Tech Data U.S. Again Named Top Distributor By Fujitsu Computer Products Of America

For the eighth consecutive year, Tech Data Corporation has been recognized as Distributor of the Year, Product & Service by Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. The leading IT products distributor received the honor during the Fujitsu annual One Capture Alliance Premier Partner Conference. The Fujitsu Annual Channel Awards winners "exemplify a true commitment to innovation that results in the highest sales and world-class business performance."

"Fujitsu is an extremely valuable partner for Tech Data and our reseller customers," said Wendy Linsky, Tech Data vice president, Peripherals Product Marketing. "Through our Document Imaging Specialized Business Unit, we provide the channel's most comprehensive support for Fujitsu imaging solutions. The growth we continue to achieve in the imaging market can be attributed to Fujitsu's strong commitment to educating the channel and the successful initiatives we've developed together to better enable resellers to deliver the latest content management solutions."

Last year, Tech Data and Fujitsu collaborated to train the Document Imaging SBU on AIIM's Enterprise Content Management (ECM) program. AIIM's ECM program instructs imaging professionals on the strategies, tools and technologies used to capture, manage, store, preserve and deliver information in support of business operations. Tech Data became the first distributor to have its entire document imaging team complete this training, enabling them to further enhance the specialized support they provide. Tech Data's Document Imaging SBU team members also hold CompTIA's CDIA+ (certified document imaging architech) certification.

"Fujitsu is proud to recognize Tech Data with this award for the eighth consecutive year," said Victor Kan, vice president of sales and marketing, Imaging Products Group, Fujitsu Computer Products of America, Inc. "The enterprise content management market continues to grow, with demand rising across small businesses, midsized companies and large enterprises. With the help of partners like Tech Data, Fujitsu is able to meet those demands and effectively deliver the products and services end users need"
