Tech Data reveals dedicated Google Chrome website
Basingstoke, 02 July 2015 – Tech Data has unveiled a Google Chrome-dedicated microsite (see google.techdata.co.uk), designed to provide information and sales support for resellers on the wide extensive range of Chrome products that are available from the company.
With its own dedicated Google team in place, Tech Data is able to provide training and business development support to resellers on the wide selection of Chromebook (mobile), Chromebox (desktop) and Chromebase (all-in-one) devices, it offers as well as Chrome Management Console (CMC) and Chromebox for Meetings video-conferencing tool.
The Chrome microsite features a device finder that allows partners to access live stock and pricing information and provide an instant quote for customers. A news section helps partners keep up to date with the latest developments and success stories. Resellers can also register to become a Google Partner on the site. It also provides details of additional configuration services available from Tech Data, which include pre-shipment device set-up, domain provisioning, asset tagging and CMC policy configuration.
Matt Beresford, Google Business Development Manager at Tech Data, states: “We have been working with Google for some time to create the microsite and integrate it into our InTouch e-commerce system. It’s designed to highlight the benefits of Chrome products and help resellers to identify the best options for customers. We’ve seen growing interest in Chrome over the past few months, particularly from the education sector. With the summer holiday break approaching, many schools will be looking at mobile devices for use in the classroom, while parents will be on the hunt for something that is practical and affordable for the kids to use at home, so now is a great time for resellers to start talking about the benefits of Chrome solutions and for retailers to start planning their summer campaigns and displays.”
Tech Data It is the exclusive UK distributor for CMC, the web-based management system that makes it easy to deploy and control users, devices and apps across a fleet of Chrome devices. CMC provides administrators with more than 120 policies that can be applied to a fleet of devices, backed by 24/7 support. Tech Data also offers Chromebox for Meetings, a simple, yet powerful video conferencing tool that allows up to 15 simultaneous users to engage in a single conferencing session, and stocks a wide range of Chromebooks and desktop devices from leading vendors such as Acer, Asus, HP, LG and Toshiba.
