Jouy-en-Josas, September 10, 2010 – Active Circle, an independent software vendor specialized in Storage and Archiving Solutions for large volumes of digital content, launches its International Partner Program in order to accelerate international expansion.

 

Active Circle is looking for Broadcast System Integrators that are recognized in their market and have a strong experience of storage and archiving projects in order to address new customer opportunities. This announcement follows the successful deployment of Active Circle in a partner network concentrated in France and Belgium. Active Circle is first focusing on the EMEA region and is recruiting one partner per country.

 

“We offer a competitive solution and an attractive partner program. Our solution is different from traditional Archiving Solutions as it is software-only, compatible with standard IT hardware, very open and scalable. We are able to deploy larger and more scalable Storage and Archiving environments for a smaller investment,” states Philippe Boyon, Director of Business Development and Marketing.

 

In order to guarantee the success of this partner deployment, Active Circle provides free technical training, all the needed marketing collaterals and sales tools, marketing support, and an active sales and presales team to support partners. “In addition, we have decided to work with only one partner per country, which allows the partner to differentiate from other system integrators and avoids unnecessary channel competition”.

 

This new Partner Program will allow Active Circle to accelerate the deployment of its solutions in EMEA and Asia. “This is a good year for Archiving Solutions. There are lots of broadcasters and post-producers who are struggling with the storage and management of large collections of assets. They are contacting us and asking for assistance on their projects, we need to respond to this demand. Our International Partner Program will allow us to pursue these opportunities,” concludes Philippe Boyon”.
