As a Premier AWS Consulting Partner, Ingram Micro is empowering thousands of channel partners worldwide to innovate, grow, and create more value with AWS. Demonstrating its commitment to removing complexity and easing engagement, Ingram Micro recently announced the integrating of the AWS Marketplace into Ingram Micro’s AI-powered Xvantage digital experience platform. The move will help open new markets and further simplify the go-to-market strategies, sales, and management of solutions for its channel partner community.
