"With an 85 per cent growth of our business with Tech Data for this year, we are glad to extend our strategic relationship to include the promising market of Saudi Arabia," said Farid Sabbagh, FSC Distribution Sales Manager.
"The computer reseller channel in the region quickly endorsed the Fujitsu Siemens brand because of its quality, leading edge technology, its most versatile mobility options, competitive pricing and great customer support," said Ahmed Al Azzawi, PC Business Vertical Business Unit Manager at Tech Data.
"Tech Data's success is due to a combination of the extensive reseller base and the knowledgeable sales team that focus on our products," said Sabbagh. "To be successful in IT distribution, a few key elements of your business have to be right, such as relationships, fast and cost effective logistics management, and an extensive knowledge of market requirements. Because Tech Data continues to perform extremely well in these areas we have expanded Tech Data's region of distribution to include Saudi Arabia as well," he added.
Launched in 1999, Fujitsu Siemens Computers has quickly become a leading technology provider worldwide offering a portfolio that includes notebooks, personal computers,
workstations, Intel and Unix based servers, mainframes and storage solutions with its key areas of focus being Mobility and Business Critical Computing. Last year, Tech Data distributed Fujitsu Siemens products in the UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar markets.
"When we took the FSC brand on board last year, we committed to map the successful partnership that our companies have created in Europe to the Middle East. We have achieved that through a phenomenal growth and will work to achieve the same in Saudi Arabia," added Al Azzawi.
TechData has witnessed a phenomenal growth in business after it was made a distribution partner of FSC a year ago. The company has a mature and active reseller customer base in Saudi Arabia, and is capitalizing on several growth opportunities in the Saudi market. With the extension of its FSC distributorship to include Saudi Arabia, TechData will further build on their channel strategy and programs throughout the Kingdom.
By working together FSC and Tech Data will be able to implement educational, training and marketing initiatives to add value to the resellers.
