Westcon-Comstor has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with cybersecurity and compliance company Proofpoint, officially becoming the first technology distributor in Europe to deliver Proofpoint professional services.
The new initiative is designed to accelerate time-to-value for channel partners and unlock scalable, high-margin service opportunities.
By joining Proofpoint’s Certified Deployment Partner (CDP) programme, Westcon will provide channel partners with production-ready deployments of Proofpoint solutions through off-the-shelf packages based on industry best practices.
The initial rollout will focus specifically on Proofpoint’s market-leading email security solutions, allowing partners to implement tailored expert security for their customers, with plans to expand across the wider Proofpoint portfolio later this year.
Martin Flensburg, Vice President of Services Delivery and Go-To-Market, Europe at Westcon-Comstor, emphasised the value of this expansion, stating that professional services represent a “significant growth frontier for the channel” due to their scalable nature and the high margins they offer.
