Tech Data Launches Tech-as-a-Service Offering

Tech Data announced the launch of “Tech-as-a-Service,” (TaaS), a new offering that enables solution providers to bundle hardware, software, and services into a single monthly subscription. Services can be scaled-up or scaled-down throughout the course of the subscription term, based on the desires of the client as well as shifting business conditions.

“Through this new end-to-end model, our customers can enable their clients to grow in next-generation technologies without a large capital outlay, by allowing end customers to pay a monthly subscription,” said Linda Rendleman, vice president of product marketing at Tech Data. “Best of all, our channel partners are able to share cutting-edge technologies that their customers need to run their businesses—while leveraging Tech Data’s specialized services or delivering their own—all under one subscription.”

Partner benefits include up-front, in-full payments to reduce the number of cash days, an accelerated refresh cycle that includes automatic renewal with device upgrades, and the availability of specialized services.

The program is available immediately in the U.S. and is expected to launch during the first quarter of 2018 in Canada.
