Reston/Voesendorf, Feb 1st, 2004
Sales Agent, LLC - Reston, VA, (www.goSalesAgent.com) and LOGICO Smart Card Solutions AG - Vösendorf, Austria, (www.logico.com) closed an agreement designating Sales Agent to represent LOGICO’s product portfolio in North America. Both companies are confident that the partnership will have mutual benefit. LOGICO is truly interested in increasing its footprint in the American market while Sales Agent builds up its business in promoting software and hardware products into the Citrix ecosystem of resellers, customers and business alliance partners. LOGICO’s smart card based Secure User Authentication products are designed to meet the requirements of the emerging and fast growing security market. Sales Agent will sign resellers and system integrators in the United States and work to build end user demand generating new customer projects that will create additional leads to assist newly signed channel partners in their sales activities.
"We are very excited about selling LOGICO Smart Card Solutions here in the United States marketplace," said Marc Palombo, General Manager for Sales Agent, LLC. "Citrix resellers and customers in the U.S. are looking for a solid alternative to existing smart card technologies that focus on Citrix’s Metaframe Access Suite and their new Citrix Password Manager product line. LOGICO’s Thin Client Logon for Metaframe and their native Password Manager access provide such a solution."
"After having developed the European market in closing quite a number of projects in all relevant verticals, North America is the next strategic regional target market," Wolfgang P. Kalny, CEO of LOGICO Smart Card Solutions AG, is explaining LOGICO’s motivation of entering into this agreement. "It is extremely difficult to approach a remote market from Europe. With the assistance of Sales Agent as a technology sales outsourcing company, the likelihood of being successful is increased dramatically and costs stay in control."
