Psion today announced that it has signed a reseller contract with BT Global Services for the networked IT services provider to resell Psion’s products as part of its BT Field Force Automation solutions to enterprise and public sector customers.

BT Global Services will initially sell Psion’s rugged mobile computers to customers in the UK, Germany and France, but it is anticipated that the contract will extend to other markets in the future.

John Conoley, chief executive of Psion said, “No company understands the value of communications and mobile working more than BT, so naturally we’re delighted with the start of what we expect will be a long and successful relationship. Its customers are leaders in their fields and among the biggest in the world. It opens up some extremely exciting mutual business opportunities and we very much look forward to growing the business together. Working with BT Global Services in this way is very significant for Psion.”

Jonathan Brasnett, Head of Global Mobility Capability, BT Global Services, said, “Psion is one of the pioneers of mobile computing, and its products enable us to provide market leading solutions to our customers. They are an important addition to our existing product portfolio and will enable us to deliver effective solutions to our customers that will help them to mobilise their field sales and service, logistics, supply chain and transportation, and generally make their mobile employees much more productive. We are confident to include Psion products within our portfolio with their reputation for product capability, durability and reliability.”
