Full-spectrum capabilities for the data center
Avnet provides products and services that streamline data center operations globally, ranging from technology expertise to managing the supply chain to building, testing and blind-shipping it to its point of installation, plus post-sales support.
Partnering with Avnet frees your software company from tangential concerns and distractions and helps you operate more effectively. Global data center capabilities from Avnet span the entire solution lifecycle, from the first spark of inspiration through the full impact of transformation. We can help you identify and procure the right technologies, assemble them into a solution and support them before during and after your purchase.
Simplifying operations while expanding what’s possible
If you’re like most software companies, your business is organized around a core set of capabilities that form the basis for the value-added products and services you offer to your customers. At the same time, you have to provide a broadening array of ancillary, low-value capabilities to support your solution. While these don’t differentiate you from the competition, and probably even distract you from your primary mission, they form the basis for delivering your solution and are therefore critical to your success.
You may need to manage a supply chain, configure hardware and support customers, for example. You may want to deploy your solution to global geographies where you need a physical presence and help with regulatory certifications. Concerns such as those can interfere with your ability to deliver existing solutions and to develop new ones, and at the very least, they can be a drag on efficiency and profitability.
Avnet operates global facilities and offers capabilities that help overcome those limitations. We can provide you with technical consultation to apply the right technology in the right way, manage your supply chain and give you insight into product roadmaps from top-tier suppliers that will improve your strategic planning.
