Available immediately on MicroWarehouse’s Cloud Services Portal, (cloud.mwh.ie) Rory Wilson, Managing Director of MicroWarehouse said of the new partnership:

“MicroWarehouse are delighted to offer SEP Cloud to our growing list of vendors on cloud.mwh.ie. The addition of Symantec CSP to our vendor portfolio serves to strengthen our commitment to help partners build managed solution offerings to their customer base. Cloud managed offerings such as SEP Cloud are enabling our partners to do more, using less resources, resulting in a higher quality service and a much-increased value for customers. In addition to this, the monthly billing option from Symantec continues to help build flexible cloud solutions, with customers only paying for services they want, as and when they need them. Security is clearly always a concern for customers and those threats are both increasing and persistent. Enterprise grade security solutions from world-class vendors like Symantec are crucial for helping ensure the security of customers both now and into the future. Security will be ever-changing as a result of both unknown malicious attackers, but also from resulting regulations changes such as GDPR. SEP Cloud is ideally positioned to help protect users on all fronts.”

Likewise, Symantec’s Toby McDuffie, Senior Director, Global Managed Service Provider Sales reported an equally positive response to the new partnership.

 ““Symantec and MicroWarehouse have worked closely over many years with a traditional distribution model. MicroWarehouse have been leading cloud aggregation and digital transformation in the Irish channel for the last two years. SEP Cloud through MicroWarehouse now provides an industry leading, enterprise class security solution for small and medium businesses. With in-house training facilities, technical support specialists, recurring monthly and annual billing capabilities and a custom built online provisioning portal, MicroWarehouse are a good fit for Symantec to partner with in order to deliver Cloud offerings now and into the future.”
