Maybe not a giant surprise, at least to people who work in the industry. What IS a surprise (to me, at least) is the incredible pace of growth, even in "global recessionary conditions". So this incredible growth of pace is BEAUTIFUL news for Dorado Software customers, partners and resellers: A continued affirmation of our strategy and commitment to supporting the growth of the planet's global IT mobility infrastructure.
For example: Today, Ingram CEO Greg Spierkel told a crowd of 350 solution providers at the VentureTech Spring Invitational conference in Chicago that Ingram's "focus into 2011 and beyond lies in cloud computing, mobility and data center solutions" (full disclosure: Ingram is a Dorado Software reseller). In addition to the focus on the cloud and mobility, Spierkel said, "Last year the overall IT market through distribution increased 14 percent in North America. Those are numbers we haven't seen in the market in a long time." He also said a corporate refresh of more traditional IT solutions is also helping solution providers and that should continue too - and believes we're about two-thirds through a significant IT purchasing cycle that should last another six months to a year.
