Following the acquisition of Blue Coat by Symantec in 2016, Arrow has renewed its distribution contract with Symantec. Prior to the acquisition, Arrow had distributed the products and solutions of both companies in numerous countries. Arrow has now extended its collaboration with the company. This new contract covers Czech Republic, DACH, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Scandinavia and the Baltic States, Spain and the UK/Ireland.
“We are pleased that the relationship continues to grow,” says Dominique Loiselet, Vice President Channels EMEA, Symantec. "Key to the close cooperation with Arrow is the diversity of Arrow's value-added services including innovative training sessions as an authorised "ATC" training partner, proof-of-concept services and product testing capabilities, pre and post-sales services and know-how transfer.”
"Following the acquisition of Blue Coat, Symantec offers a unique and extensive portfolio of IT security solutions and services, providing comprehensive security for the infrastructure and data of companies, organisations and private users," says Nick Bannister, Senior Director and Head of Networking and Security, Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions EMEA. "We have been working with Symantec for 13 years and our dedicated Symantec product teams are best placed to pass on their knowledge and expertise around its solutions benefits to our customers in any matter relating to security.”
