Westcon Group Enhances Program Web Sites

Westcon Group Inc. announced its multinational solutions program Web sites have been enhanced to include features such as social media support, single sign-on to program tools and enhanced eCommerce access.

Westcons programs, which include OneDefense, OneVoice, OneNetwork, ConvergencePoint and SecurityPoint, boast several thousand active registrants and experience more than 7,000 page views per day. The first programs were launched in late 2005, and have since served as a key touch point for Westcon Groups community of technologically-focused reseller customers.

One of the enhancements is single sign-on. This feature enables customers to navigate through any of Westcon Groups programs once signed on within any one program. Also, the new program infrastructure makes it easier to find and purchase solutions, while integrating social media capabilities that support blogging, message boards, wikis and other collaborative tools, said the company.

Since the launch of our programs, we have made it substantially easier for resellers to do business with us as an organization while providing them with all the tools they need to succeed, said Duncan Potter, chief marketing officer of Westcon Group. The adoption and continued evolution of our tools and program infrastructure tell us that our approach is resonating with customers and vendors and most importantly, helping them identify and seize new opportunities.
