Westcon Group, which focuses on the networking, convergence, security and mobility market, has added Microsoft to its roster for the first time. The agreement applies only to the United States at this time. Through the deal, the two companies will focus on service-oriented offerings, which include unified communications, virtualization, Microsoft BPOS hosted services and security solutions integration.
