Westcon Convergence has opened the doors to its LEAP Centre located at the distributor's European HQ in Crawley.
The multi-vendor solutions briefing centre is designed to showcase best in breed UC, collaboration and infrastructure solutions, and takes its name from the watchwords Learn, Experience, Architect and Plan.
The centre brings together Westcon's vendor portfolio and enables the firm to demonstrate how the technologies come together to create integrated solutions.
Other services include demonstrations, proof of concept, formal and informal training, which combined offer a learning experience for both sales and technical staff.
Ioan MacRae, General Manager, UK and Ireland, Westcon Convergence, said: "The LEAP Centre will accelerate and simplify the sales process, and increase partners' creditability by eliminating the difficulties of setting up different demonstrations with a multitude of vendors.
"This non-chargeable service from Westcon adds significant value to the channel community."
Greg Lane, Head of Pre-Sales, Worldstone, is an enthusiastic early proponent of the centre. "We have already had a training session," he stated. "Through the facility we have access to all of Westcon's products and hands-on practical training."
