Gartner’s definition of VAR (Value Added Reseller) harkens back to the era of S/38 and AS/400 boxes in the 80s.
"An organization that buys equipment from a vendor at a discount, adds value (such as application software packaged and sold with underlying system software) and remarkets it."
The August issue of Business Solutions magazine shows how much the world has changed. It has articles on today’s VAR offerings:
- Cloud based storage
- Mobile payments and printers
- IP Cameras
- Vertical Bar Code applications
- Point of Sale systems
- Managed Services
