Resellers in the region get 'Site Survey Services' from Tech Data

The program entitled Site Survey Services, extends the wireless networking expertise that Tech Data gained to the reseller channel. Pradeep Angeveetil, Cisco unit business manager at Tech Data explains: "Resellers that have a wireless networking project to implement can today call us for support. A team from our department will go, together with the reseller, to the client's site, and together work on recommending the best wireless solution architecture possible."

Jon Saunders from Cisco comments: "Programs like the Site Survey Services are key to the development of the channel's business, especially in tapping market opportunities awaiting to be serviced and require a certain level of expertise to support the customers. Tech Data has been always at the forefront of the market in its attempt to equip the channel with the needed expertise."

Angeveetil explains that designing a wireless network is a critical and important phase of the networking project. Factors such as distances between users, wiring requirements, barriers to frequencies and parameters all fall into the formula used to design a powerful network. "The Site Survey Services team acts as a consultant team for resellers to help them implement a successful project."

The Site Survey Services fall under Tech Data's year long "Build VAR Business with Tech Data" initiative that Tech Data announced earlier this year, aiming at growing the revenue opportunities in the region by building the skill set required strengthening technical specialization in the reseller channel. Tech Data training programs have touched in the first half of this year more than 5000 resellers from the region.

Eliot Shepherd, marketing director at Tech Data said: "Our core proposition at Tech Data is to deliver the widest range of IT products to the region's resellers, in the fastest and the most cost effective way. While we continue investing in our core business, bringing value add to the channel becomes one of our unique propositions: expanding the channel profit opportunities and growing the business of our vendor partners."
