Westcoast chosen as first UK distie for BitTitan

Partnership with automation vendor designed to strengthen Westcoast's position in the cloud

Westcoast has become the first distie to partner with automation vendor BitTitan in the UK, as it looks to strengthen its positon in the cloud.

Paul Harman Westcoast's solutions director said: "We select leading partners such as BitTitan so we can provide resellers with a first-class channel-dedicated, consultative cloud distribution service.

"We foresee the MigrationWiz tool to be an excellent product for the channel. It is simple to use and at a great price, enabling our reseller partners to retain much-deserved margins," he commented.

Under the partnership, Westcoast will be offering BitTitan's mailbox and data migration solutions, including MigrationWiz, DeploymentPro and UserActivation to its UK resellers.

BitTitan's automated, cloud-based offerings are designed to streamline the migration process to new messaging systems and platforms, making the onboarding process automated, faster and hence more profitable for resellers. Founded in 2007, the firm has offices in Seattle and Singapore.

Alex Tatham, who took over the role of managing director at Westcoast last January, commented on the partnership: "While increasing numbers of resellers are selling the advantages of Microsoft 365 and other cloud services, the bigger issue they face is how to manage the safe migration."
