CLEARWATER, Fla., May 19, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tech Data Corporation (NASDAQ:TECD) today announced a new agreement with Panasonic to offer their rugged and semi-rugged portfolio of mobile products, including Toughpad® tablets and Toughbook® computers, to solution providers in the United States and Latin America through its Tech Data Mobile Solutions & Retail division.

“By adding Panasonic’s mobile solutions to our portfolio, we are further enabling our reseller partners to offer reliable and durable mobile solutions into key vertical markets,” said Tiffany Severance, director of operations, Mobile Solutions & Retail at Tech Data. “Tech Data’s dedicated team of mobile experts provides resellers the right leads, sales support, and key partnerships with complementary hardware, software and services vendors so they can maximize profits and offer complete solutions to their end users.” 

Panasonic’s mobile solutions are geared toward environments where dust, shock, vibrations, water, temperatures, light and height are factors. Panasonic’s Toughpad tablets and Toughbook computers also feature embedded Wi-Fi and optional embedded wireless mobile broadband, delivering the reliable connectivity required by the busy mobile lifestyles of today’s workforce. Through the agreement, Tech Data’s channel of solution providers can now capitalize in key vertical markets such as public safety, healthcare, food service and hospitality, transportation, retail and education.

“As we continue to expand our business-focused solutions into specific vertical markets, we identified Tech Data as a strong partner in the mobility space that will add value to our current solutions,” said Kay Stewart, director of channel and distribution at Panasonic. “Tech Data presents a unique value-add for resellers through its Mobile Solutions & Retail division, providing end-to-end mobile solutions for their businesses. We saw this as a great opportunity to renew our partnership, which had been primarily focused on non-mobility products in recent years.”  

Tech Data’s Mobile Solutions & Retail is focused on driving partner growth in key areas such as enterprise mobile management (EMM), security, cloud-based solutions, and the Internet of Things.
