Identikey partners with Byte Power in $1 million Asian deal

Identikey joins Brisbane-based Byte Power to expand its internet security distribution network into Asia and Asia Pacific

Brisbane, May 15, 2000: Identikey has partnered with Byte Power as preferred distributor in a $1 million Asian deal. Identikey joins Brisbane-based Byte Power to expand its internet security distribution network into China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.

Offering a complete and reliable range

“Identikey is Byte Power’s first internet security product for distribution. Joining with Identikey complements Byte Power’s range of IT&T products.

“We are in a position to offer our resellers a complete and reliable range of products, which we haven’t been able to take full advantage of in the past.

“The timing is excellent, given the rapid growth of e-commerce in Asia. Internet security is something companies need, but they haven’t been provided with the right tools to protect their businesses. Identikey will help fill this gap.”

Alvin Phua
Managing Director
Byte Power

“We chose Byte Power because of its extensive network throughout Asia and Asia Pacific,” said Mark Austin, Asia Pacific channels manager, Identikey. “This partnership is strategic for Identikey because it gives us a strong foothold in the Asian reseller market.”

Byte Power has established partnerships for the banking and finance, corporate and IT&T sectors in Asia.

“Byte Power has a thriving 12-year presence in Asia. It would have been a long and difficult task to penetrate that market without its knowledge and reputation. We now have direct access to multinational organisations,” said Mark Austin.

The time is right for Asia

Peter David, chief operating officer, Identikey said, “The timing is pivotal in regard to current economic growth in Asia. Now that world trade has opened to China, there is a strong incentive from Asian governments to embrace the Internet, particularly business-to-business e-commerce.

“Organisations are realising that the need for reliable internet security is vital if they want to stay in the competition.”

Alvin Phua, managing director, Byte Power said, “Asia knows it lags behind Western nations in regard to technology and commerce. But with the rapid growth of the Internet, Asia feels there is a chance to catch up and be part of the global e-commerce success. To be in the running, organisations need the right product to securely protect their internet business. Identikey will offer companies the security they need.”
