SAN ANTONIO--GlobalSCAPE, Inc. (NYSE Amex: GSB) a leading developer of file transfer solutions, today announced an exclusive
partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corporation, a trusted
government IT solutions provider with headquarters in Reston,
Virginia. Under the terms of the agreement, Carahsoft will add
GlobalSCAPE’s solutions to its General Services Administration (GSA)
Schedule. Carahsoft also will provide proactive sales and marketing
support to drive demand for GlobalSCAPE’s solutions within the
federal, state, and local government markets.
With the Carahsoft partnership, government-wide customers can order
GlobalSCAPE solutions directly from the Carahsoft GSA Schedule or
through the GSA Advantage!® online shopping and ordering system. “We
are thrilled to partner with Carahsoft to meet government demand for
secure information exchange solutions,” said Jeff Gehring,
GlobalSCAPE Vice President of Sales. “Carahsoft is a leading
provider of IT solutions to the government sector and this
relationship allows us to provide this important customer base with
proven, industry-leading solutions they can easily deploy and
operate. It also allows us to build on our prior government sales
successes and solution developments.”
GlobalSCAPE received a $2.8M order from the US Army in May 2007 for
secure client and server-based managed file transfer solutions as
well as the associated maintenance and support. Since then,
GlobalSCAPE has closed additional government business and, in
November 2008, announced receipt of the Certificate of Networthiness
(CoN) from the US Army Network Technology Command (NETCOM).
“GlobalSCAPE clearly is a company on the move in the government IT
market,” said Craig P. Abod, Carahsoft president. “We are pleased
to add GlobalSCAPE to our GSA Schedule, providing government
agencies with rapid, straightforward access to these
mission-enabling solutions.”
When asked to comment on the partnership, Craig A. Robinson, COO
of GlobalSCAPE, stated “Having a strong relationship with a company
of Carahsoft’s stature and reputation in government IT will make
buying our solutions easier and faster for government customers no
matter the organization or its location. We recognize the critical
importance of long-term, pre-approved contract vehicles to these
government organizations and look forward to working with Carahsoft
to deliver business through their GSA Schedule.”
