Dear members,

As we move into our new fiscal, it’s important that we share with you, Hitachi Vantara’s strategy, the channel objectives for EMEA, and the role of distribution to drive and support growth.

You are a critical part of our go to market and the opportunity that presents itself to drive channel success has never been greater.

During the event, you will hear from subject matter experts at Hitachi Vantara about the market opportunity, the solutions to drive customer success, and the focus on the channel to achieve this. It is also an opportunity for face-to-face discussions with your peers.

This is a ‘by invitation only’ event and I sincerely hope you can join us to share experiences and be ready for the fiscal ahead. Please click on the button below to register.
