Emerdis has announced plans to venture into the Kenyan market by introducing IT Security, Connectivity and Data Storage solutions.
The company will be targeting the rapidly increasing number of “small- and medium-sized†businesses (SMB) that are looking for Security, Connectivity and Data Storage solutions that provide appropriate performance, capacity and scalability, future-proofing their businesses within the budget constraints that many organizations face.
“Emerdis is delivering a range of solutions that meet the overall performance needs and financial constraints of a wider range of businesses and industries. Kenya is the IT Hub of East Africa and the fastest growing in terms of technology adoption. The continued infrastructure investment and expansion to meet the forecasted economic growth makes Kenya the right choice to launch Emerdis in Africa,†said Emerdis Director Mark Neville .
The company has selected Kenya as its point of entry into the East Africa region due to its regional hub status which makes it possible to reach out to other East African countries. Emerdis expects to recruit commercial and technical consultancy staff in 2015 to support its business activities and partners within the East Africa region.
Emerdis is also building a select partner channel in Kenya to assist in developing, installing and supporting all the solutions it’s selling. The partners will be trained and certified to a high standard and their high level of expertise will be maintained by regular training refresher events in Kenya.
The company will be working in partnership with industry-leading vendors who research, design and manufacture solutions that are perfect for a market that is growing and leading the way in new technology adoption. The Emerdis portfolio includes security solutions from Genie CCTV and Milton Security, connectivity solutions from Mellanox Technologies and data storage solutions from Datacore, Dot Hill, Overland Storage.
Another area the company is expecting increased demand is the adoption of closed circuit TV (CCTV) on companies/individuals IP networks, allowing the use of high definition (HD) cameras to provide improved imaging over the old analog technology.
Emerdis aims to take advantage of the demand by introducing a comprehensive range of CCTV and Access Control products ranging from a simple single door entry keypad right through to the latest in high definition 1080p cameras and biometric access control solutions, face and fingerprint recognition as well as automatic number plate recognition (ANPR).
