Ultimately, the agreement will ensure that more African businesses have access to Microsoft\u2019s world-suite of technology applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Westcon-Comstor has offices in nine African countries. It is this geographic footprint \u2013 along with the distributor\u2019s technical expertise and data-driven approach \u2013 that led to the expansion of its collaboration with Microsoft to cover the entire continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
