Leveraging the Advantages of the Reseller Model

The reseller model is not common for marketing and selling modern core systems suites but presents certain advantages, particularly in regional markets where a strong incumbent vendor such as Comtec has expert knowledge and access to the market, according to Glenn Lim, EVP, Marketing and Alliances at EIS Group. “Most solution providers overlook smaller markets due to the investment required to service and support them,” Lim elaborates. “By utilizing a reseller model, smaller markets can receive the same benefits from modern technology as larger markets from local providers they already know and trust.”
“Comtec can now move its clients from its AS400 applications to a new generation of insurance core and digital solutions,” Lim adds. “The strength and flexibility of our digital insurance platform allow partners like Comtec to easily adapt our solution to regional and national requirements.”
Comtec is fully owned by Malam-Team, a publically-traded (TASE) tier-one IT provider, with over 3,000 IT professionals and an average annual revenue of more than $500 million. Comtec owns a subsidiary company, KCS (Knowledge Control Systems), a provider of GRC solutions for various industries, including insurance.
