Print.IT Reseller - issue 104

PRINTITRESELLER.UK 3 It was interesting this month to break away from the usual topic of print and explore a couple of new (to me) areas. Michael Lloyd, CEO at Nuvola Distribution spoke to me about the opportunity for print and IT resellers to expand share of wallet leveraging technologies including unified communications, cloud and video audio conferencing (page 37). And Colin Blumenthal, Vice President, IT Services Europe at Sharp, talks about the opportunity in IT services. On page 34, Blumenthal shares details about Sharp’s expansion into IT services and outlines some of the opportunities and challenges that diversification has brought. He also notes that selling IT services through Sharp resellers is definitely something the company is looking to do. Also in this issue, Sarah Mackay, Head of Operations at UTAX (UK), picks the work tools she uses every day and couldn’t do her job without (page 18). This month’s Q&A is with Ben Burridge, Director, TB Technology, and PITR spent 60 seconds with David Tulip, Managing Director Network Group and TTG.
