Azlan Signs Pan European Distribution Contract with Sector Six

Azlan, a European distributor of enterprise networking, server, storage and enterprise software, reportedly has signed a pan European distribution contract with Sector Six, a software solutions provider of Cisco (News - Alert) based IP communications software.

 

SectorSix enables service providers and enterprises of all sizes to optimize their investment made in IP communications via a suite of software solutions that integrate seamlessly with the Cisco Call Manager and Unified Communications (News - Alert) Manager platforms.  

 

Azlan officials said that under this exclusive European channel agreement, the company will make the complete suite of SectorSix products available to Cisco VARs across Europe.

 

“Azlan has proved itself a leader in developing unified communications expertise into the channel. This partnership will enable SectorSix to extend our solution offering to Azlan’s broad base of specialist VARs throughout Europe and help a wide range of businesses get the most out of their Cisco UC installation,” said Dave Smith, CMO at SectorSix, in a statement.

 

Sean Kendrick, marketing director at Azlan Europe, said that technologies such as unified communication offer businesses with real cost and flexibility advantages and growth in this area remains intact, as businesses work to improve their productivity today and get ready for the turnaround as the economy picks up again.  

 

“As such, broadening our vendor portfolio to include leading UC application solutions, such as those offered by SectorSix, provides our resellers with additional opportunities,” said Kendrick.

 

Kendrick expects the adoption of Unified Communications and application solutions to remain positive as VARs continue to help customers employ technology as a means of improving productivity and driving down costs.

 

SectorSix officials said that the company’s Sixserver offers Cisco Unified Call Manager customers the ability to expand the operational feature set of their existing solution and is available exclusively through the Azlan channel in Europe. Sixserver introduces key functionality such as call recording capability, voicemail and virtual conferencing.

Sixserver will be offered exclusively to the EMEA reseller market through the Azlan channel from July 2009.
