Alameda, CA – November 28th, 2011 – EduTone today announced a strategic partnership agreement with San-Diego based GigaKOM, whereby EduTone’s California based Systems Integration business will be merged with GigaKOM.  As part of the agreement, GigaKOM will be supplying systems integration and managed services to all of EduTone’s existing clients in California and will be authorized to resell EduTone’s products and services to K12 schools in California.

“This partnership expands our sales and support resources in the state of California,” said Robert Iskander, CEO of EduTone. “GigaKOM’s phenomenal track record and 100% focus on K-12 education was the deciding factor in their selection as our strategic partner that will directly serve and support all of our existing customers in California.  We will continue to innovate the capabilities of our cloud-based EduTone Xchange(TM) award-winning Platform but will rely on our partners to implement it for our clients.”

“The synergies between EduTone and GigaKOM are compelling,” said Andrej Komatina, Founder & CEO of GigaKOM. “This will immediately expand our existing technical resources and clients in Northern California, and will enhance our K-12 education solution portfolio with EduTone’s products. We are very excited about this strategic acquisition and partnership!”

GigaKOM will immediately serve all of EduTone’s existing accounts in Northern California and will transition all of the EduTone Systems Integration resources to be part of its expanding sales and technical support team.
