The world is changing rapidly, and the IT services community continues to develop new ways to make those transitions easier and more cost-effective, especially for businesses. This year’s event emphasized how the tech industry is benefitting from ecosystem shifts and how distributors are maximizing ROI for vendors and solution providers. In addition to highlighting how IT distributors help scale new technology sales and adoption, this year’s keynote speakers and session panelists provided unique insight into the future of the industry and changes in buyers’ habits.
Here are a few more takeaways for those who missed the event:
• An Optimistic Yet Cautious Outlook – Noted economist and policy expert Douglas Holtz-Eakin addressed the impact of rapidly shifting financial trends and increasing regulations on the global IT and overall business communities.
• Data and AI Could Energize Refresh Cycles – IDC President Crawford Del Prete shared his insight on the state of the industry, including the highs and lows of the past decade, as well as his outlook for 2024 and beyond.
• Managing, Harnessing and Leveraging Your Data – How can vendors get value from the information they collect or purchase? At Summit NA, IDC’s Eric Prothero moderated a discussion on that topic with panelists Mark Taylor of AMD, Hervé Tardy from Eaton and Craig Powers with IDC.
• Distribution’s Emerging Tech Value Proposition in an AI World – Dave O’Callaghan, Managing Partner of Vation Ventures, moderated a best practices discussion on increasing sales and adoption of AI technologies. Panelists included Mike Arrowsmith of NinjaOne, Dan Campbell of Arrow ECS, and Darren Williams of BlackFog.
