“We keep growing, our channel is strong and we remain ahead of the market,” observed Diego Majdalani, president of Channels across International Markets at Dell.
During the first quarter of FY23, the channel drove 56 per cent of all new and reactivated buyers across APJ with ecosystem order revenue increasing 12 per cent year-on-year.
Within this context, server and storage order revenue reported double-digit year-on-year growth of 28 per cent and 24 per cent respectively, aided by a 12 per cent rise in sales via distribution.
