TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - April 5, 2011) - Today Softchoice Corporation (TSX:SO), a leading provider of IT solutions and services, officially welcomes 40 new Territory Sales Representatives (TSR) to its sales center team. The expansion of the TSR group is aimed at increasing Softchoice's growth and support of the mid-size business segment as technologies like Windows 7, mobile computing and cloud services fuel expectations for a solid year of growth in IT spending.

"On behalf of Softchoice I'd like to extend a warm welcome to the newest members of our team," said David MacDonald, president and CEO of Softchoice. "Today is a significant milestone in increasing our reach in the market and enhancing our ability to help mid-market organizations take advantage of the greatest wave of IT innovation in more than decade."

Beyond supporting the growth and diversification of Softchoice's business, the Territory Sales Division (TSD) expansion is aimed at broadening the Company's focus on growing its talent from within. Over the past few years Softchoice has created new roles within its four regional sales centers to improve customer service, support its network of 46 local sales offices and introduce the value of Softchoice to new customers across North America. The TSD expansion furthers this effort by generating new business opportunities for the Company through increased coverage of the fastest growing market segment. At the same time, it creates another avenue for employees to grow their careers from customer service and inside sales into roles in field sales, sales management, marketing and business development.

"Offering skilled people opportunities for growth is fundamental to our success and the success of the customers we serve," said Scott Harper, Director of Softchoice's Territory Sales Division. "Our expanded team will be a key driver in promoting our broad solutions and services offering and ensuring Softchoice continues to be synonymous with personal and professional development."
