SpikeSource to appoint India channel

SpikeSource India is gearing up to appoint channel partners in India and
expand its global footprint. Currently working with about 40 partners worldwide,
SpikeSource delivers open-source applications to end customers through its
network of solution providers. Speaking about the company's plans for India,
Ramesh Shastri, MD, SpikeSource, India said, “India is a very important market
for us. Given the huge SMB potential here, SpikeSource is working with the open
source community and software vendors on new applications, which bring
enterprise-class functionality at a much lower level of complexity and cost.
These solutions would be taken to the customers through the channel.”

The company would soon begin recruiting partners in the metro cities, and
over a period of time venture into the other towns as well. According to Shastri,
while they have not decided on the number of partners, talks have begun on
potential sign-ups, and over the next three to six months, SpikeSource would put
in place a clear channel strategy for India.
