National Simplicity Day is celebrated every year on July 12. The unofficial holiday commemorates the life, times and work of American philosopher and proponent of simple living, Henry David Thoreau.

In our fast, ever-increasingly busy lifestyles, National Simplicity Day is the time to take a step back and begin to simplify our lives— especially our professional life!

As a value added distributor, we provide supply chain services and connect best-in-breed technology vendors with thousands of resellers around the globe to simplify the lives of all our partners, so we feel a special affinity for National Simplicity Day.
