Celebrating a Decade in the Channel

August 29, 2017

August 2017 marks 10 years of channelcentral being in business. We are incredibly excited to be celebrating. It has taken a lot of hard work to get to where we are today, made slightly harder by the Global Recession that coincided with our launch!

In August 2007 channelcentral started as a team of just 4 people working out of a spare rooms. A year later, our flagship product, iQuote, was born. Today, iQuote is used around the world in over 60 countries by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc. customers. This configure, price, quote (CPQ) software has helped grow their businesses and provide efficiencies within sales teams in hundreds of Distributors and Resellers.

Off the back of iQuote’s success, channelcentral has been able to develop new CPQ Software services, Product Selectors, B2B Sales Portals, and Smartphone Apps as well as many custom built developments to assist the IT Channel. Our Software has been shortlisted for a few awards along the way too!

Today, channelcentral has 2 UK offices and a presence in the US and Colombia to support it’s ever growing business. With 29 members of staff, many of which have come from the IT Channel and are experts in their field, channelcentral is looking forward to the next 10 years and developing many more software solutions for IT Vendors, Distributors and Resellers.

At our Company Meeting held in August 2017 we reflected on the last 10 years and enjoyed an obligatory cake. A huge Thank You to all of our customers for helping us get this far. We wish we could have saved you some cake!

channelcentral at CompTIA EMEACON16

October 13, 2016

ComptTIA Premier Member LogoAs a Premier Member of CompTIA, channelcentral was invited to attend our first EMEACON this year in London.  The event was held in a great venue and attended by over 400 IT Channel professionals from a host a Managed Service Providers, Vendors and Resellers.

The event is a mix of certification sessions for those looking to build their CPD hours and IT Channel sessions for the wider community and is very well planned out. On Tuesday the event kicked off and we were fortunate enough to attend a lively session by the author Charlie Hutton, who gave some fantastic insight to Online Lead Conversion in his session “How to ‘Legally Murder’ your Competitors Online”. There were also a number of other useful workshops led by different thought leaders.

Also on Tuesday we heard from Tracy Pound, Managing Director of MaximITy who introduced a fantastic initiative to introduce more women into the world of IT. The #MakeTechHerStory campaign was launched and led many of the Professionals in the room to ‘let their hair down’ momentarily by finding innovative ways to wear the campaign bandana!

A great Day 1 was wrapped up with a drinks reception and fantastic Networking Dinner which was enjoyed by all.

CompTIA Stand PictureDay 2 saw the main foyer full of exhibitors who had an incredibly early start to set-up stands to promote their solutions to the rest of the delegates.

channelcentral was fortunate to have a great stand position and be given the opportunity to promote its Configure, Price, Quote (CPQ) Software and other services. It was a busy day with lots of insightful conversations taking place around the event, including more sessions for the Certification Partners and IT Channel that had a chance to expand their knowledge on Cybersecurity, the Internet of Things and the general state of the industry.

Thank you to CompTIA for a great couple of days of Networking. It was a good opportunity for channelcentral to meet new customers and build Channel relationships. The hospitality was superb and we look forward to joining CompTIA at many more events in the future!
