Streamlined government sales with good efficiency but room for distributor service enhancement
Carahsoft is a distributor and reseller, which means we need to give them a margin on the software sold, thereby reducing our revenue. It would be beneficial if Carahsoft enabled their people to deliver the software and similar services, as they currently do not provide these. They are strictly a distributor.
