Computerlinks Adds Globo's Go! Enterprise Cloud Platform to Mobile Offerings

Distributor of IT security, network performance and Internet technology, Computerlinks (News - Alert), today secured a deal with Globo, an Athens-based mobile and cloud services provider, allowing the distributor to expand its enterprise mobility offerings. Specifically, Computerlinks is now offering Globo's Go! Enterprise product suite in the U.K. and Ireland.

Computerlinks stated that the deal is meant to make it easier for its resellers to deliver mobile enterprise offerings to their customers as well as incorporate mobile application development into other services.

Go! Enterprise sports server, developer and client offerings, allowing companies to adapt business applications for deployment over a number of mobile device platforms. It provides end-to-end security and management of corporate data through a secure container, while providing centralized management and deployment of business apps, allowing for the implementation of a BYOD strategy. These tools can be deployed on premise, or via the cloud.

“Enabling mobile access to enterprise applications is a real concern for UK businesses and one that we know our partners are currently looking to address,” stated David Ellis, director of new technology and services at Computerlinks. “Having the ability to deliver mobility to businesses quickly and cost effectively, whilst embracing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend, is a key opportunity for the channel.”

This agreement comes at a crucial time for both parties as the Go! Enterprise offering adds new revenue opportunities for Computerlinks and its resellers at a time when mobile use has exploded in the enterprise. For Globo, meanwhile, this agreement represents an excellent opportunity to expand international business — which has been its primary focus since its initial public offering in 2007.

In November, Computerlinks announced that it has managed to stay highly profitable in the face of global economic turmoil, managing a 26 percent increase in revenue in the first nine months of the 2012 fiscal year compared to the same period in 2011.
