TechSelect Tech Data’s Premier Partner Community
PROGRAM SUMMARY Exclusive. Innovative. Collaborative. Those are just some of the words that describe our national community of approximately 66 VARs who continually position themselves at the forefront of change and innovation. The TechSelect program is designed to nurture the success of its members through business skills education, engagement and a wide range of services and support. This program delivers numerous opportunities for vendor partners to interact with a successful and respected group of solution providers. This includes a series of highly strategic Partner Conferences, regional events, monthly communications and eMarketing campaigns. This is your opportunity to engage with leading SMB solution providers who are committed to growing their business utilizing your products and services. In fact, the TechSelect members have demonstrated over 36% growth YOY as compared to a control group of like customers growing at approximately 5%. Similarly, TechSelect sponsoring vendor partners have grown over 25% YOY within the TechSelect membership making this one of Tech Data’s most sought-after programs. Target Audience and Program Success The TechSelect Community is made up of 66 of Tech Data’s most engaged reseller partners and represents more than 11 percent of Tech Data’s current revenue in FY17. These elite VARS are a loyal and involved group who see the value in the vendor investments as well as the membership community. For FY17, the TechSelect community members projected sales are more than $140 million. “I have been a part of the TechSelect community for three years. In that time, I’ve found exceptional value that has accelerated my business. The engagement with the sponsoring vendor partners, best-in-class support from the Tech Data team and several networking opportunities with the other members throughout the year is second to none. I could not gain this amount of knowledge and value that directly impacts my business and ability to meet my customers’ demands elsewhere in the Canadian IT channel.” Brian Oleksiuk, President, Oxygen Technical Services There are two levels of TechSelect participation as outlined on the following pages.
