Tech Data Business Builder Tour returns to Toronto for 2010
Mississauga, ON – May 19, 2010 – Tech Data Canada, a leading distributor of IT products, logistics management and other value-added services, today kicks off its third annual Business Builder Tour with its first stop in Toronto. This year’s tour includes six stops – Toronto, Québec City, Montréal, Calgary, Vancouver and Ottawa – each promising resellers the opportunity to engage with leading hardware manufacturers, software companies, industry experts and Tech Data executives to discuss current trends and solutions for capitalizing on the demand from end-users of all sizes in the public and private sectors.
More than 1,600 IT resellers have participated in the cross-country event since its inception in 2008, and close to 1,000 more are expected to attend this year to learn about products from more than 30 vendor exhibitors. A key focus for this year’s Business Builder Tour is on data centre solutions, and throughout the event resellers will have the opportunity to explore the latest technology available to the channel. Tech Data’s Advanced Infrastructure Solutions (AIS) Division will demonstrate the most effective ways resellers can deploy servers, storage, virtualization, management software and high-end networking technologies to deliver fully optimized and converged data centre solutions.
“Cloud computing or storage virtualization is a really simple idea,” explains Tech Data Canada’s Vice President of Marketing, Greg Myers. “But the impact on your business is what makes it such a rich offering. We have a team of experts in our AIS division that can offer advice and expertise on how to effectively communicate the benefits of cloud computing to the end-user.”
Along with resources from Tech Data’s AIS division, sales specialists from across Tech Data’s organization will be on-hand to demonstrate to resellers how distribution can help build business, streamline operations and cut costs.
Tech Data’s Business Builder Tour was recognized earlier this year by ECN as Canada’s Best Industry Event in 2009 – as chosen by the channel community. With scheduled stops in six cities across Canada over the course of the year, the BBT enables resellers, hardware manufacturers, software publishers and Tech Data to engage one another, build stronger partnerships and develop strategies to profitably capitalize on the industry’s latest technology trends. This event leverages Tech Data’s unmatched technical expertise, broad product knowledge and specialized solutions sales support capabilities, enabling resellers to learn about emerging technologies and quickly add them to their solutions offering.
