CDW employs a dedicated vendor accreditations coordinator who takes responsibility for monitoring coworkers' technical and vendor sales certifications in line with our manufacturer partner accreditations. The vendor accreditations coordinator is part of our Vendor Alliances department, which comprises vendor managers for all major hardware manufacturers. We have the highest-level reseller partnerships (Platinum or Gold) with these vendors, which are usually contingent on CDW maintaining minimum numbers of accredited resources at all levels from sales, pre-sales, field and systems engineer, to architect. Each of the partner vendors has designated an account manager and systems engineer to CDW, who communicates product developments to our vendor managers, as well as the associated technical training courses available. Some vendors also have partner education managers specializing in training and certification guidance for CDW. The vendor managers then work with the vendor accreditations coordinator to identify the staff impacted by the development and make bookings for training and exams. The vendor accreditations coordinator uses a range of vendor and internal tools to manage technical certifications on an ongoing basis. Vendors' learning management tools give the vendor accreditations coordinator visibility of the following: Summaries and detailed breakdowns of CDW's compliance status against its overall vendor certification (Platinum, Gold, etc.) and any technology specialist certifications Gap analysis charts for training requirements to be quickly identified Information to assist creation of vendor learning plans, which feed into CDW's standard Personal Development Plans Records of individuals' certifications, training, exams, and expiry dates of these for tracking by the vendor accreditations coordinator The vendor accreditations coordinator also uses vendor reports and internal tracking sheets to monitor certifications. These provide gap analysis and qualification road mapping showing individual certification status in various vendor technologies. Bid Number: RFP 121923 Vendor Name: CDW Government LLC
