Tech Data Canada Drives Forward into 2011 with a 'Shift to Value'
New Technology Services team changes the distribution landscape
Feb. 11, 2011 (Business Wire) -- Tech Data Canada, a leading distributor of IT products and logistics management, today announced the formation of a new Technology Services division, further strengthening its commitment to provide vendors and customers unparalleled value in the distribution channel.
This new division, headed by Richard Toledo, Manager, Technology Services, will combine pre-sales technical resources with Tech Data Canada’s industry-leading Integration Services team to form one robust organization that offers consulting, support and training. Key to this endeavor is the newly expanded Advanced Technology Solutions Centre (ATSC), a one-of-a-kind demonstration and training facility where leading edge IT solutions can be showcased in fully operational working environments thus supporting sales opportunities for Tech Data Canada’s reseller and vendor partners.
“The formation of this division provides all of our stakeholders with unprecedented value,” says Sukh Randhawa, VP Business Operations. “Furthermore, Tech Data is the only Canadian distributor, broad line or VAD, that boasts over 30 technical resources ranging from A+ all the way to MCSE, CCNA/NP/IE/DA and VTSP.”
The Technology Services team will complement and collaborate with Tech Data Canada’s AIS (Advanced Infrastructure Solutions) division. Launched in 2009, the AIS division executes Tech Data Canada’s approach of reseller enablement and engagement through such product offerings as server and storage, virtualization and consolidation, remote network management and monitoring, and security products and services.
Tech Data Canada, already well positioned as a broad line distributor, has now significantly changed the distribution landscape with its value-added offerings while venturing deep into territories that even VADs will have trouble competing with.
