01732 759725 8 BULLETIN Distology expands as-a-service programme Distology has announced new additions to its ongoing as-a-service programme. The first is a finance-as-a-service offering that enables partners’ customers to spread the cost of their cybersecurity investments via affordable, fixed payments over a flexible period, eliminating the need for upfront lump-sum payments. Hayley Roberts, CEO of Distology, said: “It’s a privilege, in this tough economic climate, to offer customers a third option for securing the technology they need to protect themselves without worrying about what it means for their bottom line. Alternative finance options like this are crucial to protecting their future success.” The second is a bespoke PR-as-a-service programme. Distology has partnered with agencies that have a wealth of experience in channel and cybersecurity who can offer a cost‑effective monthly retainer, alongside the option for bespoke services based on a vendor and partner’s needs. These latest offerings come hot on the heels of Distology’s incubation service, in partnership with Colition, announced earlier this year. Together, the growing list of services allows Distology to go beyond just offering the latest cybersecurity solutions; now, it can provide a fully realised suite of additional support services for its vendors and partners. www.distology.com AWS official training partner TD SYNNEX has been authorised as an Amazon Web Services (AWS) official training partner.
