Johannesburg, 07 Apr 2004
Condyn today announced that it has been appointed the distributor for products from Proofpoint Inc, the leader in large-enterprise comprehensive message protection solutions, in the Africa region.
Condyn, one of the leading security distributors in SA, has been a specialist in the fields of information security infrastructure and middleware since 1995. Condyn has positioned itself in the market to distribute selective information-security products to carefully selected resellers.
"According to Gartner, clients routinely report that 60% to 75% of incoming mail is spam. This has a negative influence on productivity and serves as a conduit for malicious code and fraud," says Jorina van Rensburg, CEO of Condyn.
"We are therefore proud to be appointed as the Africa distributor for Proofpoint to also address these issues in the Africa market with a world-leading product, which requires little human intervention. The management system`s superior design allows for easy and flexible configuration to meet every company`s requirements. As the sole distributor for Proofpoint in the Africa region, we have been working closely with Proofpoint during the past few months to arrive at a business model, which we think will be conducive to attracting resellers. We believe that Proofpoint`s product range enhances the offering we provide to our clients."
"Proofpoint`s technology has been thoroughly tested and has proven to be superior over any competitive products globally, thereby providing what we believe is the most comprehensive spam and threat-protection system available in the world today," says Andr'e Grove, Condyn`s Product Director.
Condyn`s business model for Proofpoint is one of pure distribution. Proofpoint`s products will be available through carefully selected resellers.
"Condyn will play an important role in Proofpoint`s strategy for expansion into Europe, the Middle East and Africa," said Stuart Winter, director of EMEA operations for Proofpoint. "Condyn will be our representative in the Africa region, which means they will be empowered to appoint resellers and leverage the Proofpoint brand in the territory. We are extremely confident that Condyn`s exceptional reputation in the Africa market will prove to be an invaluable asset to Proofpoint and its message-protection solutions."
