Prism has signed a preferred partner agreement with Computech, which will see it represent Prism and VeriFone in Kenya and Tanzania.
In a statement, Prism says this reaffirms its commitment to the region. "We are pleased to announce a more substantial representation for Prism and VeriFone in East Africa. With Computech`s technical capabilities, strong regional presence and favourable customer relationships, we are confident that our partnership will result in positive business growth of all organisations," says Prism`s group sales director Llewellyn Walters.
Prism designs and develops integrated circuit card, transaction terminal, infrastructure and cryptography technologies that are applied to electronic-commerce transactions in the telecoms, banking, retail, petroleum and utilities market sectors.
Kenya-based Computech, an HP/Compaq dealer in East Africa with offices in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, focuses on the development and integration of end-to-end solutions.
Computech MD Hassan Popat says: "We have been challenging our teams to achieve leader status in various vertical markets and are thrilled to be representing Prism, and are well-placed to be a reseller of VeriFone products in the different verticals on behalf of Prism."
VeriFone is a key business partner for Prism. As the VeriFone International Partner for the Sub-Saharan and Indian Ocean Islands region, Prism is the only formal supplier of VeriFone point of sale devices and PINpads into these regional markets. Prism has included VeriFone devices and PINpads in its solutions since 1998.
"Our growth across the African region can only benefit from this new agreement with Computech," says Nigel Bidmead, EMEA MD of VeriFone.
