In addition to logistics, Dicker Data NZ will provide marketing and partner enablement services to drive reach and sales for the NZ partners.

Phil Presnall, Dicker Data NZ general manager of sales and marketing, says, “Aerohive is a perfect fit for our organisation, we have strong networking expertise, and with our focus on cloud. Aerohive also aligns strongly there. We are very excited about the growth opportunity this provides.

Aerohive products will be in stock and ready to ship from early September from Dicker Data New Zealand.
