Sharing the forecast of the year ahead, he projected, “Telecom will grow as a
potential vertical, new value proposition will witness the beginning of channel
evolution, experimentation with cloud computing model will increase but would
not become mainstream, and infrastructure management will grow.”
“Partners should identify the potential areas like telecom, e-governance,
service security and their own niche areas and plan their business strategies
accordingly. The hot products like portable devices and notebooks, and solutions
like green technology should be promoted in the market in order to generate more
benefit,” Roy of DQ Channels said.
The event, which saw attendance by more than 100 channel partners of Delhi,
was held in association with Zyxel and Unistal.
