The merger between Synnex and Tech Data is complete, the companies said Wednesday that TD Synnex is the new combined organization.
I’m not actually sure we really do. There’s a ton of coverage out there in the traditional channel press, using words like “historic”. Um, sure. I don’t think much is different today than yesterday.
I’m using this story to highlight what we don’t care about and why – companies merging and coming together does very little for customers on the day of the acquisition. So what does it mean for them going forward? To that, I look to the financial incentives of the organization, it’s owners, and it’s leaders. In this case, I’m not seeing a change, leading me to believe that again, going forward, more of the same. This isn’t like a private, founder led organization being acquired by a private equity firm looking for return on investment in three years.
So we don’t care. It was the exercise in why we don’t care … that I did care about.
