Apani Networks Opens New European Operations Center in London
Brea, California (ots/PRNewswire)
- New Facility to Provide Technical Training and Pre/Post Sales Support for Customers in EMEA
Apani Networks, the market leader in third party VPN Clients and IT Security Compliance solutions providing protection for critical network data and securing the evolving edge of corporate networks, today announced a new European subsidiary, Apani Europe Ltd, based in London. The new European operations will be led by Christopher Hay, Apani's vice president of sales for EMEA, and will optimize sales opportunities, marketing and technical support for customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Hay is responsible for developing distribution channels throughout the EMEA territory for Apani's In-depth Network Security system aimed at securing corporate-critical data for customers in financial services and banking, healthcare, and corporate environments with significant privacy requirements. He will also provide training and support for Apani's existing European customers.
"With the erosion of traditional perimeter security, the increased use of the Internet as a vehicle for international commerce, and new privacy regulations taking hold in Europe, we believe that the EMEA territory holds enormous potential for Apani," said Shuichi Ishiguro, chairman and president, Apani Networks.
The World Information and Technology Services Alliance (WITSA) forecasts that IT spending in the EMEA region will climb from US$882 billion this year to more than US$1 trillion in 2007 -- and compounded growth rate of more than 7.5 percent with the fastest growth (more than 10 percent) occurring in Eastern Europe.
Hay will also expand the Apani Armour reseller program to EMEA channel partners. The Apani Armour program features extensive reseller training -- both online and onsite access to sales and technical resources -- and complete lead generation and marketing programs for security-oriented channel partners.
The Apani INS System is centralized security management system that provides network access control, the dynamic implementation of network security relationships and point to point encryption. Updates to security relationships are implemented automatically, providing IT the assurance that their policies are implemented together with the extensive reporting and audit capabilities required for IT compliance.
