Developed in conjunction with Orrlo, an independent outsourced service provider, this strategic partnership enhances Data Direct’s partner programmes supporting dealer business models, and taps into the strengths of an established organisation. Powered by Orrlo, Simply Support is nationwide, meaning any business, large, small, growing, weakening, historic or startup, can support its clients, anywhere, 24/7. A dealer’s own service delivery can be either complemented or completely outsourced. Sales Director Marianne Chamberlain, said: “These past COVID years have made us acutely aware that we must enhance our offering, not just providing market-leading toner consumables and more, but more solutions to help our dealer partners deliver the very best for their end-user customers. We have enhanced our own programme delivery with obvious IT & logistics-led bolt-ons, but Simply Support is something special. Delivering the promise of great customer service and support is not easy, but we can with Simply Support.” www.data-direct.co.uk Derby IT business supports local community IT company Neuways is teaming up with the Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance to provide the charity with a range of supplies for the local community ahead of the festive season. The food bank charity, based in the heart of Derby City Centre will ensure that the donation from Neuways is dispersed throughout the community to those that need it the most over the winter months. The contributions given by Neuways’ staff and directors, range from essential hygiene products to children’s toys, as well as warm winter clothing and advent calendars. Julia Carty, Head of Business Support and Accounts said: “Many of us are feeling the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and at Neuways we wanted to make the hardest time of the year for some, a little easier, so we have chosen to support a local charity that do so much within Derby for those who really need it.” www.neuways.com Exclusive benefits to AWS partners Tech Data has launched a new AWS Trusted Partner Program (TPP) to enable its most dedicated AWS resellers to fast track their progress on their chosen AWS path. Resellers who join the program will be recognised with official Tech Data AWS Trusted Partner status and will have access to additional resources, expertise and bespoke business growth planning. The program is aimed at partners who have already made a clear strategic commitment to invest in and grow their AWS business. Invited partners will complete a Tech Data cloud maturity assessment, which provides insight on the current capabilities and future AWS growth objectives. Tech Data’s expert in-house AWS team will use the information gathered in this assessment to create a tailored growth path for each participating partner business. Tech Data TPP participants can access additional benefits on top of those already conferred by the AWS partner program, boosted by Tech Data’s own AWS experts and cloud marketing teams. These incremental rewards are accessed as partners progress on their AWS trusted partner journey. www.techdata.com Marianne Chamberlain
