The UK will pilot a software and hardware bundle from CHS Electronics and Computer Associates in an agreement announced today. Computer Associates’ IT management software solutions will be parcelled with server, desktop and storage products distributed by CHS in Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. It will start in the UK in June, backed up by a CHS reseller marketing campaign. Peter Rigby, CHS group marketing director, said the scheme would later be expanded into Europe. Computer Associates said the agreement would boost its own product penetration, especially in European business markets. CHS will promote Computer Associates as the preferred supplier of enterprise management software to its resellers. Products include NetworkIT, InoculateIT, AimIT, ShipIT and ControlIT. ®
