Marshal8e6 celebrates channel roadshow

It was the first event of its kind for the company, educating partners on its solutions. It has 425 channel partners in Australia and New Zealand.

The company plans to hold more events in the two regions for channel partners every quarter.

Serdar Yelutas, national channel manager Marshal8e6 said the events will act as a platform for resellers and distributors to get the information they need for sales, technical support and marketing campaigns.

"We are providing our channel partners with the knowledge they need to offer complete protection for their customers," he said.

"Following Marshal's merger with 8e6 Technologies and our recent acquisition of Avinti, we believe it's most important to keep our channel partners up to date with corporate news and additions to our solution portfolio."

The roadshow is part of Marshal8e6's Partner Focus program, providing partners with the resources they need to sell the company's spectrum of email security, Web security and end point solutions.

The last event, completed last month - saw 96 channel partners from Australia and New Zealand attend.

"There are new threats emerging daily, many of which are becoming increasingly sophisticated," added Yelutas.

Marshal8e6 channel partner David Abouhaidar, director of sales, KLIKON Solutions said as an IT consultancy, service delivery and product procurement organisation, its challenge is to develop expertise across all of its partners and their solutions.

He said the free training, marketing and technical support it received from Marshal8e6 helps them to develop its expertise to deliver effective security solutions.

The MailMarshal email security solution has a long history in the Australian and New Zealand market.

Michael Keogh, managing director, Rosh-Tech IT, who has been a Marshal8e6 channel partner for five years.

"Businesses work with us to gain cost effectiveness, competitive advantage and improved business operations from their technology, but they also want excellent service," he said.

"We became a Marshal8e6 channel partner because of the support we receive, which enables us to better serve our customers and ultimately, encourage repeat business."
