Softchoice Named McAfee's North American Corporate Reseller of the Year

TORONTO, Oct. 16, 2013 /CNW/ - Softchoice, a North American technology solutions and services company, is pleased to announce it has been named McAfee's North American Corporate Reseller of the Year. The award was given in recognition of Softchoice's assessment-led approach, and focus on working with clients to improve security and reduce overall costs by consolidating essential security applications.

"Many organizations take a piecemeal approach to data security, resulting in overspending or exposure to risk," said Steve McDonald, Softchoice's Senior Director of Business Development for Datacenter and Hybrid Cloud Solutions. "We think there are big opportunities to find cost savings and deliver better security overall with a holistic, consolidated approach."

Softchoice's consolidated approach has led to strong year-over-year growth, particularly in serving the needs of small and medium-sized organizations. McAfee identified alignment with their own strategy, and Softchoice's impressive result with clients, as the deciding factor in naming Softchoice Corporate Reseller of the Year.

"Softchoice has fully embraced the McAfee Security Connected story and leads with a message of vendor consolidation," said Fernando Quintero, Vice-President of the Americas Channel Operations at McAfee. "As a result, their cross-sell performance shows considerable growth in all business segments."
