Micro-P shows Ability

Distributor to offer its resellers ASI's Ability software on a memory stick

Software vendor Ability Software International (ASI) has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Micro Peripherals (Micro-P).

The distributor will offer the ASI Ability Office software on a 1GB USB memory stick to it reseller base.

Mark Kahr, director at Micro-P, said: “The USB version of ASI Ability Office targets the widest possible range of hardware. It is of course relevant to any PC or notebook system, but especially resolves the twin issues of how to load productivity software onto a netbook and how to do so affordably.

“By adopting the USB version of ASI Ability Office, our resellers can now fulfil their customers’ core software needs without in any way negating the crucial lower-priced value proposition inherent in netbooks.”

The ASI Ability Office USB is available in two formats – the USB device and Quick Start Guide with a single user licence for OEM usage only and again the USB device, but with two user licences.

David Hennell, group sales and development director at ASI, said: “As the market grows ever more competitive in today’s credit-constrained environment, end-users of all types, whether business or consumer, are looking for value.

“We are therefore delighted to have agreed this arrangement with Micro-P, given their pro-activity within all areas of the UK IT reseller space.”
