Interview

Our goal is to recruit partners that are well-aligned with our software solutions Shibu Paul Regional Sales Director – India, ME and SEA at Array Networks runs us through the company’s channel plans and tells how they are moving ahead with the help of the Channel Partners.

How do you rate the growth of your company last year?

We are glad to announce that in previous year Array added a good number of customers. But honestly speaking unlike 2013, in 2014 we did not bag any million dollar deal. And it affected our company by bringing down our average sales value. But it’s not going to continue this year. Actually last year was neither too bad nor too good. It was somewhere in-between. We are going to make sure that we would satisfy our clients to fullest with our best-in-class products and services this year.

In what ways did the channel help you?

Channel partners play a critical role in supporting our overall strategy. Our goal is to recruit partners that are well-aligned with our software solutions and have considerable vertical market expertise. Channel partners help us understand exactly what the manufacturer offers as a part of its program and the expectations, as a reseller or channel partner, will need to meet and exceed.

Moreover channel partners help us getting visibility in market. Basically, partners programs give the opportunity to promote our products or services. Joining with channel partner program, we are benefitted by receiving product and marketing training, discounts, technical support, lead generation tools etc.

What is your go-to-market strategy in 2015?

How different would it be from 2014?

The forthcoming year 2015 will see strategic changes in order to counter and make up for the shortcomings in 2014. Channels will find a big push plus identifying new solution partners and developing strong pipeline will be our priority. Another major strategic development that we intend on carrying out is identifying Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and partner with them to create joint propositions.

How deeply are you entrenched in the market, especially in tier 2, tier 3 and tier 4 cities?

We have found a strong foothold in the market. Tier 2 cities are of great importance from a sales perspective.

Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities help us in establishing a strong support system.

SHIBU PAUL Regional,Sales Director India ME and SEA Array Networks

Why should your channel partners feel motivated?

Not only are our products specific to the Indian market but we have also been able to provide apt support and strong profit margins to our channel partners. We compete with the global players who have absolutely little focus on the local needs. That is where Array Networks has the competitive edge; we identify the local needs and provide solutions accordingly. We provide more technical and support resources.

Prices of PCs to Rise

by Up to 10 % in 2015 Consumer Behaviour

D

evice vendors will have to raise the prices of PCs to offset the effects of currency devaluation, according to Gartner, Inc. Gartner said prices of PCs in the Eurozone and Japan, in particular, will increase by up to 10 percent during 2015.

"We are currently seeing the sharp appreciation of the dollar against most other currencies reflected in companies' earnings results,"said Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner.

"PC vendors selling to Europe and Japan, where local currencies have fallen up to 20 percent since the start of 2015, have little choice than to raise prices to preserve profits."

In 2015, Gartner estimates that end-user spending in constant dollars* in Western Europe will reach $116 billion, a 4 percent increase over 2014. This increase reflects the expected price increases in local currency.

"Device vendors will mitigate the impact of their declining "dollarized" profits by taking advantage of single-digit-percentage decreases in PC component costs during 2015, and by selling PCs with fewer features to keep prices down," said Mr. Atwal. "However, vendors' margins will fall, even as they shift their shipment focus to the regions least affected by these currency effects."

In mature markets, PC sales are determined by price and, through 2016, Gartner expects that 30 percent of PC consumers will buy down the price curve. Gartner analysts also expect the following behaviors amongst PC consumers: RANJIT ATWAL, research director at Gartner.

• Price-driven consumers (of PCs priced at less than $500) will purchase less expensive PCs with lower specifications to counter price rises. This segment is expected to be 30 percent of the market.

• Value-driven consumers (of PCs priced at $500 to $800) will delay purchases due to rising prices. This segment is expected to be 40 percent of the market.

• Feature-driven consumers (of PCs priced at over $800) will extend lifetimes by 10 percent to compensate for higher prices, and absorb remaining price increases.

This segment is expected to be 30 percent of the market.

In 2015, large businesses will prioritize other IT budgets with currency-driven shortfalls, such as those for software and services, for which they will draw money from the PC budget.

24

1-15 MAY 2015

Business Behavior

In 2015, large businesses will prioritize other IT budgets with currency-driven shortfalls, such as those for software and services, for which they will draw money from the PC budget.

"Large organizations will look to lengthen their PC lifetimes by six months (10 percent) in comparison with 2014, rather than buying less expensive models or removing requirements for key features," said Mr. Atwal. "In addition, purchases of optical drives and optional accessories will disappear."

"While we expect large organizations to cut their PC unit purchases by 20 percent during 2015, due to price rises, small businesses will behave like valuedriven consumers and look to purchase consumer PCs instead," Mr. Atwal concluded.
