Datatec`s Westcon Group division is now ranked ninth largest distribution partner in the world by major US channel publication, VARBusiness. This well-respected channel publication ranks distribution companies and Value Added Resellers (VAR`s) annually according to estimated wholesale-only revenue. This year the Westcon Group leapt to number nine on the Distribution 25 list from number 29 last year.
Terry Kelly, managing director of Westcon South Africa, says: "This ranking is important to the company as VAR Business is a key source of information for our customers and its endorsement of our offering is important for the company as we move forward."
Jeff Solomon, strategic and organisational development executive of Westcon South Africa adds: "According to the VAR Business Distribution 25 ranking, Westcon is the leading specialist networking distribution company, in its position of ninth after the top five full-line distribution companies and the niched distribution companies in positions six to eight. With the latest acquisitions, Westcon is undoubtedly establishing itself as the focused and leading channel partner for networking and communication products."
Westcon South Africa is the only major distributor that offers all five major brands - Cisco, 3Com, Nortel, Lucent and Motorola. This is a major benefit to clients as Westcon can perform comparisons of all products offered.
