Tech Data has been appointed as sole UK and Ireland Platinum Value Added Distributor for Micro Focus, the provider of enterprise application software. To obtain this highest-level of accreditation, Tech Data has made investment in developing its skills and capabilities in Micro Focus software solutions. It has put technical and sales staff through the vendor’s training programme and Micro Focus partners will now be supported by the Growth Vendor team within Tech Data Advanced Solutions, managed by Lynda Edwards, Business Unit Manager, with further resource and backing available from the Professional Services practice.
The Micro Focus range includes solutions in the areas of enterprise development, hybrid IT management, predictive analytics, security, risk and governance.
Tech Data will be looking to work with both existing Micro Focus partners and those who are new to the extended range of solutions – to grow sales, drive profitability and increase customer satisfaction, said Simon Bennett (pictured), Business Unit Director Advanced Solutions at Tech Data UK and Ireland.
“Our appointment as the sole UK and Ireland Platinum VAD partner for Micro Focus is a great achievement for Tech Data and testament to the team’s dedication and skill. As a Platinum VAD, we will be able to deliver the higher levels of service and support on the complete Micro Focus range. We see huge growth potential for the company’s applications in the enterprise market and will be working hard to deliver the trusted advice and service that will support partners as they extend the reach of Micro Focus solutions and develop their business potential.”
In addition, Tech Data is about to launch an incentive scheme for resellers on the vendor’s data protection solutions. The six-month programme will see a number of resellers rewarded for their sales achievements with an end-of-summer trip to Ibiza.
