Selectec continues EMEA expansion strategy with Foldr distribution agreement

Select Technology Ltd (Selectec), an award-winning software developer and distributor, have announced that they will be distributing Foldr, a hybrid cloud application developed by Minnow IT, that allows unified access to files and folders whether on-premise or in the cloud. 

Selectec will be promoting the product throughout Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Foldr allows users to create, edit and share documents using different platforms including On-Premise storage, Microsoft Office, Google G Suite, Dropbox, Office Online and more, through one single interface. It’s possible, for example, to create a document on a tablet, edit it using a smartphone and share it from a PC.

The agreement, which was brokered by Paul Weston, Managing Director at Selectec, adds further value to Selectec’s established partner channel and also opens exciting new avenues with ICT service providers. In today’s evolving market, solutions such as Foldr allow channel partners to both enhance existing relationships and win new business.

Stephen Hart, Sales Director at Selectec, said: “Our companies initially worked together in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region and we are now looking forward to building on that relationship to the benefit of our channel partners in EMEA. We will be providing them with another innovative product to further strengthen our relationships and enhance our partners’ product portfolios.”

The way people work has evolved dramatically over the past few years especially with the high adoption rate of Cloud services and advent of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD). Foldr integrates multiple platforms into a single application which allows people in the same office or across multiple locations to work more efficiently.

Minnow IT said “We’re delighted to have partnered with Selectec to distribute Foldr in the EMEA region. Their commitment to customer service, their channel knowledge and their flexibility were deciding factors for us. We are confident that Selectec is the best partner to provide pre- and post-sales support for our reseller network.”
