Leading IT distributor Mindware and Microsoft recently hosted a channel partner event in Doha to highlight the latter’s products and volume licensing policies.

This is in line with the companies’ aim to reach out and increase its reseller network, thereby leveraging the stable IT spending projected in the country, said said Jeff Jacob, Microsoft unit manager, Mindware.

“Our commitment to build a stronger reseller network for Microsoft products is aimed at maintaining a wider channel breadth that can provide outstanding coverage in the country’s markets,” said Jacob. “We have seen our relationship with Microsoft grow at the same pace as the expansion of our operations in the region, which made us even more enthusiastic to provide excellent coverage for their products.

“We are also seeking to give our channel partners a heads up on Microsoft’s newest and most successful products, more information on the volume licensing policies and how they can use these to their advantage.”

Moderate growth is being expected in IT spending within the Middle East region, as well as in Central and Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America, according to recent reports. -TradeArabia News Service
