Accops taps Mart Networks to expand secure workspace sales across Africa

Accops has named Nairobi-based Mart Networks as its authorised, non-exclusive distributor in East and West Africa to push secure digital workspace adoption. The deal gives enterprises, governments and channel partners local support for deploying Accops’ integrated access, identity and virtualization platform.

Why it matters: - Accops is using a regional distributor to speed adoption of secure digital workspace tools across Africa. - The move targets organisations dealing with hybrid work, third-party access and unmanaged devices. - Local pre-sales, technical support and partner enablement can make deployment easier for enterprises and governments.

What happened: - Accops Systems Private Limited appointed Mart Networks Group as its authorised, non-exclusive distributor across East and West Africa. - The partnership is meant to expand access to Accops’ digital workspace platform for enterprises, government institutions and channel partners across the region. - Mart Networks will recruit, enable and support a regional reseller ecosystem. - Mart Networks will also provide pre-sales expertise, technical support, proof-of-concept deployments, training and joint go-to-market work.

The details: - Accops’ platform combines Zero Trust Network Access, application and desktop virtualisation, identity and access management, multi-factor authentication, single sign-on, remote browser isolation and thin-client technologies. - The platform is built for on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments. - Accops says the system helps organisations deliver applications and desktops securely from anywhere while reducing dependence on multiple standalone products. - Mart Networks was founded in Nairobi in 1996. - Mart Networks serves partners in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Nigeria and Ghana. - Mart Networks’ portfolio includes cybersecurity, enterprise networking, cloud, data centre infrastructure, unified communications and digital transformation technologies. - Accops is headquartered in Pune, India, serves more than 1,000 organisations globally and is a Reliance Jio company. - Mart Networks’ portfolio also includes physical security and related technologies. - More information is available on Accops' website and Mart Networks' website. - Accops also shared an update on LinkedIn.

Between the lines: - The partnership gives Accops a local route into African markets where channel relationships and in-country support matter. - Mart Networks adds a broader cybersecurity and infrastructure portfolio, which may help position Accops as part of a wider enterprise stack rather than a standalone tool. - Accops leaders framed Africa as a strategic growth market and positioned the continent’s next phase of digital transformation around secure access built into the workplace.

What's next: - Mart Networks will begin building an African partner community around Accops. - The companies will pursue joint go-to-market efforts across the region. - Enterprises and public-sector buyers can expect more local availability of Accops-led secure workspace deployments through regional resellers.

The bottom line: - Accops is betting that African expansion will come faster through local distribution, technical support and an integrated security-first workspace platform.
