Distributors play a critical role in a hardware-led channel. But as the industry pivots to SaaS, software, cloud and services, channel leaders need to understand the changing value proposition of distribution. Competition to traditional distribution continues to rise, particularly from hyperscaler marketplaces, specialists and non-legacy players. This Hot Data session will analyze the latest financial data from the world’s top technology distributors and assess how business models are being re-architected around marketplaces, data and analytics, integrated solutions, ecosystem orchestration, professional and managed services, and sustainability. Gain insight into what next-generation distributors can bring to channel partners, MSPs and vendors, and who will win out in this paradigm shift.
