TD SYNNEX Professional Services

Implementing new IT infrastructures into a business is no mean feat. Whether the solution is entirely new, or is integrating into an existing system – potentially with other vendor products – there’s sure to be challenges.

TD SYNNEX have the technical expertise and resources to be able to support every partner with their end-customer’s services requirements. Specific services include:

  • Migration Services – either standalone or as part of a wider project
  • Relocation Services – lifting and shifting your customer’s existing infrastructure
  • Health Check Services – to ensure IT systems are working effectively
  • Project Management – stay in control of your projects at all times

Maximise the effectiveness of your sales process and project management when offering HPE services and solutions.

Professional Services should always be introduced at the very start of the sales cycle, as opposed to after the deal is done. This will help to secure the deal and open up other strands of the project for equipment supply and services; creating a more holistic experience for your end customer and a more profitable project for you.

How are these services delivered?

We go to market in two different ways within our established Technical Community:

HPE Partner Ready Services

Certain HPE server and storage solutions require specialist installation, configuration and upgrade services – they’re non-customer installable and require a HPE certified engineer. TD SYNNEX are the only Partner Ready Services Delivery distribution partner for HPE in the UK&I, and we deliver projects in the UK, Europe and beyond.

As a trusted HPE distribution partner, we are certified to install the following HPE solutions:

  • Proliant and Apollo
  • Blade and Synergy
  • SimpliVity
  • MSA
  • Nimble
  • 3PAR
  • Primera
  • Switching
  • StoreOnce and Tape

TD SYNNEX Professional Services

Our TD SYNNEX Professional Services team deliver all of the same vital elements as the HPE Partner Ready Services, but are white-labelled, bespoke and tailored to each individual partner’s requirements.

We understand that partners need to spread their spend across distribution partners. We can install equipment that is purchased from any distributor.

We are skilled in complementary technologies such as VMware, Veeam, Linux, Microsoft and networking which allows us to do more than just installation and start-up of equipment, but also multi-vendor hardware and software solutions.

These additional services include:

  • Onsite bespoke build from components
  • Upgrades
  • Migration
  • Equipment moves

Additionally, outside of our internal resources, we have a trusted network of third party providers who we can engage to work on specific projects with us if required.

Don’t just take our word for it!

Here’s what our customers had to say:

 

“Very happy, Everything was installed on the day and explained clearly and professionally. Thank You”

“Professional and extremely flexible throughout the installation”

“Great job done and hopefully we can work with you in the future”
