Synnex Canada president Mitchell Martin believes his company can become a player in the enterprise, but it has to sign a few major holdout vendors first.
The final T to be crossed is deciding how the premium offer Dell extended to U.S.-based SYNNEX Varnex members at this year’s spring Varnex will be rolled out in Canada, and that will be decided by, and likely announced at, the fall Varnex event coming up.
NexGen also announced the finalization of its Canadian distribution, which should help improve a Canadian channel which is not yet as strong as they would like.
The long-anticipated arrival of Dell as a SYNNEX partner in Canada assumed more urgency after Dell announced an attractive new program for Varnex members Tuesday. ChannelBuzz has the skinny on when it’s likely to happen.
Dell gives American Varnex members six months to enjoy the benefits of Dell Preferred partner status, with Canadian members to become eligible once the Dell-SYNNEX relationship in Canada formally goes live.
The SYNNEX Canada president also indicated they want to expand the GovSolv practice area in Canada, and see considerable untapped potential for Solv solutions in the pure small business space.
Synnex Canada is refocusing itself with increased attention to its “Solvs” — solutions-centric practice areas around topics like cloud and managed print.
