Tech Data Debuts Tool to Make Selling Software Easier
Tech Data is looking to make it easier for the channel to sell and distribute software. The distributor has debuted an application called “StreamOne License Selector” at TechData.com, which it hopes will be the first of many in a series of e-business services to help resellers distribute software that tend to get complex with licensing. Here’s the scoop:
According to Tech Data, StreamOne Software License Selector takes only four steps to use. A guiding interface helps resellers sort through rules, while software-purchasing SKUs find the right software pricing and package for the right customer. Tech Data hopes this speed and ease of use will help resellers find more opportunities and not shy away from the traditionally overly complex process of software licensing.
Almost 40 major software vendors accounting for 99 percent of Tech Data’s commonly purchased software licenses are online with StreamOne. Big names include Adobe, McAfee, Symantec and VMware.
StreamOne is available to resellers under the “Tools” menu on TechData.com
