A bit of history
When Michael Dell founded his business in 1984 he had a clear and simple concept, build computers and sell directly to the end user. History tells that this was a pretty smart move. Another key to Dell’s evolution has been its ability to adapt rapidly to the ever changing computer market.
As a part of this evolution, Dell realised that, although an established World leader in supply of computer hardware, it could not reach many customers through its direct sell model. To redress this would involve a huge change in a key Dell principle, with the introduction of Dell solution partners!
Getting to where we are today..
For many years Taran Microsystems Limited and Dell Incorporation have had an ‘unofficial partnership’ in place. When Dell took the decision to evaluate the idea of launching a reseller partnership program, Taran was involved, attending workshops to discuss the structure of the program.
The Dell PartnerDirect program was established and Taran became one of the first companies in the UK to register as a Dell Channel Partner.
Mid way through 2008 Dell announced the launch of their Dell Certified Channel Partner Program. This addition to Dell’s global PartnerDirect program was put in place to provide partners with the opportunity to develop deeper working relationships with Dell and become expert product specialists. As you would expect, Taran was at the front of the queue to sign up.
After completion of the required elements of training and then passing all of the relevant exams, Taran was one of the earliest companies to achieve the status of Dell Certified Channel Partner, in the UK.
Why it’s good to be Certified!
The Dell Certified Channel Partner Program enables partners to gain in depth knowledge of the latest Dell solutions and therefore offer customers the most accurate and up to date information, and thus, the best Dell solution for them.
Taran has received both sales and technical certification in two key product areas, Dell Enterprise and Dell EqualLogic SAN Storage. Dell Enterprise and EqualLogic products are global market leaders and offer fantastic performance and value and, coupled with Taran’s expert knowledge and exemplary installation and support backup, our customers are guaranteed to get the most out of every pound of their IT budget.
The certification program offers ongoing training, product road mapping and much more, covering all business products sold by Dell. Frequent Partner solutions events bring together partners with the latest that Dell has to offer as well as regular meetings with Dell’s key strategic vendor partners.
All of this offers Taran, as a Certified Partner, an unparalleled level of knowledge enabling us to offer the best Dell solution for the task.
