transtec - Overland’s strongest partner in the EMEA region

Tübingen, 24 November 2004.
Overland Storage, one of the leading providers of backup solutions, has selected transtec AG for the second time running as Reseller of the Year for the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East and Africa).

Summarising the successful co-operation between Overland and transtec, Thomas Störr, Overland’s Regional Manager for Central Europe said, "The past year was a good one for the transtec-Overland co-operation. Thanks to transtec’s impressive sales record for Overland products this year, it has moved from being our strongest partner in Central Europe to our strongest in the entire EMEA region. Over the years it has become apparent that our channel partner programme meshes very well with transtec's sales model.”

The award honours the Overland dealer with the highest sales of Overland products in the EMEA region. transtec has marketed Overland products for eight years now. Just two years ago transtec was selected as an Overland Gold Partner. To qualify for this status a reseller must meet specified sales and turnover targets and must carry out regular quality controls and training programs.

“The symbiosis of outstanding Overland products and transtec’s competence in providing customers with advice on selecting and integrating reliable backup and recovery solutions in their existing IT infrastructures is the basis of transtec’s successful co-operation with Overland”, said Ertu Uysal, transtec’s Vice President for Product Management and Marketing. transtec sells the entire Overland product line, which encompasses a broad products ranging from autoloaders to scalable NEO series tape libraries, and now includes the new REO backup-to-disk solutions.
