In plain English
CDW is the largest technology reseller and solutions provider in North America — it sits between 1,000+ vendors (Microsoft, Apple, Dell, Cisco) and ~250,000 business, government, education and healthcare customers, aggregating, configuring and servicing their hardware, software and cloud. It never makes the technology; it earns a thin margin (~22% gross, ~5% net) on $22.4B of what it moves.
In simple terms
The middleman of enterprise IT
CDW makes nothing. It sits in the middle: on one side 1,000+ vendors (Microsoft, Apple, Dell, Cisco), on the other ~250,000 organizations. It buys, warehouses, configures, finances and services the technology, taking a margin on the whole basket — the classic value-added reseller.
