Inside Tech Data’s new endpoint strategy

Linda Rendleman, senior vice president of endpoint solutions for the Americas at Tech Data

Since its acquisition of Avnet Technology Solutions, Tech Data has taken a look at endpoint solutions, including computers, mobile devices, videoconferencing technologies, and much more. And in doing so, it has found an opportunity for a business that’s more solution-based that it has been in the past.

In this edition of the podcast, we’re joined by Linda Rendleman, senior vice president of endpoint solutions for the Americas at Tech Data, and Manal Guirguis, director of product management at Tech Data Canada, to discuss the evolution of the endpoint business at Tech Data, and in the channel more broadly.
