TD SYNNEX launches Panasonic Toughbook program for SMBs

TD SYNNEX has launched an exclusive program for small and medium-sized business (SMB) partners, offering them accreditation for the market-leading Panasonic TOUGHBOOK. This will allow them to accelerate the growth in sales of ruggedized systems. The program provides resellers with access to TOUGHBOOK specialists, fast-track bid pricing for qualified SMB deals, and enhanced pricing. James Reed, managing director – Endpoint Solutions, UK and Ireland, TD SYNNEX, believes that the growing popularity of ruggedized systems among SMBs is due to a number of factors. During the pandemic, many SMBs identified a requirement for rugged systems that they really could use anywhere, anytime and in any conditions. In addition, shortages of ‘conventional’ laptops meant that more businesses were exposed to ruggedized options. The latest additions of Panasonic TOUGHBOOK have a modular design that makes them easier to customize and to adapt and redeploy for other users. This will enable organizations to extend the lifetime of their

systems and close the sustainability gap by not having to refresh users’ mobile technology as often. TD SYNNEX is committed to serving customers and communities and has always been an innovative partner. TD SYNNEX is dedicated to uniting compelling IT products, services, and solutions from 1,500+ best-in- class technology vendors. Its edge-to-cloud portfolio is anchored in some of the highest- growth technology segments, including cloud, cybersecurity, big data/analytics, IoT, mobility, and everything as a service. TD SYNNEX aspires to be a diverse and inclusive employer of choice for talent across the IT ecosystem.
