Attachmate appoints CMS as UK distributor

CMS adds Novell and SUSE brands to portfolio via agreement

Attachmate has appointed CMS Distribution as a UK and Ireland distributor in a bid to give its resellers more choice.

The appointment comes four months after Attachmate, which owns the Novell, NetIQ and SUSE brands, was snapped up by Brit tech firm Micro Focus.

Andy Bass, group sales and marketing director at CMS Distribution, said: "We are delighted to be able to boost our offering to our customers with market-leading products from a company with Attachmate’s heritage.

"Mobility continues to present challenges for businesses but by offering Attachmate and Novell solutions under one roof, CMS is perfectly positioned to help businesses overcome those challenges and enable secure mobility for our customers. We are looking forward to speaking to new and existing customers about how Attachmate solutions can help them meet their business goals.”

Barry Davis, sales director UK and Ireland at Attachmate, said: "Attachmate has remained focused on delivering technology that enables organisations to stay ahead of market demands without compromising on data security.

"Attachmate solutions complement CMS' existing portfolio, enabling customers to extend, manage, and secure their essential business information."
