Restricting any partner from entering any industry is unlawful. By this thinking all business man must do the business what their forefathers were doing. Appointment of partners are done by all the companies are on the basis of their experience in doing business and vision match for going forward in a business.

I agree with Mr.Kapil & Akshay, TAIT is acting only because of few vested interests. The retail partners/dealers are not affected by the fact whether the stocks are supplied by a IT background or another background distributer, as long as he has a sound distribution background and genuinely passes on the schemes, prices and timely delivers. Is the move by TAIT legally allowed ? Who will be losing the sales on this boycott as customers would buy the HP product from any of the nearest availabe source. Market feedback is that T3 partners are happy with the new distribution setup.

Dell , Ingram and Others are instigating this all. We as RD's of hp are very very happy and profitability has really improved. And this is the pain to Union members most of whom are retraders.

TAIT is being driven by Paltry motives. Most of the directors are eying T1 and T2 positions. Has anybody asked a normal retailer ? He has a fixed price, a fized RD to solve all his issues ? Middlemen are not allowed in this business and hence these middlemen TAIT netas are creating issues for a good move, and they will fail for sure.

This is really a wise move by HP. After leeching the IT partners all these years, it has moved on to Telecom Partners to drain their sap. Telecom partners! Beware of HP and alert. IT Partners! It is time, we did introspection and stop patronizing HP and their products/solutions.

We welcome the move by TAIT. HP India has failed in taking IT channel into confidence and like other vendors should have presented the changed requirements to IT partners first. If the IT partners did not rise up to its new expectations then HP could have moved out of IT Channel. This misadventure by HP India is straining the vendor-channel relationship which is the order of the day whenever an executive handling the channels change. Channels need to get clear long term strategy from vendors and not to waste their time with dynamically(sic) changing vendors.
