Technology Distributions (TD), Sub-Saharan Africa’s biggest ICT distributor, has underlined its readiness to stake a rightful claim for the leadership of the African market at its annual retreat to usher in the new financial year (FY ’16) which held in the company’s premises in April. This is coming just as the organization recorded another milestone, with Friday May 15th marking its 16th year of operations as a prime ICT distributor on the continent.
In a release made available to the press, TD announced that the retreat which provided an opportunity for the company to take stock of its performance and growth indices for the last financial year (FY ’15) was a huge success, with the significant performance figures declared showing an upward trajectory, while putting the company on a sound footing to take a larger share of the market in the new financial year.
While TD’s mainstream business saw a healthy return in its sales revenue, the other arms of the business also put in a strong showing in the just-ended financial year, with TD Solutions impressive book balance complimenting TD Mobile’s pre-dominance in the smartphone sector – indicative of the latter’s growing presence in the market and newly signed partnerships with a plethora of smart phone brands such as Lenovo, Techno, Infinix, Injoo, Wiko, Yezz just to mention a few.
In addition to the ambition of taking a larger share of the market in the financial year, the retreat witnessed the unveiling of strategies targeted at ensuring better value delivery to solution providers, resellers and end-users while building a more rewarding relationship with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and enterprise partners.
“We have come a long way especially as the pioneer in the field. Sixteen years of sound industry experience and excellent operations are just a few factors which sets TD apart in the market place. This is why this new financial year is a key one for us. Our main focus this year is to position the business more strategically as the market leader in the field,” said Mrs. Chioma Chimere, Managing Director of Technology Distributions.
“Apart from empowering more start-ups in the field, the run rate business and our relationships with partners, OEMs and solutions providers will be key. Internally, we have also done a rigorous review of our entire operations for better output in the new financial year. We have recruited more capable hands in key areas of the business and also diversified the TD Solutions arm into the Volume and Value segments as part of our strategies to take control of the market place.”
It is recalled that TD recently signed a landmark partnership agreement with global data storage and IT giants EMC in a strategic alliance which is expected to further extend the frontiers of access to cutting edge technology for end-users in the contemporary business environment while positively enhancing the profile of technology distribution and penetration on the continent.
With branches in major cities coupled with expansion into other African capitals, TD has forged a reputation for being the prime ICT distributor in the West African sub-region. Backed by its status as the pioneer manufacturer-accredited local distributor for the sub-region, TD has successfully represented a number of globally renowned brands which has helped maintain its position as the market leader.
