Mindware extends product portfolio with Seagate

With a strong reputation and rich experience in the distribution of IT products in the region, Mindware's latest addition will extend the impressive product portfolio of the top distributor, which already includes global technology firms such as Citrix, Intel, ADIC, VERITAS, Business Object, Network Associates, IBM, Microsoft, Novell, and Network Appliance (NetApp).

Speaking on the key distribution agreement, Jacques Chammas, Managing Director, Mindware remarked:

"We are delighted to sign up as the chief distributor for Seagate in the Middle East and North Africa. Through this agreement, we have moved one step closer to having a comprehensive product portfolio that meets the complete IT needs of organizations in the region. Through our value-added practices and extensive reseller network, we will definitely bring Seagate closer to different markets within the Middle East and North Africa."

"Seagate operates a policy of distributor segmentation and we do not give all our products to every distributor we work with," explained Gulfem Cakmakci, senior channel sales manager for Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa at Seagate. "Mindware will start selling the personal and enterprise storage products before they begin stocking the retail-focused products. Now, we look forward to penetrating deeper into regional markets through being more accessible to personal and enterprise customers."

Partnering with leading technology firms such as Citrix, Intel, ADIC, VERITAS, Business Object, Network Associates, IBM, Microsoft, Novell, and Network Appliance (NetApp), Mindware had on display its entire portfolio of products at GITEX 2005. The company has already created strong relationships with resellers across the region, serving customers through a network of offices.
