Some of you may know Dell have introduced an official partner model so they can sell through the channel. up until today they had signed up a large number of resellers that simply had to ask could they resell.

NCI have been reselling Dell for the last 4 years really successfully so we saw the value in investing in the partner model and today became the first official Dell Certified Partner in the UK after completing a series of exams and training.

only 50 companies will hold the title in the UK. Many are already working on the training modules ensuring their staff are completely aware of the requirements so we at NCI are again very pleased to have completed another first in our industry.

This will benefit our customers more than they may think as we will be passing on the additional discounts we get and giving them even better trained staff to maintain their networks.

We still plan on focusing in the SME market but now hope to gain a stronger foothold in the enterprise due to our expanded portfolio.
