Tech Data is launching two new Boost Communities – one for collaboration and security – that will bring partners together to share experiences and ideas and gain insights and knowledge on how to grow their sales.
Tech Data, UK’s Cisco director, Tony Nevill said that a Boost Community for Cisco data centres was launched in autumn last year. The aim is to emulate this success in security and collaboration, which present enormous opportunities for partners.
“The goal with the Boost Communities is to bring together Cisco partners and enable them to feed off and learn from each other. It’s worked well with data centre solutions, and we expect the same kind of positive engagement and activity with security and collaboration, both of which are fast-moving and rapidly-growing areas of business for Cisco partners”, Nevill said.
There will be a range of activities in which the community members can get involved, including regular online webinars and workshops and an online forum. Resellers also sign up for Tech Data’s Cisco Momentum programme and learn about and take advantage of the various tools and resources Tech Data offers to Cisco partners, including the 1Source rapid quoting platform.
