Sigma Software Distribution, a Climb Company and subsidiary of Wayside Technology Group (NASDAQ: WSTG) today announced a renewed distribution partnership with Blancco Technology Group (LON: BLTG), the industry standard in data erasure and mobile device diagnostics. The partnership will see Sigma working closely with Blancco on channel-led sales across the UK and Ireland.

Sigma is excited to provide resellers with Blancco products and can now offer tools for the full data lifecycle - from data collection to data erasure. The Sigma team has extensive knowledge of Blancco’s portfolio thanks to more than 10 years experience of selling the products through the channel.

Sigma and Blancco can support resellers and their end users by focusing on erasing and reusing assets instead of physically destroying them. Blancco recently explored enterprise perspectives and behaviours around e-waste, sustainable practices and the environment. The findings of their study brought to light a consciousness around the e-waste issue, but a lack of ownership for it. A common concern among enterprises re-using hardware, is the risk of exposing sensitive data. However, Blancco’s data erasure solutions make this worry a thing of the past, allowing enterprises to reuse endpoints, saving them money and saving the planet.

Christina Walker, Global Director of Channel and Blancco, said “Sigma’s focus on providing their partners an end to end solution is exactly where Blancco complements and we are happy to be a part of their offering. We look forward to working with the Sigma teams in helping close any gaps in end of life data solutions.”

Jane Silk, VP of Distribution at Climb EMEA, said “Blancco offer industry leading data erasure tools and we’re excited that they’ve chosen to work with Sigma once again – welcome back! We will work hand-in-hand with the team at Blancco and our reseller partners to provide organisations the tools they need to safely and securely erase their data from devices.”
