09.23.16

TechChannelVideoCast.pngThis week, hosts Charlene O'Hanlon, channel industry editor & writer, and Diane Krakora, CEO of PartnerPath, discuss the recent announcement that Tech Data will purchase Avnet's technology solutions business for $2.6B. 

Earlier this year it was announced that Ingram Micro will be acquired and there continues to be movement in the IT distributor channel this year. What will this acquisition mean for Tech Data? And for Avnet? How will the change affect both their businesses? Is it good news for smaller distributors? Diane and Charlene bat around a few ideas on what too look for in the coming weeks and months.

What do you think of the Tech Data and Avnet deal? Will it benefit partners? Leave a comment below.
