Zoom Tech ties up with Aussie firm

Australia-based ContentKeeper Technologies, an Internet security company, has announced a tie-up with Hyderabad-based data networking and security solutions firm, Zoom Technologies.

Based on the tie-up, Zoom will set up a 24x7 support centre to cater to ContentKeeper's customers in Europe and America. Zoom will also function as ContentKeeper's reseller in India.

"We plan to recruit 100 people in the next 12 months for the support centre. We foresee an investment of $0.5 million during that period," Peter Wigley, director and chief financial officer of ContentKeeper Technologies, told mediapersons.

ContentKeeper is also looking at setting up a development centre in Hyderabad in the near future. "This is likely to be in conjunction with Zoom Technologies," he added.

The company's existing products enable organisations to monitor corporate access to Internet resources. In the next few months, it plans to come out with e-mail security solutions.
