Distribution agreement covers Identity & Access Management solutions across the Middle East & Africa

FVC, a leading Value Added Distributor (VAD) in the Middle East & Africa (MEA), has signed a distribution agreement with Propentus to deliver Identity and Access Management (IAM) life cycle solutions to its partners throughout the Middle East and Africa. Propentus IAM is the market leader in Finland where it is also headquartered. The company helps enterprises manage their employee identities and access rights with the only end-to-end solution in the market to provide cyber secure IT.
K. S. Parag, Managing Director at FVC, said, “This expansion is in line with the goals of our new IT Infrastructure and Security division and our commitment to bring cutting edge technology to our partners. As the dynamics for enterprise networking changes with the times, it is important for us to partner with vendors like Propentus that understand these changes and the security needs that arise from them.”
Propentus has ambitious expansion plans into new markets and eyes Middle East as a key region because of the security needs, cloud adoption, Internet of Things and the digitalization happening at a fast rate, demanding highly secure reliable solutions.
Propentus Managing Director, Tomi Hautala, said, “We believe Propentus IAM will be in a unique position to solve customers’ pain of managing identities for new hires and leavers effectively, accesses to IT systems based on HR data, and managing the total life cycle. Because of a high turnover and growth, these are key processes for any large and medium size corporation in Middle East. IT risk management, license costs and security audits create demand for a strong IAM that Propentus can offer together with FVC.”
Propentus estimates market size for this segment to stand at around US$ 30million by 2016. The company hopes to grow exponentially year on year, together with FVC and their proven channel partners, specializing in IT security solutions.
