Bridge Point Wins Top Crossbeam APAC Partner for Q2

Brisbane, Australia, 21 July, 2011 – Bridge Point Communications, a specialist network, compliance and information security company, today announced it was named Top APAC Partner for Q2 by Crossbeam Systems, Inc., the leading provider of next-generation security platforms for high-performance networks.

The award recognises Bridge Point’s strong sales, technical performance and expertise in delivering Crossbeam network security solutions.

Bridge Point has established itself as a leading IT services partner in the area of network security, and has built strong methodologies for offering Crossbeam products in the Australian market since 2008.

“We select partners who have the expertise and on-the-ground support required to meet the high levels of service excellence that our customers expect and can deliver a network security infrastructure that is always adaptable, high-performing and reliable," said Anthony Stitt, Sales Director ANZ, at Crossbeam Systems.

“Bridge Point is a valued partner with a proven track record who understands how to help customers consolidate and optimise their security infrastructure to achieve business goals. Bridge Point has invested in Crossbeam by developing the right skills and dedicated resources, and that investment is the foundation of its success in the Australian market."

Tim Smith, Director of Bridge Point Communications said, “Bridge Point is delighted to have been recognised for our commitment to delivering network security solutions to our customers, in conjunction with Crossbeam.

“The way businesses communicate and collaborate is changing. It is now mobile and highly integrated with video, Web 2.0, social media and instant messaging – a move which has increased the total global mobile data traffic to three times larger than the Internet was just over a decade ago. In addition to an increase in traffic, we are also seeing a trend towards data centre consolidation and for organisations to move to the private cloud. Network security is a critical factor in this.

“We thank Crossbeam for its support and look forward to continuing to partner with them to improve the sophisticated networks of enterprises, government agencies and service providers by architecting platforms that are more adaptable, high-performing, reliable and secure.”
