“Our 2016 education focus is based on the success we’ve been building with resellers across this vertical,” says Peter DiMarco, vice president of VAR Sales, computer products division at D&H Distributing. “Due to ongoing programs such as E-Rate and mandates for increased technology in the classroom, we foresee continued momentum in the K-12 vertical and took the opportunity to provide deeper support. With the right tools and solutions, we can enhance the VAR’s ability to negotiate this market, empowering them to grow their practices.”
