Achieve more with Microsoft & Dicker Data

Discover how you can achieve more 

Over the month of November 2019 Dicker Data’s Microsoft team ran a series of dedicated partner enablement days across Australia.

Dicker Data currently offers our Microsoft partners a wealth of resources from presales support, go-to-market services and funding, enablement programs, training, migration services plus much more.

Our discover tour was designed exclusively to help our partners understand how they can leverage our teams capabilities and ensure they are getting the most value from our partnership.

Kicking off in Brisbane, the tour moved through Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and finished in Adelaide, with our team collectively interacting with over 100 of our Microsoft partners.

Partnering with Microsoft speakers, the team were able to go into detail about not only the value of moving to a cloud model with CSP but the specific support systems across both Microsoft and Dicker Data to help get your businesses plan into action.

Based on the growing interest indicated at Discover, Dicker Data has since facilitated 3 Microsoft Get Traction, Partner Elevate workshops which helped our partners get to the basics and plan for their future growth.
