D&H CANADA OFFERS PRODUCTIVITY-BOOSTING PRODUCTS FOR SMB OFFICES

-The Distributor's Growing Linecard Will Help Resellers Satisfy the SMB's Perpetual Need for Money-Saving Productivity Tools, Bundled into Turn-Key Solutions-

MISSISSAUGA, ONT - September 12, 2013 - D&H Canada, a major North American computer products and consumer electronics distributor, wants to teach its SMB resellers to take a strategic sales stance, offering a roster of products that can save time, money, energy and physical resources for small business environments. The distributor carries a comprehensive list of merchandise that can create efficiencies and decrease total cost of ownership in the SMB office space, which can help increase sales for VARs selling to this market.

D&H Canada is spotlighting a roster of productivity-boosting items at its 2013 Toronto Technology Show on September 12 at the Mississauga Convention Center-including sought-after merchandise to be offered with "Show Special" pricing.

The typical D&H reseller generally sells to local, community-based companies such as real estate offices, healthcare practices and financial companies. This profile is plentiful enough to provide lots of opportunity, but local offices are usually under significant budgetary restrictions.

"D&H Canada has a unique product selection, built to give our reseller the best choices across a variety of categories, so those customers can achieve a competitive edge," said Greg Tobin, general manager at D&H Distributing. "The small business owner has an imperative to increase productivity, conserve space and power, and preserve their budgets. Every dollar counts. D&H Canada gives SMB resellers the tools to appeal to these mandates for their small business end-customers."

D&H carries such items in categories from convertible mobile computing devices, to storage products (many new SMB-scaled models have a cloud-based component), to peripheral items such as monitors, double-display mounts and accessories. Some examples:

Mobile computing:
A redundancy of devices is one of the challenges of a diverse marketplace-and presents an opportunity for SMB business owners to consolidate costs. Top-flight notebook vendors such as Lenovo, HP and Acer have created convertible, hybrid and "slate" computing units that function as both tablets and notebooks. These include the HP EliteBook Revolve, which swivels to convert to a tablet; and the Acer ICONIA slate, a powerful tablet-size computer that clicks into a keyboard and stands up to function as a notebook. These dual-format items save the small business owner from having to invest in multiple units.

Storage:
Multiple cloud storage devices allow companies to store and share data on their own hosted platform, with no fees. These include new D&H partner Connected Data's external "Transporter" drive. These affordable items accommodate large-scale storage without third-party services. WD also offers options for cost-effective, conservative storage devices, such as WD drives with energy-conserving GreenPower technology.

The Mini PC:
The ZOTAC ZBOX ID61 Plus is an Intel Celeron 867 1.3 GHz Dual-Core All-in-One computer with a minimal footprint of 5x5x1.8 inches. This powerful mini saves both physical space and energy. Show special: It is available at a $30 show-day-only discount during the D&H Toronto Show.

Portable monitors:
Lenovo offers a USB-based "travel monitor" that easily connects to an existing laptop for an additional, productivity-enhancing second monitor on the road. Lenovo's ThinkVision mobile monitor delivers a high quality display up to 14 inches.

Accessories:
Logitech is famous for its accessories, and items like its simple, convenient illuminated wireless keyboard (sku # 920004161CDN) is an affordable backlit model.

Display stands:
Atdec's Visidec VFS-DH freestanding double horizontal display stand offers another space-saving strategy for SMB offices, and the double monitor set-up is proven to enhance productivity. Show Special: D&H customers can get a $15 show-day-only discount on this item as well at the distributor's Toronto Technology Show.

Traditional monitors:
Planar's PL2210W widescreen LCD monitor is known for its highly efficient energy rating. Show Special: D&H customers can receive a $32 show discount on this item at the Toronto event.

Audio/video:
Logitech's BCC950 Business ConferenceCam accommodates small group videoconferencing, which can reduce travel costs and downtime while enhancing collaboration. And Casio's Slim Lampless LED portable projector combines laser and LED technology for high brightness that lasts up to 20,000 hours, saving energy at a competitive pricepoint.
