VIP’s ‘Accelerate with Microsoft’ microsite
for Resellers Doubles in Size!

VIP Computer Centre Ltd (VIP), the UK’s leading independent distributor of computer components and peripherals today announced the launch of the latest version of the ‘Accelerate with Microsoft’ for system builders and resellers.

First launched at the start of April this year, the site at http://www.vip-computers.com/uk/microsoft has now been updated with almost double the number of pages. As an Authorised Microsoft OEM Distributor, VIP developed the ‘Accelerate with Microsoft’ site as a free advisory service to support retailers and system builders. With every page featuring FAQs, jargon busters and links to further online resources, the site provides Microsoft resellers with a one stop shop resource for buying and selling OEM software.

Along with updated product information and advice for making the most margin, resellers will now find brand new sections offering marketing materials, advice on training, latest news and events, plus the chance to win an Xbox 360 games console. Existing pages have also been updated with additional resources, including Vista sales kits and instructional videos on how to buy and sell the 2007 Office System.

In the new Training section resellers can find out how to become a Microsoft OEM System Builder and sign up for Microsoft approved training sessions. Or for customers requiring help with marketing their products, the new Marketing Materials page features weblinks to download or order a wide range of collateral, including product images, logos, web banners and evaluation software. The News and Events page is updated regularly with pricing deals, training opportunities and new initiatives from Microsoft and VIP. Resellers can now sign up to a monthly newsletter at the site, to be amongst the first to hear about further site updates and the latest news and events.

VIP Product Manager, Alan Patterson, commented: “This updated version of the ‘Accelerate with Microsoft’ website gives VIP’s customers even more resources to help them effectively sell Microsoft’s latest software products and make the most margin. There are now marketing materials and new selling guides that can be downloaded directly from the site, along with the very latest information on training and selling initiatives from Microsoft. We will be continuing to update this site regularly over the coming months to ensure it remains a primary online resource for the Microsoft OEM reseller channel.”

Microsoft UK OEM UK Channel Sales Manager, Tim Schroder, added:
“Microsoft is supporting the “Accelerate with Microsoft” website, a great way for VIP’s customers to get access to sales and marketing tools, which will enable them to maximise revenue opportunities for existing and new Microsoft products such as, Windows Vista and Office 2007.”
