Swedish Kammarkollegiet Selects Proact
For server and storage solutions to public sector
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on June 26, 2012 at 2:27 pmProact IT Group AB is again
included in the Swedish public authority Kammarkollegiet‘s general
agreement for delivery of server and storage solutions to the public sector.
The renewed general agreement applies for the coming 18 months, with a possible
extension of two and a half years. The new agreement comes into effect as of
August 1st 2012.
Proact has again been selected as one of the few suppliers
allowed to bid on public procurement for server and storage solutions. Proact
has been included in Kammarkollegiet’s general agreement since 2007 and has a
large number of public clients.
"We are of course very happy
about the renewed confidence from Kammarkollegiet. The public sector is very
important for us and during 2011 the sector represented over 20% of our revenue
on the Swedish market. We see a healthy growth within the segment as secure and
effective storage and backup solutions are becoming very important for public
organisations," says Lena Eskilsson, regional manager, Proact.
According to a recent survey conducted by Proact, nearly one out of four public
organisations say that the budgets for storage and backup will increase during
2012, and three out of four organisations state that budgets will remain on a
constant level.
"Increased data volumes are creating
completely new demands for the IT infrastructure and we are currently in
discussions with many actors concerning how the public sector can secure and
optimise the server and storage environment," says Eskilsson.
