tTalk us through the state of the Lenovo channel market in MEA at present ? Lenovo has a strong track record and commitment as a 100 % ‘ channel first ’ company . In Q3 of our fiscal year ( Oct to Nov ) Lenovo had its highest level of growth since 2019 . We have also enjoyed double-digit growth in every single technology that we offer within Lenovo ’ s Infrastructure Solutions Group ( ISG ). In addition to this , in the last quarter we also achieved our highest ever growth for our storage solutions business unit within ISG . I believe these results not only reflect the opportunities that exist in the market from Digital Transformation , but also show the strength of our channel partners and how they are really the local extension of our Lenovo team .

Lenovo 360 unites IDG , ISG and SSG for the benefit of our partners , so that they can unleash the power of our full portfolio .
