Portland EUrope
"When Portland Europe was established in 1997 as the first on-line software distributor in the Benelux, one thing was paramount: everything must be based above all on quality and simplicity. These characteristics are still reflected in both our products and services, and also on our website. Even so, there have been some changes. For instance, we now make a conscious choice to provide only software that we consider has the best price-quality ratio for users and the best margins for our resellers. Products in this category are extremely popular with the organisations and end users that opt for our software. In fact, many of them are turning away permanently from the 'big brands'. We therefore believe that the time is ripe to encourage many more organisations to make this changeover. At the moment, companies are being extremely cautious when it comes to investing in new technology, while at the same time realising that by investing now they can gain a substantial lead over their competitors. This opportunity generates demand. Customers are looking for affordable, stable solutions that are easy to install, manage and use, both by systems and network managers and by end users.
In recent years, it is the solutions devised by the slightly smaller software producers that have been especially successful in meeting all these criteria. Portland Europe is therefore inviting its business partners to cooperate on an offensive to make these first class products top-of-mind among customers and resellers. This will benefit everyone. It will generate more sales and profits for the producers and resellers, and create more satisfaction and opportunities for the client. In other words, it's a win-win situation. Which is as it should be. After all, doing business is a team sport, which means that you also always share your success with others."
