Axiz, the broad-based computer equipment, software and component distributor, has announced that it has been appointed as a Symantec distribution partner in SA.
The company will distribute and support the entire range of Symantec Internet security solutions and products, and will focus on servicing its OEM markets as well as resellers and dealers addressing small to medium-sized enterprises (SME).
"The SME sector is where we have developed our distribution strengths and we are pleased to be working with Symantec as our sole security solutions partner, and to add this industry-leading company to the growing number of world-class companies we now represent," says Anthony Fitzhenry, CEO, Axiz.
"Internet security has to be a vital component of our offering. Just as you would not sell a computer without an operating system, the time has come when you cannot sell a computer without proper security," he adds.
Axiz currently distributes a wide range of products from servers, PCs, workstations, notebooks and peripherals to components, operating systems, networking and storage. Other ranges currently represented by Axiz include HP, 3Com, Microsoft, Intel, Kingston and LG.
The company has already trained a sales and support team focused on Symantec solutions and implemented a help desk to address both reseller and end-user needs. As it has done with other product ranges it represents, Axiz will implement in-house product training for its resellers.
