UK Distributors ? 1

[Khosher]

Hi Guys,

We are moving into the IPOffice. We are a Nortel shop and it makes sense for us. I would just like to ask your opinions on UK distributors. I know of 3, SS,N,WC

I would just like to get your opinions on who you guys would recommend. As we are only starting out in this product, good training and support is our primary concern along with good stock level.

Thanks for any feedback.

The best Teck guy from N is moving on, He has been away from IPO for a bit but defo no good news for them.
Also i heard they lost the majority of the Avaya team in the last month, buying R may not have been a great move by Mr N.

Is there a reason no one has named any Distis? Are they like voldemort?

It is about the same over here.

Hi All,

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry for being cryptic I just didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings or slate anyone in particular.

It seems lke the general consensus is

1. Scansocurce
2. Westcon
3. Nimans

Which is not how I would have imagined it to be. I would of thought Nimans would have been on top. However that's why I was asking for you guys experience. Is there anyone else that you would recommend or is it just those top 3 ?

 

[TomMills]

out of interest, what made you think nimans would be on top?

Hi Tom,

I don't know to be honest. It was just a perception I had.

Scansource are the biggest ipo disti in Europe and the US now.

 

[Khosher]

HSM,

Thanks, I have been leaning towards Scansource based on the feedback here.

 

[tlpeter]

I would be afraid of bigger distri's to be honest.
Bigger does not always mean better or faster.
Often the opposite apply.

Bigger means you're just a small meaningless account # a lot of times..

tlpeter & h382,

I agree that can be the case. Would you recommend another ?

Thanks
