Double coup for Softcat

IT
Softcat has achieved its most advanced Symantec accreditations yet. Symantec awarded Softcat the ‘Master Specialisation in Archiving & E-Discovery’, and ‘Master Specialisation in Data Protection’, in a double coup which not only proves the team’s extreme competence in these disciplines, but also grants them priority access to post-implementation technical support from Symantec.

Lance Williams, Softcat’s Symantec Business Manager, said, “We’ve achieved this accreditation due to the advanced technical capabilities of our authorised Symantec consultants (ASCs), who underwent a rigorous assessment process with Symantec to prove their expertise. Several of our existing and prospective customers regularly review their data protection and information management strategies, their backup and recovery processes, and the lifecycle management of their data. These new accreditations will assure them that we can give them the best possible Symantec solution with our expertise, completely safe in the knowledge that Symantec trust us as a “safe pair of hands” to operate with their full endorsement.”

He added, “Softcat’s relationship with Symantec has gone from strength to strength over the years, and with this Master certification in two of their core solution areas, it’s only going to get stronger. We’ve been consulting on Enterprise Vault, NetBackup and NetBackup appliances for several years, and these certifications prove to both existing and prospective customers that we have some of the best Symantec consultants in the country.”
