Facilis Technology and Broadfield Distributing Announce Partnership
HUDSON, MA (October 18, 2023) – Facilis Technology, a leading global provider of cost-effective, high-performance shared storage solutions for collaborative media production networks, has announced a strategic partnership with Broadfield Distributing, Inc. to extend the distribution of their products across North America.
"We are thrilled to partner with Broadfield to expand and bolster our presence in the Americas. With a substantial dealer base serving the media industry currently benefiting from our storage solutions, we see Broadfield as the catalyst to elevate Facilis to new heights. Their wealth of storage knowledge and industry experience will be instrumental in extending our market reach and ensuring our successful market penetration," expressed Shane Rodbourn, Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Facilis.
Broadfield Distributing specializes in offering expert guidance for complex compute configurations, high-speed networks, and performance storage, delivering comprehensive workflow solutions tailored to the needs of their reseller channel and their customers.
"We are pleased to be working with Facilis Technology as a trusted partner and to add to our portfolio. The Facilis HUB Shared Storage platform is a powerful solution for media professionals, and we believe our dealers can bring incremental business opportunities,” stated Gary Bettan, President of Broadfield.
Broadfield and Facilis personnel will assist resellers in transitioning their ordering procedure from direct to distributor. This will not affect existing pricing for Facilis-direct resellers and will bring more sales and technical pre-sales resources to bear on every deal, as well as assistance in training and deployment. This will result in more reseller wins, better end-user satisfaction, and growth of the product line into new verticals.
“Broadfield has proven to be experts in the industry, with good people who care about their customers’ needs and strive to deliver the best solutions.”, commented Jim McKenna, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) and EVP of Sales at Facilis. “Everyone wins when best-of-breed products are supported by the industry’s finest salespeople and engineers. We couldn’t be happier to move forward with this partnership.”
