Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a technology of the future; it’s here and impacting almost every aspect of our lives and our businesses. As of 2023, 48% of businesses leverage some combination of AI to utilize big data effectively, and those numbers are projected to grow drastically.
As solutions evolve and use cases expand, AI continues to emerge as a transformative technology that impacts how business is conducted across the entire IT ecosystem. TD SYNNEX has been at the forefront of burgeoning technologies, including AI, orchestrating these solutions to meet the specific needs of our partners.
The next phase in that evolution is the launch of Destination AI, a comprehensive and strategic aggregation of the many TD SYNNEX services and resources available to partners, providing them with a competitive AI edge.
Opportunities for Businesses as AI Technologies Grow
AI has become ubiquitous as part of our daily lives, in and out of the office. How often does the voice assistance on your phone set a reminder for you? How many times has Google recommended a search as you’re preparing a presentation? How often has autocorrect saved you from embarrassing typos?
These are all AI-powered solutions being put to work for you. Not to mention, those are just the administrative tasks that can be done thanks to the democratization of AI, making it readily available to anyone with access to the internet. As businesses start to adopt and invest in more robust AI solutions, this technology will continue to evolve and offer exponentially greater resources.
“Industry reports are seeing increased intent to deploy AI technologies, and as that continues to grow, we want to be recognized as the destination for all AI and machine learning opportunities in support of our partner ecosystem. The value that TD SYNNEX can bring to partners is by aggregating solutions across the layers and orchestrating the solution between vendors to support key use cases across vertical industries. We believe that deploying advanced analytics and AI technologies will drive adjacent sales, enable multiple use cases across industries and increase cloud consumption.”
— Lisa McGarvey, VP of Vertical Markets, Alliances and Solution Aggregation at TD SYNNEX
