Who's #1?

At least for Axis US, it is evidently CDW:

CDW is not a typical choice for security integrators but they are popular for end users.

Thoughts?

Corporate customers who use their internal staff to install use cdw as already have accounts setup and easy to buy with discounts.

CDW is still 10-15% higher even using our corporate account and discount. We get things from three or four random online stores and go with whichever one is cheapest at the time.

I thought it was always like this. "You can buy it through CDW. Your normal processes can procure that." is a known method to get instant approval from a CIO. This is an example of why selling on hardware margin is an idea who's time has come and gone.

Axis NA head declares in TechCrunch:

"Swedish companies are more fiscally responsible than most — no flashy hotels or first class travel — even for management."

I wonder if he said it during their roaring twenties themed sales event in Cancun Mexico....

It's a known fact that Martin flies coach. On the other-hand, the spoiled American employee wouldn't tolerate such an outrageous idea.
