Anti virus company AVG Technologies has said that it will acquire North Carolina-based Walling Data, a security software distribution firm.
Initially, AVG said it will work to integrate Walling Data into the AVG US and global team, and establish AVG pre and after sales support within the Walling Data structure. Since 2001, Walling Data has distributed AVG's offerings across the United States, specializing in serving resellers, education, government and non-profit organizations. Founded in 1994, Walling Data has been providing unlimited, expert, US-based technical support services at no additional charge for its base of more than 100,000 reseller and end user customers.
JR Smith, CEO of AVG Technologies said the decision to purchase Walling Data was logical given the need to further the company's distribution channels in the US. |
