Westcoast Ignite – A fresh new vision

By Lee Prior

As the Marketing Manager for all things HPE here at Westcoast I’ve seen a lot of changes over the past 12 months. Acquisitions like Simplivity and Nimble have expanded the HPE offering, and added to an already deep roster that includes Aruba, Synergy, 3Par and Point Next not to mention industry leading Server and Storage products like Gen9/10 and the ever reliable MSA series.

With so much evolution happening so quickly it can be a challenge to keep up and make sure we’re serving up the information our partners need in a relevant and easy to use format, but we’ve been doing our best and think we’ve got a great tool in the shape of our brand new Westcoast Ignite Portal.



As before you can access all the information you need on specific products, gain access to the HPE Partner Ready Portal, take a look at our “How to sell” videos and find out everything you need to know to deliver a great HPE solution to your clients. Whilst it has a lot of the same great content as always however, we’ve changed the layout and navigation to better reflect the needs of today by splitting information into three main areas. Hybrid IT, Mobility & Security and Services and support – why have we done this?

Well for the most part it’s so that you can get the information you need in one place rather than having to search a variety of channels. Hybrid IT for example, enables you to look at solutions for Servers, Storage and Networking in a single place, saving you time and bringing the Hybrid proposition together in a more meaningful sense.



We’ve done the same for Mobility & Security and also for Services and Support so that you access the information and resources you need as simply and effectively as possible.


It also allows us to keep you up to date with everything that’s happening in the world of HPE & Westcoast through our Blog and Twitter feeds, these being linked directly into the site itself.

But mostly we did it because we feel that the Technology Channel has changed, and that you, our partners, need a place where you can get the information you need without fuss or bother in a format and layout that makes sense.




We will be adding sections for the brad new Gen 10 range and Office Connect20 SMB wireless solution imminently so watch this space, but in the meantime we offer up the new Westcoast Ignite Website for your consideration and await your feedback with anticipation. It’s been built for you and we hope you find it useful.
