ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (Aug. 4, 2008) – Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions, a business segment of Arrow Electronics Inc. [NYSE: ARW], today announced that 100 value-added resellers have signed on as partners to its Midmarket Group. The partners are all members of the group’s MPower Midmarket Partner program that was made public in June.
Launched in March 2008, the Midmarket Group was formed to help partners build their midmarket business through its market research, range of technology and industry experts, and solutions customized for midsized companies. The MPower Partner Program provides instant access, via an online partner portal, to a broad range of MPower services and resources to support their business efforts with midsized companies, from marketing campaigns to training and implementation.
“While midmarket companies have historically faced the same technology challenges as Fortune 500 companies, they have lacked the staff, budgets and expertise to solve them,” said Mark Taylor, vice president and general manager of Arrow ECS Midmarket Group. “By collaborating with Arrow ECS, partners can take advantage of our economies of scale to receive the personal support, solutions, and training they require to meet the midmarket’s unique needs.”
CGS Technology Associates, Inc., a leading technology consulting services company serving clients in the Northeast, recently became an MPower partner and closed the channel’s first IBM/XIV Nextra storage deal. “Arrow ECS is the only distributor in the industry with a business group exclusively focused on the midmarket,” said Robert DeCarlo, senior vice president of CGS. “Its MPower program makes it easy to access the hundreds of tools they provide to grow my midmarket customer base. We look forward to watching our successes multiply with this partnership.”
