OMC SYSTEMS becomes a Sophos Silver Channel Partner, expanding into anti-virus and anti-malware.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 29, 2008 -- OMC SYSTEMS LLC, a family-owned South Florida computer and security integration firm, has become a Sophos Silver Channel Partner. This expands OMC's operations into corporate anti-virus and anti-malware.

OMC Systems has been selling hardware and software to small businesses since it opened its doors in 2008, and with this recent partnership, they will be offering the wide array of Sophos products and services to their clients.

Sophos products provide comprehensive protection against unknown malware, viruses, spam and spyware and are used by millions of users worldwide. Sophos offers complete protection and control to business, education and government organizations – defending against known and unknown malware, spyware, intrusions, unwanted applications, spam, and policy abuse, and providing comprehensive network access control (NAC).

"Partnering with Sophos made real sense for us" says OMC's CEO John Christly, "they have a great product line and administering the suite is simple even for IT shops that are low on resources. Once the product is installed and running, there is not much that is required from an administration standpoint except to watch the activity via email alerts and ensure that the systems stay up to date. With its tight integration with Active Directory, new computers and servers that are added to the domain can be automatically installed with Sophos and almost any third party anti-virus product that is currently installed can be removed by the install process. We like the Sophos product line for its ease of use and its deep security features such as NAC. With the type of Internet and email-based threats that are being released these days as well as the threats that need to be protected from the inside, it is important to have a complete shield of protection. Sophos has this covered, from products that protect the email gateway, to the servers, all the way to the desktops. One of our larger law firm clients recently had us install the products on all of their servers and workstations, and everything went very smooth. The client was very happy with the pricing, the product, and the process that we as a company went through to get the products installed and replace what they had been using. We look forward to our partnership with Sophos as a strategic direction for our company".

OMC systems has partnered with several key vendors, including Dell, Cisco, KACE, Microsoft, Sunbelt, Sonicwall, and Watchguard, just to name a few. These key partnerships allow OMC SYSTEMS to get access to partner-level pricing, training, and other benefits that allow their customers to receive top notch support and product pricing. The company specializes in Dell servers and storage, as well as software from leading companies such as Sophos to round out a very professional integration offering.

OMC Systems is led by CEO John Christly. He is an Information Technology and Security Professional with over 18 years of experience. His industry certifications include the following: Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE), Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Professional in Comprehensive Security (CPCS), Project Management Professional (PMP), Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP), CompTIA SECURITY+ Professional, Certified HIPAA Professional (CHP), Administrator (CHA), & Security Specialist (CHSS), Florida Licensed Private Investigator (License#C2700919), & Florida Notary Public ID#1190727.

Mr. Christly also serves as the Manager of IT Security and HIPAA Security Officer for a large public healthcare system in Broward County, Florida.
