October 7, 2009 Westcon Group Inc. has created Comstor Worldwide: a global business focused on its Cisco solutions offerings, which account for greater than 50% of Westcon Group’s revenue. Comstor Worldwide, which builds on the multi-regional brand that Comstor has established over the last decade, will be led by longtime Comstor executives William Corbin and Jon Pritchard, and will have its own dedicated management structure and its own profit and loss centre. The new Comstor Worldwide management structure enables local Comstor operations to leverage shared services and operational capabilities. In conjunction with the new organization, Westcon Group also announced that Comstor will expand its geographic coverage to include Canada and Brazil—countries in which it already has a significant presence with Westcon Convergence and Westcon Security, its two other major business practices. Dean Douglas, president and CEO, Westcon Group, commented: “The creation of Comstor Worldwide is truly a milestone in our company and will enable us to better manage growth and investments in our Cisco-oriented business, in which we see tremendous untapped growth potential. Having our Cisco-oriented offerings aligned in a single, global business unit will amount to an unprecedented opportunity for our resellers around the globe.” In April 2008, Westcon Group signed a global distribution agreement with Cisco, allowing it to streamline global transactions for channel partners.
