Altiris appoints Irish distributor DataSolutions

Altiris, a pioneer of IT lifecycle management solutions, has today marked its expansion into Ireland with the appointment of DataSolutions as sole Irish distributer. Under the terms of the agreement, DataSolutions will offer its resellers the full range of Altiris' web-based client, mobile, server, security and IT asset management solutions.

With fourteen years experience of working with Irish resellers, DataSolutions will grow Altiris' customer market through channel development, as well as provide a high level of technical support and education to its resellers. A dedicated DataSolutions account manager will be responsible for the Altiris account ensuring that resellers are fully briefed on all Altiris products, from IT asset management, through to migration and patch management.

Michael O' Hara, managing director at DataSolutions, said: "With more companies re-assessing the costs of managing their desktops, systems management technology is becoming an increasingly important consideration for IT directors. Altiris' impressive portfolio of systems management products places DataSolutions in an ideal position to offer channel partners a huge product and service revenue opportunity."

"We are delighted to welcome DataSolutions on board as our sole distributor in Ireland. DataSolutions has a thorough understanding of managed applications technology and we are confident that they are the best distribution partner for Altiris in Ireland. We are looking forward to building a long and mutually beneficial relationship," said Tim Pollard, Area director EMEA Northern Region at Altiris.
