Insight Enterprises Named Intel Innovation Partner of the Year

Insight Enterprises, Intel | May 30, 2022

Intel Innovation Partner
The Fortune 500 solutions integrator, Insight Enterprises, has been named Intel 2022 U.S Partner of the Year for Innovation for its constructive and collaborative relationship with Intel. It helped Intel grow in the cloud space with enterprise clients. The award was announced at the Intel Vision 2022 Conference held from May 10-11 in Dallas. It marked Insight’s third consecutive win in Intel’s partner recognition in the innovation category.

“Businesses must pursue innovation — and they need strategic partners. Insight has helped our clients with workload migrations for decades, starting with data center and evolving to cloud,” said Juan Orlandini, Insight’s chief architect and distinguished engineer.

“Businesses must pursue innovation — and they need strategic partners. Insight has helped our clients with workload migrations for decades, starting with data center and evolving to cloud,” said Juan Orlandini, Insight’s chief architect and distinguished engineer. “We developed proprietary tooling and methodologies to fast-track these journeys and minimize downtime and cost for our clients. Our clients feel empowered because of this; they lean on us to pinpoint the best platform for strategic use cases, so they can meet their top priorities and objectives with confidence. Joining forces with Intel, we’ve optimized further. Clients can now have much deeper visibility, so the right workload is on the right compute. This builds a better groundwork for transformation.”

Insight’s and Intel’s partnership success results from Insight’s proprietary SnapStart discovery engine that maps and catalogs the components of a data center to prepare for IT consolidation, modernization projects or migration. SnapStart assessments zero in on the best-fit compute resources from each cloud service provider based on the specific workloads involved.

Interestingly, at the Intel Vision 2022, Insight Canada was also recognized as Intel’s Canada Partner of the Year for Digital Transformation Go-to-Market. With the help of the Insight Connected Platform, a market-ready, multi-cloud solution that drives scalable and customizable Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications.

At the Intel Channel Partner of the Year awards, companies achieving the highest standard of development, integration, design and technology deployment to speed up growth, innovation and go-to-market strategies are acknowledged and honored.

Insight is a member of the Intel Partner Alliance Program. It tests and evaluates OpenAMT and Secure Device Onboarding software and collaborates with other B2B partners to swiftly create market-ready solutions. Additionally, Insight holds a seat on the Intel IoT Board of Advisors. It helps shape advancements in emerging technologies.

Awin Transforms the Digital Marketing Landscape with Launch of New Partner Ecosystem

Awin Global | September 27, 2023

Today, global affiliate marketing platform Awin announces the launch of its upgraded features, creating a new digital marketing ecosystem that addresses the challenges faced by brands and online publishers worldwide. In an ad landscape dominated by a handful of large tech firms, and with brands demanding more transparency, these upgrades introduce game-changing solutions that empower brands to regain control over their ad spend, create lasting marketing partnerships and generate more revenue. The Challenge: Big Tech’s Dominance of Digital Ad Spend Almost three-quarters of global digital ad spend is currently invested into three main technology platforms, whose market dominance and auction-based models have left businesses struggling with skyrocketing costs and little control over where to invest their money. Similarly, the US Association of National Advertisers’ (ANA) recent study revealed that 23% of brand spend in programmatic is going to waste, highlighting the transparency issues within that space. This wasted spend amounts to at least $20bn, a third more than what is set to be invested globally in the affiliate industry by brands this year. The Solution: Choice, Control, Customization and ROI Awin recognizes the need for an alternative as companies increasingly prioritize their own bottom line and look for media investments they can trust. Its upgraded platform is a direct response to the demand from ecommerce brands for an advertising solution that is both adaptable and transparent, empowering them to achieve their marketing goals in an increasingly competitive environment. The Awin partner ecosystem allows brands to confidently break free from these costly models, offering: Choice: Brands can quickly discover and choose from over 1 million affiliate partners that align with their marketing objectives via Awin’s AI-powered Partner Discovery tool. Control: Brands can easily measure the value and impact of their investments using new in-depth funnel and journey path reports to understand how their customers find them online. And powerful sector benchmarking shows how they stack up against competitors. Customization: Brands can use new datapoints and flexible compensation models to create custom incentives that focus only on the most valuable marketing actions, ensuring cost efficiency. ROI: With their affiliate programs built to drive highly-targeted marketing value, brands can enjoy a $14:1 return on their ad investment when working with Awin. Choice, control, and customization are critical to creating mutually-beneficial and lasting relationships in any business, particularly within digital marketing, said Adam Ross, CEO of Awin. "Awin’s partner ecosystem helps ecommerce brands eliminate industry silos, complex integrations and wasteful spending to create their own advertising ecosystems that easily scale based on individual needs. We’re excited to help customers take back control of their marketing, giving them the freedom to grow their own way." To learn more about Awin’s partner ecosystem, please visit: https://awin.link/partnerecosystem About Awin Two-thirds of digital ad spend currently flows to the three big tech platforms - Google, Meta and Amazon. But their auction-based ad models favor their own bottom line and inflate costs at a time when every single marketing dollar counts. Awin offers a real alternative to big tech and puts advertisers back in control of their own business growth. Using Awin's platform, brands can unlock unlimited marketing opportunities that reach consumers everywhere. Choose which affiliate partners best match marketing objectives. Control costs by defining how these partners are paid. And customize affiliate marketing program using Awin's tech to mirror unique goals, whatever they may be.
