Dell continues to build ties with distributors across the globe after inking a Latin American agreement with Bell Micro.
Under the terms of the partnership, Bell will distribute Dell laptops and netbooks to retailers and SMEs throughout the region.
The move is yet another signal that the vendor is increasingly favouring a two-tier channel model, two years after it officially entered the channel with its PartnerDirect programme.
