ICOS, a leading distributor of cyber security and IT infrastructure solutions, has announced today that it has closed an agreement to extend to Italian channel partners the innovative solution offering of GFI Software.

GFI Software, renowned for its commitment to enterprise-quality software, has become synonymous with innovation and excellence in the IT industry. Specializing in comprehensive solutions across network management, security, and communication, GFI sets itself apart by consistently introducing products that address emerging market needs and technological trends.

The launch of GFI AppManager is a prime example of their forward-thinking approach. This groundbreaking platform simplifies IT operations management for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and end customers. With its single pane of glass interface, AppManager offers advanced monitoring and alerting capabilities, comprehensive reporting, and customizable alerts to ensure timely and informed decision-making. GFI AppManager is changing the game in how businesses oversee their IT operations – All Customers, All Products, One Single Screen.

This last year has also seen exciting developments in GFI’s MSP offerings. The introduction of GFI KerioControl for MSP, GFI KerioConnect for MSPs, and GFI LanGuard for MSP is revolutionizing how MSPs manage and bill their services. These solutions offer flexible billing models that adapt to the changing scale of MSPs' businesses. This means MSPs can enjoy a cost-effective approach to service delivery, paying only for what they use while still benefiting from the full capabilities of these powerful tools.

Plus, each product in the extensive GFI Software lineup now boasts its own CoPilot, harnessing the transformative power of GenAI. Whether it's GFI KerioConnect CoPilot, GFI Exinda CoPilot, or any other product in the lineup, customers can expect a leap in functionality, utility, and overall user experience. This integration of this technology across their product range is a strategic move, further establishing GFI Software at the forefront of software companies with GenAI-driven solutions.

Derek Nower, SVP of Global Channel Sales at GFI Software, shared his enthusiasm for the partnership: "Joining forces with ICOS is a key move to broaden our reach, especially in the Italian high mid-market and enterprise sectors. Our existing distributors have a strong foothold in the SMB sector, but ICOS brings the expertise we need to elevate our presence in larger-scale operations. It’s a great chance to push forward with standout solutions like GFI Exinda Network Orchestrator and the Multi Server feature in GFI KerioConnect. These are perfectly tailored to larger businesses, and we're eager to see the impact we can make in the Italian market with ICOS by our side."

ICOS Managing Director Federico Marini in turn expressed satisfaction with the agreement: "For ICOS it is important to support the efforts of the partners by proposing solutions that allow them to emerge and stand out in the complex mid-to-large enterprise market. GFI Software, with its GenAI-first strategy, is certainly a pioneer in the development of next-generation software solutions, ensuring that customers always have the most advanced tools available on the market. GFI Software’s cutting-edge technology will be supported by our channel development experience, strongly focused on services and tech expertise. In light of this, I am sure there are all the conditions for this partnership to lead us towards the most ambitious goals."

With a global customer base of over 40,000, GFI’s partnership with ICOS is sure to further increase both companies' reach within the Italian market. By combining GFI's technological expertise with ICOS's local insights, the collaboration is uniquely positioned to offer customized solutions that address specific challenges and opportunities in Italy, particularly within the high mid-market and enterprise sectors.
