inX.co.za, Google and Grove Group recently cemented a deal that will dynamically broaden the scope of inX's new software-as-a-service deployment, and support impending infrastructure in the South African market. This new move puts inX.co.za in a great position as the first Google Message Suite reseller operating from the Johannesburg area as a Postini Gold Partner.
inX.co.za has developed a reputation as a market leader being a provider of superior computer and IT network solutions. Spearheaded eight years ago by industry specialist Andries Strauss, the company has emerged as a competitive force within the market. This has been achieved by providing a number of white-labelled integrated, premium hardware and software services to SMEs and enterprises.
Google and Grove Group saw tremendous potential in this partnership and, by combining the services and products of Google and Grove Group with inX.co.za, it allowed both companies to provide services that are better geared for the South African market, converse to an EMEA-based model. This will be achieved following a similar strategic plan; seeking business growth through combining product and service development with a forward-thinking business approach. The innovation of this partnership makes for an exciting prospect.
Google's and Grove Group's reputable global support systems and extensive international experience gained from work in Europe, Middle East and Africa will allow inX.co.za to seamlessly deploy the famed Postini-powered Google Mail Filtering, Security and Discovery solutions within the SA market.
The timing is nothing short of perfect, as the excitement for the Google suite in South Africa is growing rapidly. During a strategic visit to SA, Google embraced the Grove Group's innovative operations, awarding its EMEA headquarters in London with an exclusive European distribution deal.
“Our new distribution deal with Google offers us a huge opportunity to leverage the skills we have developed with Postini/Google, offering them to key partners. This in turn opens new markets throughout EMEA supporting local representatives. I believe the key to the South African market is leveraging longstanding relationships already in place with inX.co.za. This partnership does exactly that,” said Joss Ings-Chambers, Sales Director for Grove Group's EMEA division.
Furthermore, he states that this new deal will enhance inX.co.za's ability, with a 24x7x365 Global Network Operations Centre, to provide world-class support in the deployment of Search and Security services. This is a welcoming move as many companies in South Africa already distinguish Grove Group and INX as the leaders in supplying on-demand software services ranging from e-mail branding to network scanning.
By adding the robust Postini and Google security solutions to an already impressive suite of services, inX.co.za will be able to protect companies from every possible angle and still offer creative services such as Backup in a Box, ISP in a Box, and API integrated with e-mail branding, pen testing and much more, all following the industry accepted “in a box” white-labelled rollout.
Joss Ings-Chambers also points out inX.co.za, Google and Grove Group look forward to working together to provide superior customer services by further developing local and international expertise.
“As they say; watch this space.”
