Tech Data to build out Dynamics 365 team following key appointment

Dynamics sales lead also joins from CRM partner

Tech Data is investing in a dedicated Dynamics 365 team to boost the Microsoft services it offers to partners.

As part of the investment, Ian Turner has joined from CRM specialist Preact to drive business development.

"The opportunity is enormous and we will be looking to get more partners activated and enabled to take CRM solutions to market - and to encourage further collaboration across our partner ecosystem," he said.

Last year Tech Data teamed up with specialist Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner GCC to provide resellers with what it said was a simple solution to help migrate customers to new Dynamics platforms.

Dwayne Earl, software business manager at Tech Data, added: "We have built a very strong team and ecosystem of CSP partners over the last three years, focusing mainly on Office 365 and Azure.

"We now see a considerable opportunity to take the same approach with Dynamics 365 and support partners in developing their knowledge of the product and go-to-market capability."
