HANDD Business Solutions Celebrates Record Year and announces New Offices in Dubai and Singapore

April 20, 2011 - PRLog -- HANDD Business Solutions will be at InfoSec Europe 2011
Stand J81 at Earls Court, London, 19th – 21st April 2011.

READING, UK – (20 April, 2011) HANDD Business Solutions, the UK’s leading provider of Secure Managed File Transfer solutions, ended 2010 with a strong year, closing business with customers including Centrica, NHS Wales, London Borough of Enfield, Jaguar and Readers Digest.

HANDD Business Solutions achieved 50% growth in 2010, and by more than 200% over the last three years. HANDD has exceeded all financial targets for 2010, including revenue, profit and operating margins and growth has spanned across multiple industries, including banking/financial services, government and media.

Over the last year, HANDD has secured three more strategic vendor partnerships and the company now represents six of the leading MFT software providers.

“I am very pleased with our strong results and profitability in 2010 and with our continued robust revenue growth across all product and service lines,” said Anthony Hodges, Chief Executive Officer for HANDD Business Solutions. “Our priority in 2011 will be to continue providing customers with the best-in-class secure managed file transfer solutions to help them solve data transfer challenges, reduce security risk and meet complex compliance mandates seamlessly.”

The demand for managed and secure file transfer capabilities continues to evolve, and according to industry forecasts, the market is expected to double to more than $1billion by 2014. Having recently celebrated its 5th anniversary, HANDD Business Solutions continues to be well-positioned to outperform and capitalize on the expanding MFT market in 2011 and beyond.

   “We listen to our clients’ needs, and have acted to ensure that HANDD becomes the ideal ‘one stop shop’ from project conception through to completion for all new and upgrade projects, and maintenance services,” said Hodges.

The upturn in business has led to a doubling in size at the company’s Pangbourne headquarters, the expected addition of five new staff in 2011 and the announcement of plans to set up offices in Dubai and Singapore to service a growing client base in and around the Middle East and Asia.

“The increasing demand for Managed File Transfer solutions in and around the Middle East and Asia has encouraged us to set up offices in both regions,” comments Hodges. “We are excited that we have been able to develop strategic partnerships with reputable resellers to help us establish regional bases.  We want to be geographically well placed to service our overseas customers’ needs and expand our global business.”

HANDD Business Solutions will be setting up a reseller partner program and will be providing training to all channel partners who join its partner programme and will certify partners at a later stage.  Over the coming 12 months it is our aim to recruit two to three active partners covering the GCC and Asia geography. At a later stage we will obviously evaluate this country by country as business grows in the region.
