Symantec has welcomed approximately 150 channel executives to its 2011 Asia South Region Partner Engage Conference at the Langham Palace Hotel in Hong Kong. The event featured keynotes from Symantec executives.
Themed "Power Your Business", the event offered partners the opportunity to hear about Symantec's strategy and vision, learn more about industry trends that partners can leverage, as well as build relationships, network and exchange ideas with Symantec executives and industry peers. Symantec executives also took the opportunity to celebrate the success of the Symantec Partner Programme and define how key industry trends such as virtualization, cloud computing and mobility can translate into new opportunities for the channel.
"The threat landscape is rapidly evolving with increasingly complex and highly-targeted attacks. In addition, organizations are grappling with growing data storage concerns. In the light of these, the key trends such as cloud computing, virtualization and mobility are transforming the industry and delivering profound impacts across large enterprises and SMBs alike," said Bernard Kwok, Senior Vice-President, Asia Pacific and Japan, Symantec.
Eric Hoh, Vice-President, Asia South Region, Symantec, said, "To be successful in this new environment, businesses need to take an information-centric approach. Cloud computing, virtualization and mobility are key trends driving the evolvement of how businesses address their security, storage and system management needs. At the same time, they also create great opportunities for our partners to increase revenue potential and relevance by assisting customers to meet these challenges without creating added complexity and risk. Through the enhanced Symantec Partner Programme, we enable our partners to develop the relevant skills and knowledge and help them expand their business in these key growth areas."
