NIMANS LIVE 2025
Live and direct Nimans Live 2025 took place recently, showcasing the best of what Nimans and a range of partner organisations has to offer, as well as offering insights into the market now and in the future.
The iconic surrounds of Villa Park, the historic home of Aston Villa FC, provided a suitably grand backdrop for Nimans Live 2025 on May 7, where leading names and selected customers came together to celebrate the best in technology. This, the second Nimans Live event, showcased some of the best of the technology that Nimans and a select band of companies have to offer to a select band of customers. Richard Bovingdon, Sales Director at Nimans, opened the event, giving a brief introduction to the company and the technology solutions on offer. He emphasised that while there have been challenges in the market over the past year, the opportunities in the sector are growing, especially with the developments in technology. He added that, with the range of technology available, partners have the chance to make sales and have an ongoing relationship with customers. As he concluded – the aim should be to “make a customer, not a sale.”
Keynotes The morning keynote was delivered by Nicky Chapman, Microsoft DPS Teams Rooms and Devices lead for UK & Ireland and Benelux. Nicky spoke about accelerating the future, with AI-driven collaboration in Microsoft Teams Rooms. Things like using Copilot in Teams meetings to make action items clearer were just one example. She also mentioned that it isn’t just about using Teams in hybrid workspaces but also the office – and how it can help encourage people back to the office. The afternoon keynote was delivered by Stock in the Channel Market Analyst Wickus Bester, who talked about the platform and the market data it can generate and the importance of that and how it can be used to capture sales trends. By analysing the data, which can be set to go into great depth on specific products, sales trends can be revealed that otherwise might not be, meaning that sellers can tweak their product mix to deliver the best chance of increasing sales.
