Symantec CEO Greg Clark said Thursday that the addition of Blue Coat Systems had created a combined company that is highly focused on maintaining a positive relationship with the channel.
On Symantec’s Q2 earnings call for its fiscal year 2017, Clark said he and COO Mike Fey both have strong reputations for “taking care of what is that large extended sales force we have around the world”—Tier 2 VARs and Tier 1 distributors, and “nothing is going to change there.”
“We feel good about our relevance to the VARs and resellers out in the world, whether it be in the small to medium-sized business, the midmarket or the enterprise,” Clark said.
