Insights

Market Research Analyst

The repeat recognition of Ingram Micro as AWS' Global Distributor Partner and BRLink as LATAM Innovation Partner underscores their strategic positioning in cloud services distribution, but has immediate financial impact. While the integration of AWS Marketplace into Xvantage platform could streamline operations and potentially boost future revenues, this awards announcement alone doesn't materially affect current financials or stock valuation.

The partnership with AWS and expanded marketplace integration indicates strong market positioning for long-term growth in cloud services distribution. However, without specific financial metrics or revenue projections, the immediate market impact remains minimal. The recognition primarily serves as a validation of existing business strategy rather than a catalyst for significant stock movement.

Industry leader recognized for the second year in a row as AWS’ Global Distributor Partner of the Year and Innovation Partner of the Year for the LATAM region

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: INGM) is pleased to announce it has earned two 2024 Geography and Global AWS Partner Awards, recognizing leaders around the globe that are playing key roles in helping their customers drive innovation and build solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Ingram Micro’s BRLink was also honored with a repeat win in the Innovation Partner of the Year award category for the LATAM region. This is the third consecutive year Ingram Micro was honored by AWS as a Partner of the Year.

Announced during the Partner Awards Gala at AWS re:Invent 2024, the Geographic and Global AWS Partner Awards recognize a wide range of AWS Partners that have embraced specialization, innovation, and cooperation over the past year.

As a Premier AWS Consulting Partner, Ingram Micro is empowering thousands of channel partners worldwide to innovate, grow, and create more value with AWS. Demonstrating its commitment to removing complexity and easing engagement, Ingram Micro recently announced the integrating of the AWS Marketplace into Ingram Micro’s AI-powered Xvantage digital experience platform.

Award submissions were reviewed by a third-party, Canalys, and selected with special emphasis placed on customer success use cases.
