A distribution agreement has been signed with the Brazilian system integrator EAIPure, paving the way for a rapid market entry in Brazil.

"Our sales activities in South America are paramount to a new chapter in our history," says Konstantin Kruse, Director International Sales, innovaphone AG.

Having established a presence in all important European markets–with three foreign subsidiaries in France, Italy and Austria and meanwhile 360 iARs (innovaphone Authorized Resellers) in Europe–we intend to open up new international markets. Brazil is the largest market in South America and still has enormous growth potential, with extensive investments currently being made in IT. Our distribution partner EAI knows the industry better than almost any other company and is a great partner for our market entry".
