Region’s leading value added distributor, StarLink has been appointed as the distributors for BlackBerry to expand its channel base in Middle East and Africa.
In a statement, company said, As the demand for security is shifting from the network of computers to the network of endpoints, these endpoints will represent the Enterprise of Things (EoT), which is a collection of devices, computers, sensors, trackers, equipment and other connected “things” within the enterprise. BlackBerry is well placed to address EoT with its BlackBerry Secure platform, which is a comprehensive suite of software and services that helps companies manage and secure their devices and connected things, as well as communications for all messaging and file types.
Nidal Othman, Managing Director, StarLink, says “BlackBerry’s secure and trusted enterprise software solutions and services are an invaluable addition to our distribution portfolio. It will strengthen our go-to-market strategy and enable us to deliver end-to-end secure communications and collaboration solutions that will help our channel partners grow their businesses.” He also added, “This year at Gitex 2018, we look forward to hosting BlackBerry alongside StarLink and facilitate our partners and customers with an opportunity to meet with the BlackBerry team and know more about their products and solutions.”
“We continue to invest in strategic partnerships with industry leaders, such as StarLink, that allow us to enhance our channel partner ecosystem,”
The distributor will extend the BlackBerry Enterprise Partner Program to its partners that is designed to help partners navigate the ever-changing mobile business environment through secure mobile business solutions for their people, processes and data.
