked on a campaign to rebrand itself, expand awareness of its security technology offerings, and establish itself as a thought leader. Recognizing an opportunity to differentiate itself from the competition, Lumension made an ebook the centerpiece of its campaign.

With that in mind, it set about to produce insightful content and syndicate it to influential bloggers, journalists, and prospects.
