Expand Networks (www.expand.com), a leading provider of application acceleration solutions over the WAN, has today announced an expansion of its EMEA operations with the launch of a South African office.
The result of this expansion, which has been initiated due to the increasing demand for its Compass Platform, has resulted in an amicable termination with its current regional distributor. Through Expand Networks Inc`s local presence, it will work directly with existing South African partners to ensure continuity and continued growth.
"We fully understand and support this new strategic move that Expand has made," commented Ernie Boardman, MD of Expand Networks SA, the current regional distributor.
On the change of strategy in South Africa, Adam Davidson, VP of Sales for EMEA, added: "Earlier this year, we successfully launched the Expand Compass, the first multi-service platform that delivers multiple integrated technologies to enable enterprises to successfully deploy today`s critical business initiatives such as server consolidation, Web applications and server-based computing.
"This unique, complete approach to application acceleration that accommodates future growth has resonated extremely quickly with organisations. As a result, we have taken the aggressive and strategic decision to open a new regional South African office to organically develop the channel, manage the increasing enterprise demand and ensure Expand is the predominant application acceleration vendor in the region."
In summary, Davidson concluded: "With our new Compass Partner Programme and the investment in a local office, we believe our South African resellers will be in the best position to tap into the rapidly growing WAN/WAFS market and accelerate their businesses and profitability."
