CHICAGO, Aug. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Tripp
Lite, a world-leading manufacturer of power protection and
connectivity solutions, hosted its annual Strategic Alliance
partner conference on August 1-3,
2018, in Chicago. The
conference was an opportunity for Tripp Lite and its premier
channel partners to strengthen their relationship as they pursue
the mutual goal of continued success.
Against the backdrop of the Chicago skyline, channel partners interacted
with Tripp Lite product experts in the company's Integrated
Solutions Center, a state-of-the-art product showroom and
demonstration space at Tripp Lite corporate headquarters. A popular
topic was the Internet of Things and its reliance on edge
computing, the fastest growing trend in IT. Through informative
breakout sessions, partners learned how Tripp Lite's more than
4,000 products can provide countless solutions for edge-computing
infrastructure. A session was also devoted to the diverse sales and
marketing resources that are available exclusively to Tripp Lite
partners.
The final day of the conference, held at Chicago's historic Theater on the Lake, was
highlighted by the presentation of awards to Tripp Lite's
highest-achieving partners. Synnex was recognized at the platinum
level as the distributor partner with the highest growth in 2017.
Tech Data achieved gold status in the same category. PCM and SHI
received platinum and gold awards, respectively, as the reseller
partners with the highest growth.
Three partners were honored with the 2017 Sales Excellence award
for superior achievement in sales growth, strategic partnership,
accessibility and teamwork. The winners represent the best of the
best in their respective channel: CDW (IT Distribution), Anixter
(Datacom) and Essendant (Office Supply). After the awards ceremony,
a panel of Tripp Lite executives held an interactive question and
answer session.
Overall, the conference provided Tripp Lite's premier partners
with a better understanding of product solutions, as well as sales
and marketing strategies for the coming year. The conference
reinforces Tripp Lite's commitment to channel loyalty.
"Tripp Lite's success depends on the success of our partners.
Our Strategic Alliance conference was a great opportunity to honor
the achievements of our partners and further educate them about the
advantages of partnering with Tripp Lite," said Shane Kilfoil, Senior Vice President of Global
Sales. "We take pride in the excellent support and resources we
offer, and we look forward to another year of collaboration and
growth."
