Take advantage as Chrome pushes into education
T
his is a really exciting time to work with us in the Chromebook market, which looks set to explode in the UK education sector.
Chromebooks recently became the number-one device in the US Education market; IDC recorded that 715,500 Chromebooks were sold to US schools in Q3 last year – and noted that this had been achieved from a standing start in only two years. Google is now focusing on building the UK market. It’s very keen to support you in driving sales and is looking to sign up partners.
Emma Fish, Education Partner Programme Manager at Google says: ‘My role is to support our partners in acting as trusted advisors to schools moving to Google cloud- based technologies. Our authorised partners help students and teachers benefit from the simplicity, shareability and cost-effectiveness of Chromebooks. We are looking to work with partners who will build up Google deployment service offerings to complement the Chromebook sale. We have seen many schools that move to Google reinvest cost
savings from using cloud-based technologies in services to help with migration and deployment.’
We have a dedicated Google team here at Tech Data and can help you become authorised to advise and sell Chrome solutions. Contact Tom Baker by calling 01256 864471 or by emailing

Tendering Workshops planned for April
T
endering Workshops for April are now being planned with dates and venues being finalised. Attending the Workshops will help you understand how to maximise your opportunity and be successful in the tender process. You will learn:
• what you need to do to become tender ready and will review real tender responses • how to respond to government requests for information and formal tenders • about the procurement process • common areas where bids fail • how to find appropriate opportunities and prospect into the public sector
• your rights during the bidding process and the remedies in place should a reseller feel they have been treated unfairly
Whether you have experience or are new to selling to the Public Sector, you will find these interactive workshops of benefit.
From attendee feedback we find that even those who have been successful pick up knowledge and tips on how they can improve.
