Ingram Micro Inc. announced it has been named a 2023 ChannelPro SMB All-Star winner for its proprietary and patent-pending digital experience platform Ingram Micro Xvantage.
The ChannelPro SMB All-Stars recognizes a select group of IT hardware, software, and service vendors and distributors whose products, programs, and initiatives have made a significant impact on the SMB channel in the last 12 months. All winners of the SMB All-Stars are determined by the ChannelPro Network editorial team.
ChannelPro SMB recognized Ingram Micro Xvantage™, the distributor’s digital twin, for better enabling channel partners to do more, sell more and grow more. The award notes specifically call out Ingram Micro Xvantage as an “ambitious” platform—offering channel partners “a personalized, AI-infused digital experience” that makes engaging with the distributor “as intuitive an experience as interacting with online consumer services like Netflix and Amazon.”
Ingram Micro channel partners applaud the arrival and continued innovation of Xvantage, citing real-time cost-saving and enhancements to the experience of their teams and their customers:
“Our procurement team can’t say enough good things about Xvantage. It’s changed their day, saving them valuable time and energy,” says Chris Norris, COO, MIS Technology Group.
