The company is currently placed as the leading distributor for several vendors in Australia including HP, Cisco, Toshiba etc, and has enjoyed continuous growth despite the current economic climate.
On 20 February 2019, the Board of Directors of the company announced that the company had been appointed as the sole distributor for Lenovo DCG in the New Zealand market. The announcement marks the consolidation of Lenovoâs distribution strategy as they move from two distributors to an exclusive agreement with Dicker Data NZ.
The Chairman and CEO of the company David Dicker said that it is pleasing to see Lenovo demonstrating their confidence in NZ business of DDR with this substantial change in strategy. Moving to an exclusive distribution agreement will enable the company to invest in hiring more resources and to create a unique go to market strategy focused on delivering long-term profitable growth for both the organisations.
The company has decided to implement a model focused on the customer whereby Dicker Data will provide Lenovo DCG with an end-to-end go to market rather than a channel-push strategy, keeping in mind the importance of customers as stated by Nathan Knight, the General Manager, Lenovo DCG, Australia and New Zealand (ANZ). He also mentioned that Lenovo has put both of its distributors through a rigorous process over the last six months and has finally decided to appoint Dicker Data NZ. Lenovo and Dicker together can now bring an end-to-end market proposition to New Zealand, allowing for the best relationship with partners and end users as believed by the General Manager.
