Positioning
Tech Data acts as a solutions aggregator for systems integrators like CTC Global, giving you a single route to a multi-vendor portfolio spanning cloud, security, virtualization, and data/AI technologies plus the pre-sales, integration, and financing support to deploy them. Rather than sourcing point solutions vendor-by-vendor, you get lifecycle support from a distributor with 2,500+ vendor relationships across 100+ countries.
Conversation arc
“You've been an end-to-end systems integrator since 1972 — we work with SIs like CTC Global to make sure new practice areas get to market faster without you carrying all the vendor sourcing burden yourself.”
“When you take on a new area like AI or HCI, how much of the pre-sales and certification lift falls on your own team today?”
“Given your Virtualization, HCI, and Security practice areas, our Wind River VAD partnership and cybersecurity distribution could plug directly into what you're already selling.”
“I know you already have direct lines into IBM and Elastic — we're not trying to replace those, we're here for the categories where a broader multi-vendor bench speeds you up.”
“Can we set up 30 minutes with your practice leads to map where our portfolio and enablement services fill gaps in your AI and HCI rollout plans?”
