Westcon-Comstor to offer SkyKick's cloud management solutions

Westcon-Comstor, the leading IT distributor with worldwide practices focused on security, UCC, networking, data centre, cloud, global deployment and services, has signed a distribution agreement with SkyKick, a global provider of cloud management software for IT solution providers.

The announcement marks yet another bold move by the distributor to be the foremost cloud distributor and partner to resellers across Southern Africa. The SkyKick offerings enable IT solution providers to build successful and profitable cloud businesses by ensuring that they can easily migrate, backup and manage customers to and in the cloud.

Initially, Westcon will distribute SkyKick's Migration Suites that make it fast, safe and easy for IT solution providers to move their customers to Office 365. SkyKick's Migration Suites enable IT consultants, system integrators, managed service providers, value-added resellers and other IT partners to automate an entire Office 365 migration project from initial sales to project completion.

"By automating the steps it takes to move businesses to Office 365, independent research has found that SkyKick helps partners launch and scale their cloud practices profitably, easily and efficiently," said Leane Hannigan, director Cloud Solutions at WestconGroup Southern Africa. "Offering SkyKick's solutions are an important way to help our clients close the gaps in their cloud journey."

SkyKick cloud migration offerings allow African solution providers to automate an entire Office 365 migration project for SMB (1-250 employees) and enterprise (250+ employees) customers.

The company's cloud management products enable IT partners to migrate, backup and centrally manage cloud data and services for popular cloud products such as Office 365 and Dropbox. By combining SkyKick's Cloud Backup, Manager and Migration products on one unified platform, IT providers now have a simple way to grow their cloud customer base and create more operational efficiency to manage businesses in the cloud.

"For the past 30 years, Westcon-Comstor has been at the bleeding edge of technology innovation," said SkyKick Vice President of International Eric Jewett. "We're excited to help support this next stage of innovation for them by making the move to the cloud as efficient and profitable as possible for their clients."

The SkyKick cloud management solutions are now available from Westcon-Comstor Southern Africa with immediate effect.
