What is the Tech Data IoT Solution Factory

The Tech Data IoT Solution Factory is a program designed to drive the creation and delivery of IoT solutions, drawing from the best of the Tech Data Eco-System of technology suppliers.

The goal is to ensure that we equip the channel community not just information on the art of the possible with IoT, but to make the art of the possible a reality. This is done through taking IoT Concepts and validating these concepts leveraging expertise within our organisation and our partners, testing components and driving referencability.
