Chris McAneny, Arrow’s European Embedded Solutions Group Leader, states: “Training our technical sales and engineering teams on the Microsoft embedded operating systems is a key aspect of expanding our offering beyond components into embedded platforms. In particular, we want to ensure that we can engage with customers to help them not only select the right Microsoft solution but also the complementary silicon and subsystem platforms on the Arrow linecard.”
Microsoft’s Doug Follett, the EMEA Channel Manager for OEM Embedded Sales, adds: “We now plan for the Arrow teams to embark on the Microsoft ‘exam belt’ program, which allows them to progress from green belt to black belt based on demonstrable knowledge and experience.”
