(Alliance News) - Avast PLC on Wednesday said it has partnered with a UK IT services firm to distribute the cybersecurity firm's on-premise antivirus software.
The deal with Reading-based Westcoast Ltd, which was penned in January, is Avast's largest regional contract, the company noted. Westcoast is a "leading distributor of IT products and services for the channel market".
Westcoast will distribute Avast's "full portfolio of on-premise professional antivirus software".
"Avast will operate a two-tier channel model and the deal with Westcoast will provide access to 9,000 trading partners across the UK. For Westcoast, the agreement represents a new opportunity for the distributor, which has no competing software offering and will reinforce Westcoast's ever-growing commitment to cybersecurity products and suppliers," Avast added.
Avast shares were down 0.2% at 497.00 pence each in London on Wednesday morning.
