"As a services-focused organisation with a dedicated and award-winning global services and support infrastructure, Kodak will enable Avnet to provide a comprehensive, single-source service offering covering the majority of our major document scanning brands. Avnet's vendor neutral position remains unchanged. We have taken a great deal of care in the drafting of our agreement with Kodak to ensure that our business partnerships with our other document scanner manufacturers remain both protected and unaltered. Our sales team will remain focused on creating sales opportunities for document scanners regardless of the manufacturer," Hawkins continued.

Kodak also offers service capabilities across a wide range of products, not distributed by Avnet, within the IT sector, and Avnet's channel partners will now be able to extend their portfolio to include these additional services. The ability to deliver an increased choice of service support from Kodak adds increased value to Avnet's channel partners' offering.

"This is an exciting development for Kodak, as it strengthens our existing relationship with Avnet, one of Kodak's leading distributors in EAMER by giving our joint channel partners access to a broader range of Kodak services. Like Avnet, Kodak understands what the channel is trying to achieve, and our goal is to help partners get there faster. Post-sale services help our channel partners maximise their relationship with their most valuable asset, the end user," concluded David Brown, EAMER Business Services Director, Business Solutions and Services Group, Kodak.
