Steps up the drive to strengthen its reseller network in Kuwait along with Juniper Networks

Kuwait City, Kuwait

To capitalise on the increasing demand for data networking and security products in the Middle East, Online Distribution, the value added networking distributor, will present the latest converged network enterprise and security solutions from Juniper Networks at a channel forum in Kuwait on June 18th, 2006.

Systems integrators, consultants and value added resellers will be able to assess the latest developments in the communications market. As part of its strategy to provide resellers with tools to aid sales, the event will be supported by a senior Juniper team, including Mohammed Shell, enterprise sales manager, Juniper North Gulf and a senior systems engineer.

"According to a recent report by the Butler Group, resellers are in a prime position to help firms gain more value from their IT investments. Businesses should invest in maintaining, upgrading and deriving the best value from their IT investments. Resellers can help them to identify what gives the business the best value from IT spend and how to use it to make their business more profitable as a result," said Sushma Kajaria, business unit manager, Security Business Unit, Online Distribution Ltd. "This demonstrates our commitment to driving business through the channel. We are committed to developing the channel in Kuwait, along with our vendor partners."

"OnLine Distribution believes in supporting our vendors with high-level premium channel partner selection, professional territory management, and ongoing training and evaluation services for channel partners and we look forward to driving the growth of networking technology in Kuwait," Kajaria added.
