London, UK - GFI, a leading developer of network security, content security and messaging software, has expanded its network of resellers by appointing Computerlinks as distributor for the Middle East.

Computerlinks Middle East has one of the strongest security channels to date in the region and we look forward to adding GFI to the product stables of our company and in so doing give more value to our resellers."
GFI will support Computerlinks ME in all aspects that are necessary for them to become successful in promoting GFI products in the Middle East. Both organizations will implement a detailed strategic marketing and communication program to enhance and consolidate GFI's brand in the region. An intense training program is being adopted for all personnel at Computerlinks ME ensuring they are capable of handling all GFI related sales and support enquiries.
