Rugged Enterprise Mobile Computing Lead
CurrentSektor’s goal for its integrator and ISV customers is to help them put together winning solutions. Michael’s role in this includes; identifying the best technology to meet the end customer’s requirements; providing configurations and technical assistance; building connections between hardware and software partners. Michael’s commitment to having the best technology for his partners resulted in him identifying a new vendor, and building a business case to Sektor leadership which resulted in their recruitment, opening up new solution possibilities for Sektor’s customers. The second element of Michael’s role is to support Sektor’s goal of helping its vendors gain a stronger position in their target markets. He ensures that Sektor has the right partners to take the vendor’s product into those target markets, and works to identify and recruit partners to fill any gaps. Michael helps to provide the partner with technical and sales training on the vendor’s portfolio. For example, he manages the relationship between Sektor and top vendor Zebra, as product manager for their rugged mobile, data capture, label printer, barcode scanner, RFID and wireless solutions. Michael hosts various training sessions for channel partners including hardware integrators, software vendors and solution providers. In February 2016 he organised a 802.11 Wireless WING two day workshop in Sydney and Melbourne. And in May 2016 he organised an Android Development three day workshop in Sydney and Melbourne. Both sessions were well attended with over 40 attendees in each session and feedback was positive. Providing channel training is an ongoing initiative.
