The Frontier Distributor designation recognises top-performing cloud solution provider (CSP) distributors who demonstrate “excellence in support, security, channel enablement and platform innovation, as well as technical delivery”.

“We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Microsoft, and the Frontier Distributor designation is a solid recognition of the work we do together,” said Anand Chakravarthy, VP of advanced solutions for Tech Data Asia Pacific Japan.

“APJ is one of the fastest-growing technology markets in the world. With massively increasing demand for speed and automation, our partners need a distributor that can keep pace; one that helps them deliver the right solutions, build their cloud practices and deliver secure outcomes for their customers.”
