Wordware Distributors (M) Sdn Bhd has chalked up a significant number of successes since its appointment as the Asia Pacific Master Distributor for New York-based EC-Council last May.
In just under a year, the Malaysian company has signed up country distributors in Malaysia, Singapore, India, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, Thailand and New Zealand
In a statement, an EC-Council representative said, “We are very pleased with Wordware’s progress as it has achieved almost a 70% success rate in recruiting country distributors in its first year of operations. Our confidence in Wordware has been justified.”
EC-Council or the International Council of Electronic Commerce Consultants is a professional organization that provides certification of e-Business skills in three areas, namely technical, content management and business management. Some of the e-Business programs it offers are Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures, Customer Relationship Management and Supply Chain Management.
As master distributor, Wordware acts as the main liaison and support centre for its network of country distributors in the region. The company also carries out marketing and promotional activities to create awareness and promote the brand image of EC-Council and relevance of e-Business programs to the current economic and business landscape.
In addition, Wordware provides up-to-date information on matters pertaining to EC-Council and e-Business programs. It also assists in formulating strategies to recruit Accredited Training Centers and helps draft marketing plans to target corporate and end-users. The company also organizes speakers and trainers and offers constant counsel on the overall management and administration of the respective country offices.
Wordware also demonstrates its continued support by participating in e-Business exhibitions hosted in countries like the Philippines and Thailand. It also attends seminars, presents papers and organizes speakers for talks and presentations to corporations and government agencies in different locations within the region.
Prior to the appointment of Wordware Global Services Sdn Bhd as country distributor by Wordware early this year, the latter implemented a year-long program to promote EC-Council and e-Business courses in Malaysia.
Among the program highlights were the launch of a Breakfast Club, organization of seminars and sales trainings and PR activities to establish the branding of EC-Council.
For example, the Breakfast Club was launched last September at the prestigious Banker’s Club in Kuala Lumpur. Wordware managed the exclusive club of nine ATCs and designed successful activities that heightened the awareness of e-Business courses and increased student intake.
The company also organized two crowd pulling seminars entitled “Ethical Hacking and Countermeasures” and “CRM - The Customer Centric, Success Driven Solution”. Both seminars attracted media coverage and resulted in higher student recruitment.
“We are looking forward to more exciting things from Wordware and its country distributors. Although the world is undergoing a difficult time at the moment, we believe Wordware will be able to lead the regional offices and help them overcome challenges along the way,” the spokesperson added.
