XM Solutions joins IS Value Added Partner Programme

Based in Sandton, XM Solutions is an Internetworking products and security company that focuses on the SME market. The company, as part of the privately owned HAMAR Holdings group of companies, has focused primarily on the manufacturing industry. The overall spectrum of solutions that XM Solutions is able to deliver has resulted in a track record of success and customer loyalty in which we are extremely proud, says Takis Michalakis, the managing director of XM Solutions.

Rob Firer, the Channel Manager for programme, explains that the key benefits of becoming a partner are the ability to maintain complete client ownership of a client`s IT needs and earn an annuity income stream. Offering Internet Access will boost partners core business offerings and affords the client the ability to sell ISP connectivity services without having to set-up the costly infrastructure of an ISP.

The XM Solutions product flagship consists of the Unix based Askari Internet Firewall and the Internet Communications Server that have been developed by the company. These products are aimed at improving the collaboration and productivity within the managed and secure environment of the XM Solutions target market. XM Solutions attribute their success to date to customer focus, relationship management, flexibility, teamwork and an excellent pool of both expertise and resources.

It has been a natural progression for XM Solutions to add Internet access, hosting and other value added services to our product line, says Michalakis. Joining the IS Value Added Partner Programme strengthens the existing relationship between the organisations and cements the credible product offering of the company. Through this partnership XM Solutions hopes to broaden its marketing potential and to build success stories in new target markets.
