Gov Picks: Flash Storage; Projectors
As summer heats up and the mercury rises, solution providers are seeing sales on the rise, thanks to a few hot products. Sharon O'Connor Ennis, senior director of Business Development at PC Mall Gov, says that in addition to wireless products, which are hot right now, she's also seeing "both product-segment expansion as well as high-velocity sales," in the area of data storage/flash drives and digital-projector products. Ennis points to three products in particular that are having their time in the sun.
