PHOTO GALLERY: Avnet's Costigan Mumbai memories
 |
| Michael Costigan |
As seen in CRN -- Michael Costigan director of marketing and business innovation for Avnet Technology Solutions APAC shares his photo album with CRN readers after returning from a four month secondment in India.
Costigan relocated to the country in March to assist the Avnet team there to build a solutions distribution business.
His focus was to create a global marketing and alliance program to the Indian operation.
"After spending 3.5 months living in India, I can say that I am a changed person," said Costigan.
"The original assignment was to go and work with the local Avnet India team and build a solid foundation for our solutions distribution business.
"However, after working and living in India one cannot but help be changed by the country and the people."
Avnet acquired Ontack Solutions in May 2008 and is building a business that will have all the hallmarks of an Avnet solutions distribution operation.
It has 120 staff in India in five cities; Mumbai (head office), Bangalore, Delhi, Pune and Chennai.
"One thing that hits you when you first arrive in India is the enormous amount of people that there are," said Costigan.
"India as we know has well over 1 billion people, but the real fascination is the way in which everybody gets along with each other.

Avnet Develops Virtual Trade Show to Highlight Embedded Solutions
 |
| Larry Fulop |
As seen in TMCnet.com -- Avnet Technology Solutions, a provider of solutions distribution and an operating group of Avnet, a distributor of electronic components, has introduced a virtual trade show to spotlight embedded solutions for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), independent software vendors (ISVs), system builders and system integrators in North America.
This interactive, online venue provides customers with the opportunity to gather information about products and services from embedded suppliers, just as they would at a traditional trade show. However, unlike a traditional trade show, this venue offers open access at any time of the day or night, eliminating the need for costly travel.
"In this tight economy, our customers have asked us to help them find cost-effective and less time-intensive ways to learn about and evaluate the solutions they need without the expense of traveling to trade shows or making multiple supplier visits," said Larry Fulop, vice president and general manager, Embedded Solutions group, Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas. "We've met this need with a single convenient site that allows our customers to explore Avnet's and suppliers' booths from their home or office at their leisure." "Avnet's virtual trade show offers an innovative and entertaining forum for customers to learn about Advantech's embedded ePlatform products and services," said Ween Niu, vice president of sales and marketing at Advantech. "This gives us yet one more way to demonstrate the benefits of our board-level solutions, semi- and fully customized modules, compact embedded computers as well as our application-specific computing platforms for customer-centric solutions." Te virtual trade show uses video, animation and digital effects to give the visitor the experience of a real trade show hall. Visitors to the site can: - View Avnet and supplier information by playing video demonstrations and accessing white papers and brochures available at each booth - View webinars - Take advantage of special promotions - Ask a question or leave a comment Suppliers who currently have booths or kiosks in the virtual trade show include Advantech, Axiomtek, AMD, Dataram, Emerson Network Power, Intel, Microsoft, Supermicro and VIA Embedded.
