Last week, TD SYNNEX empowered partners to grow together and shape tomorrow at its fall CommunitySolv conference in Hollywood, Florida. This year’s fall event had a record-breaking number of attendees, gathering over 350 partners from the U.S. and Canada. Throughout the week, partners took advantage of unique opportunities to learn new ways of doing business and build their network. With engaging keynotes and detailed panels led by channel experts, attendees left with a breadth of fresh ideas to take back to their businesses.
Channel media veterans Rich Freeman, Channelholic, and Joel Zaidspiner, ChannelPro Network, were onsite to catch the latest news from TD SYNNEX experts and partners.
Channelholic: Ecosystems Need Communities
In his article, Freeman dives deeper into a variety of topics from the event with insights from TD SYNNEX experts. From discussing the future of distribution with Reyna Thompson, incoming President, North America, to exploring the findings of the newly released North America Direction of Technology Report, Freeman’s article provides a snapshot of what you missed if you couldn’t make it to Hollywood. Here is a brief excerpt:
Ecosystem building is an especially big priority for TD SYNNEX in AI, cybersecurity, and cloud computing, the three high-growth markets I referenced before. CommunitySolv partners who “dare to go” into AI especially, according to Thompson, are hungry for introductions to appropriate vendors.
“They’re scaling beyond their core in terms of technologies, and so they need us to be that connector,” she says.
ChannelPro Network: More than a Distributor: Executives Share How TD SYNNEX Can Help Drive Efficiency and Revenue Growth for MSPs
Zaidspiner sat down with Calhoun Mckinney, VP, Strategic Business Management, and Kristi Kirby, SVP, North American Communities, to learn more about how MSPs can leverage partnerships with TD SYNNEX.
Looking ahead, TD SYNNEX is committed to advancing MSP capabilities in AI, cloud, and security. McKinney highlights the critical role of hardware in this evolution: “You can’t do AI, IoT, or even cloud without hardware.” The company is doubling down on efforts to close skill gaps and facilitate seamless integration of cutting-edge technologies.
For Kirby, the next phase involves deeper engagement with MSPs to align their pathways with their goals. “We’re helping partners define roadmaps to success, ensuring that the value of their engagement with TD SYNNEX exceeds their expectations.”
