Douglas Stewart Company and the Edge

jlmistovich · 05-25-2010, 04:34 PM

Hi,
I just wondered what the advantages will be since Entourage Systems has partnered with the Stewart Douglas Company. Will this allow for new software on the Edge itself, or does this mean it can also be sold at some retail stores as well?
Thanks, Joy

About The Douglas Stewart Company

The Douglas Stewart Company (www.dstewart.com) is the largest distributor and marketer of computer products, consumer electronics and school supplies exclusively serving the education market. The Douglas Stewart Company links more than 185 manufacturers with over 4,500 academic resellers in the United States and Canada. Its subsidiary, Douglas Stewart EDU provides similar services to 23 countries in Europe. Based in Madison, WI and founded in 1950, The Douglas Stewart Company is a privately held, woman-owned business.

Looks to me like marketing to students. I don't think this means the edge will be sold in general retail.

Boris,

You have it mostly right. Douglas Stewart specializes in distribution to educational resellers and value added resellers which include, for instance, thousands of college book stores, many government resellers, and some very large web presences like CDW and, of course CDWG. So as a result of signing up with them, we expect to be in many college book stores soon and in time for Fall. They will also help us get into regular retail outlets. For retail big box stores, we work with manufacturers representatives and we expect to be in those stores soon, too.
