Commenting on the former, Simon Bennett, Director of Enterprise Software and Cloud at Tech Data UK and Ireland, said: “The explosion in the use of mobile devices has led to mobile device management becoming a big challenge for organisations.

That’s the gap that Google’s Android Essentials is aiming to fill.” New to Tech Data’s assisted and virtual reality solutions portfolio, Glass Enterprise Edition 2 provides workers in retail, manufacturing, healthcare, field services and logistics with two-way communication and voice-activated assistance in problem-solving and just-in-time training. www.techdata.com Exertis has expanded its Samsung range with the addition of fine pixel pitch LED display solutions, including The Wall, Samsung’s high-end microLED modular display.
