Equanet is partner of choice for Lenovo tablet

VAR picked as B2B launch partner in the UK to bring its ThinkPad tablet to the business masses

Equanet has been picked as the first Lenovo partner to launch the vendor's B2B tablet to the business market.

The Dixons Retail-owned VAR recently held a joint event with the vendor to promote the ThinkPad tablet to its SMB and enterprise customers and encourage uptake.

Phil Birbeck, managing director of DSGi Business, said: "Lenovo's ThinkPad is a great example of a tablet designed exclusively for business and really redraws the boundaries for what a tablet can do in a business environment.

"This joint launch will help our customers understand the capabilities of tablets within the workplace and the extent to which tablets can complement existing technologies."

Francesca Vickers, UK SMB marketing manager at Lenovo, said: "Equanet is an ideal partner for Lenovo. It has great relationships with business communities within the UK and they have first-hand knowledge of tablet integration for business consumers.

"We are very excited to work with Equanet as the first partner to launch the ThinkPad tablet to the B2B community, as they will be a perfect platform to demonstrate the quality of our ThinkPad tablets, the ease in which they can be integrated into businesses and strength of this partnership."
