SecureData, a member of the JSE-listed ERP.com Group, today announced that it has been appointed by Websense as its sole distributor for Sub-Saharan Africa.
"We have been working with Websense since 2005 as one of their distributors in Africa," commented Dean Brazier, MD of SecureData. "This 'upgrade' of our status to sole distributor brings our relationship with Websense in line with many of our other partnerships. We look forward to an ongoing and successful relationship with them."
"We see Africa as an emerging growth market and decided that a sole distributor was more appropriate to satisfy our needs in this part of the world," added Brian Flasck of Websense. "SecureData has the appropriate reputation and skills to provide the basis for a mutually beneficial long-term relationship with us and thus we look forward to working with them over the coming months and years."
