As we approach the milestone of 300 days since DataSolutions began its integration with Climb Channel Solutions, I wanted to take a moment to personally update you on our progress and share exciting news about what’s next. 

On September 3rd, DataSolutions will officially rebrand to Climb Channel Solutions. Rebranding is not easy; there’s never a perfect time, and it makes everyone a bit nervous. But when it’s done right, it’s transformative.  

And that’s exactly what we’ve worked towards in our rebrand from DataSolutions to Climb Channel Solutions. This change has been a long time coming, and we’ve been working diligently behind the scenes to ensure it’s seamless. It’s the right time to move forward into a new era, and we’re all incredibly excited about what’s in store. 

– 

We are immensely proud of the DataSolutions brand we have built over the past two decades in Ireland and the U.K. Our success is a testament to our commitment to our people, and the strong, enduring relationships we have built with you – our valued partners and vendors. These relationships have always been, and will continue to be, the foundation of the work that we do. 

Embracing Change, Staying True to Our Roots 

While our name and look are changing, the essence of DataSolutions remains the same. Over the past 300 days, we have been working behind the scenes to integrate our operations within the Climb Channel Solutions team. You may have noticed some familiar faces taking on expanded roles:  I am now EMEA Marketing Director; Brian Davis is VP Sales UK and Ireland and David Keating is Country Manager Ireland and Group Security Sales Director. Francis O’Haire will continue his role as CTO, and Alan Smyth as Head of Finance in Ireland. These leadership changes are designed to better serve you and to support our continued growth and success. 

Continuing the Traditions You Love 

We know how much you value our events, and we’re excited to announce that they’re here to stay.  We’ve already launched two successful, collaborative events in London this year: the Cloud Partner Forum and the Climb Partner Summit, alongside our hugely popular ‘The Vendor Den’ in Ireland.

Coming up in Q4, you can look forward to our usual Partner Edge events both in Dublin and London – but with Climb, they’ll be bigger and better than ever. And, of course, the Golden Ticket Giveaway, a highlight for many of you, will continue. We’d never dream of taking it away! 

Our Shared Values 

I want to personally thank you for your unwavering support and partnership over the years. As we embark on this new chapter with Climb Channel Solutions, we are thrilled to have you with us. By joining forces with Climb, we are expanding our capabilities and offerings. We are now part of a global team that shares our ethos and drive, ensuring that we can provide even more value to you. 

This seamless integration is driven by our shared values and principles. Climb is committed to people-driven success, believing in the power of the right people to propel our business forward. Our consultative approach remains, focusing on strategic partnerships and aligning closely with your market strategies and end-user engagement. Additionally, we are dedicated to creating uncontested market space for emerging technologies, offering both scale and a personalised approach. 

We’re having a party to celebrate

To mark and celebrate the rebrand and to thank you for your continued support, we’re throwing a classic DataSolutions-style party on September 5th, at The Iveagh Hotel in Dublin. Expect an evening of fun, celebrations, drinks, and great networking opportunities.  

We can’t wait to celebrate this new chapter with you, looking back on over two decades of shared success under the DataSolutions name, and toasting to an even brighter future as Climb Channel Solutions. Thank you for being an essential part of our story. We’re excited about what’s ahead and we’re committed to reaching new heights together
