Facilitating this market expansion, Centrify has signed a distribution contract with Multipoint, a value-added distributor specialized in networking and IT security.

Multipoint, with more than 100 partners, has committed significant local resources to the Centrify partnership, and the sales and technical resources have been trained by Centrify in preparation for this launch into the Israeli region.
"Centrify is experiencing rapid global expansion and our annual growth rate in Europe, the Middle East and Africa now exceeds 70 percent," said Olly Carter, EMEA Channel Manager, Centrify Corporation. "This trend is mirrored in Israel, an important market for Centrify, where the ability to centrally control, authorize and audit UNIX, Linux, Mac, iOS and Android systems, as well as simplifying access to databases and applications is driving customer demand. To accelerate this growth, we are very pleased to announce Multipoint as our new value-added distributor; they will recruit, manage and develop a network of value-added partners so we can better support our expanding Israeli customer base."
