This relationship as a sponsoring vendor of HTG Peer Groups will enable GreatAmerica to educate technology solution providers on options available to integrate financing programs into their approach to market. “Partnering with HTG gives us the opportunity to learn more about the IT solution provider channel and gain a better understanding of their needs,” said Marty Klees, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Communications & Data Group “A clear understanding of those needs influences the types of products and services we create for our customers to be even more successful.
