Trend Micro has announced that long-time Gold partner Softcat will be elevated to the Platinum tier of its partner programme, where it will be able to access a range of additional commercial and technical benefits. Softcat will be the first Trend Micro Platinum partner for the UK and Ireland.
Softcat has been one of Trend Micro’s largest partners for a number of years, helping organisations to mitigate cyber risk and build a secure foundation for growth via a range of innovative technology solutions and services. Over the last 14 months, the commitment from Softcat and growth has resulted in Platinum status. Softcat’s elevation to Platinum partner comes after a stellar 2020 in which it recorded triple-digit recorded revenue growth year-on-year as well as adding a large number of new logos.
Trend Micro UK Channel Director James Munroe said: “The company’s acceleration of cloud growth and commitment to Trend has been expectational and means we are delighted to make Softcat our first UK Platinum partner.”
Softcat Alliances and Marketing Director James Baker said “We are absolutely delighted to be named the first Trend Micro Platinum Partner for the UK and Ireland. It is a real testament to our long time partnership with the Trend Micro team and the strength of the relationship we have built with them. I am so proud of our team for achieving this status and look forward to all we can deliver together in 2021.”
Trend Micro and Softcat are committed to accelerating the relationship during 2021 and beyond with further joint initiatives, resource and investment that ultimately benefit our customers in making sure they are secure and safe in today’s ever-changing environment.
