Abtech and Xythos Announce UK Partnership
IT Distributor Expanding into Enterprise Content Management Market
San Francisco, CA – June 25, 2007 – Xythos Software, a leading developer of basic document management software, today announced a partnership with Abtech Computer Services UK an IT integrator specializing in enterprise infrastructure solutions. Xythos has selected Abtech to develop a reseller channel that will respond to growing demand for its products and services in the UK. Abtech has a record of success delivering Linux, Unix and enterprise storage solutions to commercial and government customers throughout the UK.
The demand for cost effective document collaboration solutions able to address the needs of distributed enterprise organizations continues to expand around the globe. UK information security requirements closely mirror those driving demand for Xythos technology in the US and Xythos’ recent completion of US Department of Defense (DoD) 5015.2 records management certification positions it well to address a variety of European Union and UK security requirements such as, European Model Requirements for the Management of Electronic Documents (MoReq).
“Our customers need better ways to consolidate, protect and share their documents,” observed Nigel Wright, Sales Director at Abtech. “Email has been recognized as a potential element of risk associated with document sharing, so Xythos solutions could provide a welcome remedy to some of these issues,” he added. Several of Xythos’ multi-national clients have already deployed its technology in their UK offices and many others rely on Xythos to collaborate between the US and Europe, so expanding the use of its technology within the UK will not be entirely new. However, the company anticipates improved market presence by supporting local resellers in cooperation with Abtech.
“With more than three million licensed users of Xythos technology, Xythos has established the recognition necessary to successfully expand its distribution partnerships,” said Ed Miller, CEO of Xythos. “We look forward to helping Abtech meet the demand for basic document management solutions we see growing throughout UK industry,” he added. UK technology integrators, resellers and VARS interested marketing and selling Xythos software solutions are encouraged to contact sales@abtech-uk.com to learn more about this opportunity.
