South London-based software dealer, Highlander Software, has signed a deal to become a Master Reseller for Wise Solutions, a US software developer. Wise specialises in software for distributing Windows applications, one of its utility applications, Wise Installation System, includes a wizard to guide users through Windows installation procedures. Andy Gardiner, Highlander managing director, said: "Everyone at Highlander is delighted with the announcement of our association with Wise Solutions." Gardiner went on to say that the Wise product range fitted into what he called "the Highlander mentality of focusing on best of breed products". Other manufacturers' products within the Highlander portfolio include AccuSoft, NuMega Labs, and Sequiter Software. Wise is hoping the deal will help it boost its presence in the European software market, which it has identified as a rapidly growing area. Wise CEO, Bill Thomas, said: "The European application development community is one of our fastest-growing customer groups. Wise has an aggressive new product development plan with several new products scheduled for release in October." ®
