Focused on advancing cloud solutions and service delivery capabilities, the new agreement refines pathways for Ingram Micro’s channel partners to drive accelerated growth with AWS
LAS VEGAS, December 04, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AWS RE:INVENT 2024—Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: INGM) today announced a multi-year Strategic Collaboration Agreement (SCA) with Amazon Web Services (AWS) designed to drive more business to and through the global IT channel via Ingram Micro’s digital twin Xvantage™. Expanding on its successful global relationship with AWS and new integration whereby partners can now access AWS Marketplace through Ingram Micro Xvantage, the new SCA focuses on two key areas:
-
Enhancing and scaling Ingram Micro’s professional services capabilities. Ingram Micro is leveraging its AWS Migration Competency to extend its cloud assessment and migration capabilities throughout the globe. Additionally, Ingram Micro is amplifying its Advisory and Optimization services, including the AWS Well-Architected Framework, to provide partners with expert guidance to optimize their AWS environments and improve operational efficiency. The agreement also allows Ingram Micro’s services offerings to include generative artificial intelligence (AI), analytics, engineering, and architecture by leveraging AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Redshift, and AWS Glue. These enhancements aim to drive advanced AI model development, robust data warehousing, and seamless extract, transform, and load (ETL) processes.
-
Enabling Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and channel partners to work with Ingram Micro and initiate a Channel Partner Private Offer (CPPO) and extend the offer to the end customer using the combination of the AWS Marketplace and Ingram Micro Xvantage. Ingram Micro will allow ISVs to list offerings at scale through channel partners. In addition, channel partners can build and list their offerings, including their own services offerings, into industry solutions such as Retail, Manufacturing, Education, Healthcare, Finance, and Government. Ingram Micro will assist in creating AWS Marketplace listings to drive co-sell greenfield opportunities.
"AWS and Ingram Micro are successfully executing and expanding our relationship at a global level — helping our channel partners and their customers take advantage of all AWS has to offer," said Jeremiah Jenson, Global Leader, Channel Resell, AWS. "This new agreement will allow us to exceed the expectations of our channel and empower them with the resources and technology needed to move more organizations to the cloud."
