Westcon’s OneVoice and OneDefense Programs Launched in Brazil

Sao Paolo, Brazil, June 17, - Westcon Group, Inc., the leading specialty distributor in networking, convergence, security and mobility, announced the launch of its OneDefense and OneVoice programs in Brazil. The programs, which are already successful in North America, Europe, Australia, the Middle East and other regions, are designed to help Cisco–oriented resellers increase their profitability in the security and convergence markets.

OneVoice and OneDefense combine best-in class products and services with up to date product information, market intelligence and sales tools designed to drive opportunity in the channel. The programs also help Westcon customers navigate each stage of the six-step selling cycle, from preparation to implementation. This a process which every reseller experiences when selling to an end-user.

"OneVoice and OneDefense are fundamental to our approach in helping customers penetrate opportunities in advanced technologies. With OneDefense and OneVoice, resellers are more informed, competitively differentiated and armed with precisely the right product mix to go to market," said Helio Guimaraes, marketing manager for Latin America from Westcon. ”Our programs leverage a powerful common global infrastructure and are customized at the local level to meet the specific needs of the Brasilian reseller.”

“We are excited to see the OneDefense and OneVoice programs launch and look forward to the continued growth of our business with Westcon. These programs are a significant catalyst for resellers to grow their businesses in Brazil,” said Cisco senior business manager for Latin America channels, Juan Pablo Estevez.

”In Brazil, OneDefense and OneVoice are the first programs of their kind, brought to us by an industry leader: Westcon,” commented Renato Carneiro, head of Brazil based systems integrator 2S Technological Innovatios. “We appreciate having access to market intelligence from Current Analysis, as well as having the latest information on Westcon’s promotions and training opportunities. This kind of information helps us take our business a step further.”
