The strategic initiative is part of TD SYNNEX’s
ongoing commitment to providing top-tier AI solutions and
enablement resources to partners through its Destination AI
program
TD SYNNEX (NYSE:SNX) today announced the launch of their IBM®
watsonx™ Gold 100 program, which aims to recruit 100 TD
SYNNEX partners and equip them to achieve IBM’S Gold-tier partner
status. Gold-tier partners will leverage IBM watsonx opportunities
through a combination of IBM technology and TD SYNNEX value-add
capabilities.
Globally, the number of partners planning to offer AI solutions
jumped 625% in just one year, according to the TD SYNNEX Direction
of Technology Report. But according to IDC, 80% of partners will
not fully capitalize on AI-related growth and development potential
in 2024 because of the inability to identify immediate
opportunities relevant to their business profile.
“When it comes to investment in AI, it can be difficult for
partners to know where to start so we aim to provide not just
solutions, but guidance, training and enablement to help them
navigate the AI revolution successfully. This comprehensive program
is one example of how our Destination AI program can help partners
harness the massive opportunity for growth available through AI,
including the opportunities made possible by the IBM watsonx
platform,” said Sergio Farache, Executive Vice President, Strategy
and Global Technology Business at TD SYNNEX.
The program will help select partners grow and maximize their AI
practice with the IBM watsonx AI and data platform. It will
include:
- Enablement and training to accelerate a partner’s learning
journey in AI to enable full watsonx deployment.
- Business planning and sales acceleration that includes
exclusive access to key IBM resources and TD SYNNEX strategy
development and account planning.
- Marketing and demand generation to help leverage IBM partner
assets, a robust use case library, and TD SYNNEX strategic
marketing consulting.
- Expert services and pre-sales support including dedicated TD
SYNNEX watsonx teams, and access to expert IBM technical
resources.
- Demos including Center of Excellence resources and on-demand
access to IBM learning and demo environments on IBM Cloud.
As part of this collaboration, TD SYNNEX will establish IBM
watsonx Centers of Excellence in four TD SYNNEX locations in North
America and Europe in 2024, where partners will be able to
experience POC watsonx solutions and get personalized enablement
support.
TD SYNNEX customer C4G is an existing IBM partner that intends
to grow its AI practice through IBM watsonx and the TD SYNNEX
program. “C4G is committed to setting a new benchmark in the
development and deployment of ethical AI solutions,” said John
Tanner, CEO & Chief Strategist at C4G Enterprises Inc. “Through
TD SYNNEX’s IBM watsonx Accelerator program we are rapidly
expanding our capabilities and ability to deliver value to our
customers, while never losing sight of the mission. Our partnership
with TD SYNNEX has been a game changer for C4G, and we are thrilled
to have them at our side every step of the way.”
The IBM watsonx platform includes three core components designed
to help businesses scale and accelerate the impact of AI with their
trusted data. The three core components of the platform
(watsonx.ai™, watsonx.data™ and watsonx.governance™) allow
businesses to customize their AI solution based on their needs. IBM
watsonx also includes multiple AI assistants that help to automate
workflows and implement AI across several business and technical
functions (IBM watsonx Assistant™, IBM watsonx Code Assistant™ and
IBM watsonx Orchestrate™).
“The key to adoption and success with AI is enabling partners
with fast access to the technology, use cases and hands-on
training,” said David La Rose, general manager, IBM Ecosystem,
Sell. “To better support our mutual clients who are using our
portfolio of AI and hybrid cloud offerings, our collaboration with
TD SYNNEX is providing the resources to prioritize the needs of
growing partners, such as rapid skills transfer, opportunity
planning and ongoing sales and revenue growth support. These tools
can be transformative for a partner’s business trajectory and are
just one example of how the IBM Ecosystem is working to cultivate
growth and AI adoption for all kinds of partners.”
