SYNNEX
Corporation (NYSE: SNX), a leading distributor of IT products and
services, today announced its participation in the Microsoft Devices
Program, empowering the organization to resell Surface Pro and Surface
RT to commercial customers. The goal of the Microsoft Devices Program is
to serve customers by activating Microsoft’s channel of partners to
resell its devices to businesses of all sizes, from the classroom to the
boardroom.
Microsoft’s Devices Program dovetails into SYNNEX’ Microsoft Global
Business Unit’s larger end-to-end strategy. SYNNEX created this specific
business unit not only to align better to Microsoft’s service and device
strategy, but to better serve the needs of the greater Microsoft partner
ecosystem. SYNNEX’ Microsoft Global Business Unit is a fully dedicated,
authorized and comprehensive Microsoft team comprised of tenured product
category specialists, retail specialists, TPAMs, and qualified licensing
experts in the US, Canada and Japan. SYNNEX’ full-time dedication of a
business unit to Microsoft products equates to a better approach for
strategic launches such as Surface, bringing more value to its resellers.
“Microsoft’s decision to bring Surface to the IT channel is very timely
as the market shifts to where business customers increasingly seek
devices that can span both work and personal needs,” said Rob Moyer,
Vice President, Microsoft Global Business Unit, SYNNEX Corporation.
“SYNNEX is very well positioned to help bring solutions that matter to
Microsoft and our partners to market. We are totally behind Microsoft
through our core business and are able to bring opportunities to our
solution providers, whether through our strong vertical practices or
technology solutions.”
“Bringing Surface Pro and Surface RT to the U.S. commercial channel
through distributors extends the reach of our devices-and-services
strategy, delivering our family of devices enabled by cloud services to
more organizations than ever before,” said Eric Martorano, Senior
Director U.S. SMB Channel Group for Microsoft Corp. “We look forward to
working closely with our Microsoft devices authorized distributors to
better serve their partners and create compelling solutions together.”
The Microsoft Partner Network is designed to equip organizations that
deliver products and services through the Microsoft platform with the
training, resources and support they need to provide their customers
superior experience and outcomes. Launching first in the U.S., Microsoft
Devices Program creates a two-tier distribution model with authorized
partners to enable commercial customers to purchase Surface Pro and
Surface RT.
