Light Edge Technology has announced its official distributor agreement with one of the leading providers of networking solutions for the home, SME and enterprise, SMC Networks.
Concluded in February 2004, the deal enables Light Edge to distribute the full SMC range in southern Africa with immediate effect and entrenches Light Edge`s position as one of the foremost IT distributors in this region.
Ivan Blacher, sales director of Light Edge Technology, says: "The agreement between SMC and Light Edge gives us access to a comprehensive range of world-class, standards-based networking solutions that address any of the networking needs of our broad client base - from the SOHO to the small office to the large corporate. This relationship will ensure that Light Edge has access to the latest networking technologies which supports our commitment to providing our customers to the most up to date products and solutions available."
Light Edge has broad representation in SA through its national offices and extensive dealer network. This coupled with its increasing focus on providing solutions for the corporate market made it an ideal partner for SMC.
George Zervos, EMEA managing director for SMC Networks, says: "Light Edge has the right combination of stability, defined by its 10-year history in the South African market and growth, demonstrated by its opening of a second Emerald PC assembly plant in Johannesburg last year. The company has its sights on expansion into southern Africa and the creation a powerful national brand in its Emerald PC range. Both of these growth strategies support SMC`s objective of broadening its local base."
