Symantec organized an event last July for ACT's staff to introduce and give them training on Symantec's products and solutions. The event took place at Conrad Hotel, Cairo. The Symantec sales training marked the beginning of a partnership between both companies. Symantec's products include storage, business continuity and security solutions. ACT will use Symantec's products as the official security solutions in their systems and the packages they offer to their clients.

ACT, a leading system integration and software company, needs a well-known and trustworthy security system to provide customers with the best integrated solutions.

The goal of the event was to increase the sales and pre-sales knowledge of ACT's staff about Symantec's products, and start a new and potentially successful partnership between one of the biggest system integration companies in Egypt and the region and the leading provider of security solution in the world.

"ACT has always been keen to partner with companies that will help it provide its customers with integrated solutions and completes its portfolio. Therefore, ACT and Symantec are both looking forward to what they can gain out of this partnership," says Mohamed Abou El-Lail, ACT's Senior Marketing Manager.
