Since it concluded a distributor and partner agreement with Citrix last April, DIS, as a provider of cloud-enabled workspace services, has been offering Citrix products through dealers. We will market the newly renovated Citrix subscription service (2) to customers all across Japan through dealers by making the best use of the technical skills and know-how we have obtained in the CSP (cloud solution provider) business through this new alliance.
At the same time, we are planning not only to offer information on, and technological assistance for, Citrix products and a series of solutions but also to deal with Citrix products on our subscription portal site, “iKAZUCHI,” thus enabling the smooth management and operation of the pay-as-you-go charging system. In addition to improving sales and education support and expanding the support system for Citrix solutions, we will endeavor to spread our services to even more partner companies and Japanese leading companiesーnot to mention to Small and Medium business(es). We will do this by making Citrix products suitable for Japanese business practices through our efforts to adapt them to our traditional business transaction infrastructure.
Hereafter, we will upgrade the provision of know-how, and will expand our menus to support engineers through such means as digital tools, content, and web seminars.
DIS will deliver Citrix products through approximately 19,000 dealers via a community-based sales network with 96 sales bases throughout Japan. DIS will support the digital transformation of companies while enhancing collaboration with partner companies throughout Japan.
