Why NZ distribution is amazing!

Why NZ distribution is amazing?

We love local Dell (and other vendor) channel partners.

Living, learning and sharing knowledge in the NZ ICT community.

Loving local partners!

Local partners understand local business, helping end users deliver and we support them. Many partners have special capabilities in consulting, implementation and deployment and managed I.T support for all ICT needs.


Partners can offer services like heat maps and migration of data (without breaking the bank) with zero fuss to help internal I.T resources or outsource completely. This is where the channel network shines.

So why is working in distribution and the NZ channel community so much fun?

Why Ingram Micro NZ? Why Dell? Why you?


  1. We protect local partners and work with them.
  2. Multi vendor capability (solutions) and multi vendor support. 240 brands under the Ingram NZ umbrella (16 core) if one can't help, our colleague can.
  3. Stock on hand ability (urgency). Partners able to offer a buffer program.
  4. Our partners have a direct line to our in house Dell solution architect and my phone number. Want to talk to a real person? we've got you covered :)
  5. Strong vendor relationship with Dell. Over 50+ connections and counting!
  6. Partners add huge value with services, buffer and I.T consultation.
  7. Improved credit terms and financing. More flexibility for the NZ SMB market.
  8. Available for in person client meetings. Let's get white boarding!
  9. Reach, scale and volume. 550k SME's in NZ. Approx 5k I.T resellers.
  10. We don't sell, we deliver & support. Assisting projects from $5k to $2m.

In conclusion, distributors are ingrained in the channel partner community.

We see things, we hear things in the market, giving us industry perspective.

We also get to treat the little guys just like the big guys (with fab service).


Partnerships wow me daily with their unique and specialised skills.

So distribution land? It's fun, it's fast and you have to hold on to your hat.
