Seagate and Rectron have recently entered into a distribution agreement, so this was the first initial joint event hosted by both companies to bring the reseller channel up to speed with Seagates new product offering in both the retail and the system builder space.
 
Says Cherraine Botes, Rectron channel marketing manager: We found the event to be incredibly successful and we believe that those clients attending found it both valuable to their business development as well as enjoyable.
 
International guests included Alistair Stewart, who is the sales director for Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, as well as Gulfem Cakmakci, who is the channel senior sales manager for Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa.
 
Ten lucky customers walked off with thousands of rands worth of Seagate retail products, which were handed over by Stewart.
 
Says Botes: Rectron is committed to providing better, more consistent communications to our Channel Partners so we have put an annual dealer events calendar in place where we partner with our strategic vendors to bring the correct messaging to the channel. Look out for the Microsoft & AMD Vista road show, which will be hosted in Midrand, Durban and Cape Town in early November.
