Software delivery platform QBS has launched Orchestra as part of its cunning plan to grow new vendors in its European channel.
Orchestra will operate on the QBS Software Platform and is confident it will offer significant opportunities to its channel partners. Joshua Nicholls will run the business which has been working with five vendors who have received funding from US-based venture capital firm Insight.
Insight Partners has invested in more than 600 companies worldwide and has seen over 55 portfolio companies achieve an IPO. He added they had worked together to identify the best partnership opportunities from Insight Partner’s portfolio, and as a result selected five key launch vendor partners – Keeper Security, Automox, DNS Filter, Octopus Deploy and CoreView.
Dave Stevinson, CEO of QBS Technology Group, said the time was right for the QBS platform to launch a dedicated distribution business to complement its core channel marketplace operations.
“Our platform is at the heart of what we do, and I acknowledge that we have been and will continue to be a difficult company to categorise,” he said. “We have already made a series of investments and acquisitions in recent years, but now we have decided to start a new dedicated distribution business – a green-field start up – focusing on the hyper growth Insight Partners portfolio companies.”
