Ocean takes on Xerox print kit and services

East London reseller acquires full authorisation

Managed services provider and VAR Ocean Intelligent Communications has added office products and services from Xerox to its portfolio.

Jason Osmond (pictured), group sales director at 10-year-old east London company Ocean, said the partnership would boost its managed print services (MPS) proposition and overall offering, which includes consultancy, managed services, and infrastructure sales.

"We work exclusively with leading, tier-one suppliers and manufacturers," he said in a press statement.

Osmond said the signing should open up sufficient new opportunities to enable further expansion. As an authorised reseller and services provider, Ocean will offer all Xerox office products and supplies, as well as Xerox Partner Print Services.

Norman Richardson, director and general manager of the UK channels group at Xerox, indicated that the deal reflects the OEM's progress towards services, rather than hardware.
