Avnet gets to grips with the Fundamentals

Distributor launches swathe of training modules covering the latest trends and technological developments

Avnet has taken the wraps off a new training programme for its UK partners, with the launch of SolutionsPath Fundamentals.

According to the distribution giant, the programme consists of training modules covering 13 technology and two business areas, including BYOD, cloud computing and virtualised desktop infrastructure.

The distributor claims the scheme will educate its business partners on the latest trends and encourage them to share vital knowledge with their own team. Partners will be able to attend quarterly or biannual face-to-face training sessions or study online.

Laura Harman (pictured), sales director at Avnet Technology Solutions UK, said: “Today, organisations are looking for more than just technical expertise. By working closely with Avnet and exploiting the full potential of the SolutionsPath methodology, our business partners will learn how to add real value to the latest technology areas, giving them the confidence they need to deliver solutions that tangibly meet their customers’ business objectives.

“Ultimately, closer customer engagement will positively impact business partners’ performance, helping them achieve growth targets and tap into some of the most rapidly expanding markets in the industry.”

She added: “Avnet’s new programme addresses the crucial issue of training across the entire channel. It is relevant for business partner employees wishing to be knowledgeable in growth technology areas or business basics, whether they are new to the IT market, looking to expand their skill set or in need of a refresh on the latest topics in the market. We are actively promoting the sharing of knowledge and building a pipeline of bright new talent who will support the development of the channel in the future.”
