Unix office software company Uniplex Ltd, based in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire, has launched a professional services division, combining existing services and support with consultancy as well as Unix and Uniplex training for resellers and end-users. The services are also available from accredited or registered training centres, endorsed by Uniplex. Resellers will get commission for selling Uniplex courses. With Nouveau, Uniplex’s revamped office automation software, set for a first quarter release next year, the company is preparing its resellers and customers for more complex computing environments, like client-server, according to John Humphries, professional services division manager. He also admitted that resellers did not know enough about Uniplex products. David Carew-Jones, Uniplex’s Northern Europe marketing manager, estimated the division will create UKP1m of business next year out of a total business worth UKP27m. Uniplex also announced an accredited programme for resellers that have reached a certain standard of knowledge and support.
