Trend Micro announced the appointment of AxizWorkgroup as its newest distributor within the South African region. The appointment comes on the back of the vendor's stated intention to grow its South African and African channel, further cultivate and develop its market share, as well as drive awareness of its product offerings throughout the continent. The Advanced Technology unit is officially launching its specialist security distribution practice on August 22, 2013 within AxizWorkgroup.

The business practice aims to provide resellers and members of the local channel access to all of the services they would expect from a value-added distributor, while also providing them with a range of leading global security specialist products.
