BULLETIN
DMSL seeking new BaPs
partners
The broadband and hosted voice services
distributor is seeking more resellers to
join its Broadband and Phones (BaPs)
programme, which provides them with a
dedicated comparison site for broadband
and hosted voice services.
The company has signed 50 partners up since
launching the initiative in March, but now wants
more to come on board as momentum starts to
build. “We’ve had a great response and we are
starting to see some good sales coming through,
but we still want more resellers to sign up,” said
Managing Director John Carter.
Exertis extends
professional services
portfolio
Exertis has launched Exertis Monitor, an
additional post-sales service that provides
a basic level of monitoring on any vendors’
solutions across the entire IT infrastructure.
The service will be included within its
ISO27001 accredited professional services
portfolio.
Resellers can now take advantage of device
monitoring on switches, servers, virtual hosts,
storage and UPS. Outside of these core areas,
any other IP enabled device can be monitored to
provide, at a minimum, availability reports. Exertis
Monitor provides availability monitoring and
reporting with a notification process on outages or
performance issues.
New-look website
checkthatcompany.co.uk, the provider
of business credit reports has launched
a new-look website with a simplified
set of payment options that will make it
even easier for businesses to check the
credit-worthiness of new and prospective
customers.
The restyled website is designed to be
welcoming, friendly and easy to use. A new
time-based pricing model that gives users
unlimited access to reports has been introduced
and, for a limited period, discounted offers are
available.
The service is designed to make it easy
and affordable, even for small firms, to check
whether they are at risk from customers or
suppliers. It gives them access to the information
they need about businesses and individuals and
thus enables better decision-making and lowers
the risk of bad debt. In addition, with the new
Risk Tracker feature, users can follow firms and
receive email updates whenever any details on
those businesses change or new information
becomes available.

Entanet staff complete Tough Mudder
A team of 22 staff from Telford-based Entanet completed the Tough Mudder Half Midlands
challenge, raising valuable funds for the stillbirth and neonatal death charity Sands.
The Entanet team
comprised a mix of men
and women from various
departments within
the company, including
two who completed the
challenging run dressed
as Tyrannosaurus Rex
dinosaurs.
The Entanet team is
still accepting donations
on its Just Giving web
page and is hoping to
reach its £6,000 target
for the charity. To help hit
the target staff have been
running a number of other

and more.
Mentori programme to
help partners accelerate
growth
Azlan Technology Solutions, Tech Data
Europe’s specialist brand for value-added
distribution of enterprise networking,
server, storage and software solutions,
is launching a programme to support
partners in transforming to solutions,
services and cloud-led business models
that will deliver predictable and profitable
growth.
The distributor has developed the Mentori
Program in response to a growing need amongst
partners for practical advice and pro-active
support on moving from business models
that depend largely on core hardware sales
and software licensing revenues, to ones that
generate recurring managed services and cloud
subscription income and additional revenues
from selling new technologies such as hybrid
infrastructure, converged and composable
systems, mobility and security solutions.
Created in collaboration with established
expert organisations and partners, including
CompTIA, EuroLAN, IDC, TSIA and Service
Leadership, the programme will provide partners
with business development and assessment
resources and exclusive access to expert business
mentors in key areas, such as defining a growth
strategy and blueprint, building a cloud and
services proposition, and developing systems
and processes.
The Entanet Tough Mudder team are aiming to raise at least £6,000 for the
Sands stillbirth and neonatal death charity
