Westcon Group decided to join the GTDC following an invitation that was extended previously. By gaining membership to this channel organisation, the company plans to engage collaboratively in discussions to help promote and shape efficient business practices in the IT channel and specifically distribution.
Tom Dolan, president and CEO of Westcon Group, commented: “The GTDC is in an excellent position to positively influence issues that affect the whole channel. It provides a forum for all of us to discuss and address common challenges. For Westcon Group, membership is particularly interesting from the perspective of establishing new relationships with new vendors and other distributors among other things.”
The GTDC currently has 13 members including Westcon Group, representing companies in North America, Europe and Asia. In addition to serving its own member community, the organisation also strives to provide value to vendors, analysts and the press by engaging in detailed research projects and holding significant industry events such as the Global Technology Distribution Summit.
