985: How does a $48B tech distributor reinvent itself as a platform company? In this episode, Peter High speaks with Dham Pathervellai, Chief Technology Officer of Ingram Micro, a global distributor and technology platform connecting 2500+ vendors with 160,000 customers in 200+ countries. Dham unpacks the company's evolution from a traditional distributor to a platform-first enterprise. Dham shares his perspective on building Ingram's digital backbone, leading enterprise architecture, and scaling a global technology team. He also outlines how Ingram's data mesh, intelligent data assistant, and “come as you are” integration strategy are helping to drive customer value, fuel innovation, and power AI transformation.

Frank Arellano, founder and CEO of Revolv3, peels back the curtain on a staggering $600 billion problem plaguing the payments industry that few executives fully understand. False declines - legitimate transactions incorrectly rejected by payment processors - account for a shocking two-thirds of all credit card declines. For subscription-based businesses, this translates into devastating levels of involuntary customer churn.Drawing from his 25 years of experience at companies like Ingram Micro and Experian, Frank explains how Revolv3's intelligent payment optimization platform tackles this challenge head-on. Unlike traditional payment gateways, Revolv3 analyzes over 100 different data elements in every transaction to build trust with issuers and dramatically improve approval rates. The results speak volumes: merchants using Revolv3's platform achieve an average 14% increase in approval rates and nearly 30% growth in total revenue from decline management alone.What sets this conversation apart is Frank's holistic view of the payments ecosystem and its future trajectory. He predicts embedded finance and predictive capabilities will dominate the next few years, with increased focus on tokenization and regulatory compliance over the next decade. For professionals entering the fintech space, Frank offers invaluable advice: understand how money moves throughout the entire ecosystem, rather than focusing on just one aspect.

Dan Foster is a Chief Operating/Revenue Officer, who built and transformed profitable businesses across technology and telecom start-ups as well as industry powerhouses. Companies turn to him to revive struggling businesses by redefining sales, marketing and customer service strategy, scaling infrastructure, and promoting product innovation. In this episode, Dan shares how bundled solutions increase value and close rates. He discusses AI's growing role in B2B sales and procurement. And stresses using data to understand customer needs and justify pricing.   Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn how bundling products and services can enhance perceived value, increase close rates, and prevent price-sensitive buyers from deconstructing your offerings. Gain insights into how AI is transforming the sales landscape, from optimizing product recommendations to procurement teams using AI to negotiate better prices. Understand why pricing should be tied to the customer's business outcomes and how to communicate the true value of your solutions effectively.   "You take the data around a pricing example and you really understand the value from the end user's perspective, so you got to have that empathy back in to say what moves their business. And when we understand what moves their business with a few numbers, then you start to give the underpinning for why value pricing matters." - Dan Foster    Topics Covered: 02:01 - How his early consulting work made him think about value and led him to pricing 03:23 - Asking about typical reactions to pricing presentations 04:24 - Explaining that selling value starts with understanding product-market fit  07:03 - Highlighting the importance of teaching distribution partners how to sell value, using the Home Depot-SolarCity partnership as an example 10:43 - How can ROI calculators be convincing 14:07 - Explaining that while they don't track proven value directly due to lack of data, anecdotal feedback and supplier insights indicate improved close rates for partners 15:09 - How AI is reshaping product offerings, expanding technology advisors' roles, and influencing cost-cutting for innovation 19:10 - Highlighting that while AI may drive procurement efficiencies complex digital transformation solutions still rely on expertise 20:27 - How bundling simplifies purchasing and reinforce the value of an all-in-one solution 24:27 - Dan's best pricing advice   Key Takeaways: "If you want to buy a ton of storage and it's a commodity, we get that. That could go through the marketplace earlier than not. If you want a digital transformation, if you want to change your customer experience, if you want to make your business run faster, if you want business process automation and robotic process automation, that's not going through a dynamic pricing model on a marketplace near-term. Now, can I go out and look at, like, UiPath Licensing versus Automation Anywhere versus whoever Microsoft scooped up next and look at pricing models? The procurement folks are probably smart to do that." - Dan Foster "But the bundled solution specifically is, I think, fundamental because otherwise, when you offer them the menu-based pricing, oftentimes they don't see the full value." - Dan Foster "It [selling value] starts with that product-market fit. We do a lot of enablement of our partners or downstream almost like a two-tier distributor. And in doing that we provide the ability for them to see a higher close rate when they use tools and resources. It alleviates that conversation and it's inherent that there's value pricing there." - Dan Foster "It's critical to think through in a subscription-based model what that value is, because that customer acquisition cost versus the long-term value of a customer, it's a critical ratio to understand when you're thinking through pricing." - Dan Foster   People/Resources Mentioned: Cummins Engine Company: https://www.cumminsenginepart.com/ Unilever: https://www.unilever.com Alcoa: https://www.alcoa.com/global/en/home/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Selling-Value-Deals-Higher-Prices/product-reviews/1737655217/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_show_all_btm?ie=UTF8&reviewerType=all_reviews& SolarCity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SolarCity Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com Azure: https://azure.microsoft.com/ Google: https://www.google.com/?client=safari Lowe's: https://www.lowes.com Sun Power: https://us.sunpower.com Sunrun: https://www.sunrun.com TD Synnex: https://www.tdsynnex.com/na/us/ Ingram Micro: https://www.ingrammicro.com Five9: https://www.five9.com Genesys: https://www.genesys.com/en-sg/ NICE inContact: https://www.nice.com/ Zoom: https://zoom.us Dialpad: incontact.com/content/home.htm ChatGPT: https://chatgpt.com Wall Street Journal: https://www.wsj.com/ Automation Anywhere: https://www.automationanywhere.com Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ph/ UiPath Licensing: https://licensing.uipath.com/ Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/welcome?orig_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F Roku TV: https://www.roku.com/products/roku-tv?srsltid=AfmBOoomwWI9G8ZABYW7gSPFzBHc87xVmartPBXAWzj7GfPfAJQYjTtO Super Bowl: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Bowl Xfinity: https://www.xfinity.com/   Connect with Dan Foster: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jdanfoster/ Email: dfoster@telarus.com   Connect with Mark Stiving: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stiving/ Email: mark@impactpricing.com  

Apple has decided to remove its advanced data protection tool in the United Kingdom following a government request for access to user data. This tool, which provided end-to-end encryption for sensitive items like photos and documents, is now unavailable to new users, and existing users will lose access soon. The move has drawn criticism from privacy advocates who view it as a significant threat to individual privacy and online security. Experts warn that this could set a precedent for other governments to demand similar concessions from tech companies, potentially exposing sensitive data to breaches and overreach.In the tech sector, CEO confidence has surged to its highest level in three years, according to a recent survey. Despite this optimism, many executives express concerns about geopolitical instability and its potential impact on their businesses. Additionally, a notable decline in the percentage of CEOs planning to expand their workforce indicates a cautious approach to investment and growth, even amidst a recovering sentiment. This cautious outlook raises questions about whether increased CEO confidence will translate into higher spending on technology and digital transformation.The cloud computing sector has seen a remarkable increase in merger and acquisition activity, with cloud-related deals totaling $61 billion last year, marking a 221% growth compared to the previous year. This surge in demand for cloud services has contributed to a broader increase in global deal value, despite challenges such as inflation and high interest rates. Notable transactions include Blackstone's acquisition of Airtrunk for $16 billion and IBM's purchase of HashiCorp for $6.4 billion, highlighting the ongoing trend of consolidation in the tech industry.Ingram Micro has merged its Small and Medium Business Alliance and Trust-X Alliance partner communities under the Trust-X Alliance brand, aiming to enhance collaboration and technical expertise among its members. While this merger could provide more resources and support for partners, there are concerns that smaller businesses may feel excluded from the elite program. The consolidation of budgets raises questions about whether this will lead to innovative ideas or simply cost savings for Ingram, emphasizing the need for ongoing observation of the impact on smaller managed service providers. Three things to know today00:00 Big Moves in Tech: CEOs Feel Optimistic, Cloud M&A Hits $61B, and Cybersecurity Jobs Vanish04:44 Apple Removes Encryption in the UK—Is This Just the Beginning?06:13 No More Text Code Logins—Google Moves Gmail to QR-Based Security07:25 Ingram Micro Merges Partner Groups—More Expertise, but at What Cost? Supported by: https://www.huntress.com/mspradio/https://timezest.com/mspradio/  Event: : https://www.nerdiocon.com/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Rental and Repair business models come with the promise of superior circularity. However, it is unclear if a specific company can deliver on this promise. In this episode, Dr. Marianne Kuhlmann, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Circularity, presents insights from the first market report of UNDRESS Circularity. UNDRESS Circularity provides a framework and practical guide to determine the impact of rental and repair business models. It is a collaborative industry project led by Circularity in collaboration with Fraunhofer IZM, Systemiq, and 12 industry partners (Assurant, circulee, Everphone, fixfirst, Foxway, Grover, Ingram Micro, rebuy, Recommerce Group, Reverse Logistics Group, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone), further supported by Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt and Deloitte. This episode is the eleventh in the series PaaS Decoded, 16 conversations about the fine details of product-as-a-service.

The episode starts with the significant impact of generative AI on IT spending, which is projected to exceed $5.3 trillion this year. A notable 35% year-over-year increase in infrastructure spending is attributed to investments in AI, with server sales expected to nearly triple from 2023 to 2028. Gartner analyst John-David Lovelock emphasizes the importance of careful navigation of vendor offerings to ensure a strong return on investment as organizations transition from pilot programs to full-scale AI implementations.The episode also highlights key predictions from Gartner regarding the future of AI in organizations. By 2026, it is anticipated that 20% of companies will utilize AI to streamline their structures, potentially reducing middle management roles significantly. Furthermore, the episode discusses the expected rise of anti-digital policies in response to digital addiction, as well as the growing reliance on AI insights by global boards to inform executive decisions.In addition to AI, the episode touches on the challenges faced by CIOs in achieving expected returns on AI investments. Nearly half of CIOs report that AI has not met their ROI expectations, with some organizations miscalculating costs by up to 1,000%. The discussion includes insights from a recent Forrester survey, which reveals that early adopters of Microsoft 365 Copilot are experiencing significant benefits, including increased revenue and improved employee satisfaction. This data reinforces the idea that active measurement and management of digital initiatives are crucial for success.Finally, the episode examines the current state of major players in the tech industry, including Intel and IBM. Analysts predict that Intel may undergo significant changes due to shifts in technology and market demands, while IBM faces stagnation in its consulting business. The episode concludes with a call for IT leaders to adopt grounded assessments of AI's capabilities and costs to avoid financial setbacks, emphasizing the importance of delivering concrete, value-driven AI solutions rather than vague promises of transformation. Four things to know today00:00 Generative AI Demand Drives 35% Surge in Infrastructure Spend, Gartner Warns of Governance Needs Amid Rapid Adoption04:32 Forrester and Gartner Highlight Key to Digital Success: Active Management Drives Higher ROI in Tech Initiatives 06:54 From AI Cost Miscalculations to Intel's Uncertain Future, Analysts Lay Out IT's Upcoming Shakeups09:32 Ingram Micro's IPO and IBM's Consulting Challenges Reflect New Priorities in Enterprise IT Supported by:  https://mspradio.com/engage/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things across the 5G ecosystem, we review the recent key 5G-related moves made by players advancing 5G readiness consisting Arrcus landing $30 million in new investment including  NVIDIA, T-Mobile launching the Partner Plus channel program at reducing 5G laptop and FWA price barriers, and Ericsson providing perspective on how mobile operators can make progress in offering differentiated connectivity.   Our analytical review drilled down on: Arrcus Lands New Investors Spotlighting NVIDIA Relation. In July, Arrcus announced a significant new investment of $30 million from Prosperity7 Ventures, NVIDIA, Lightspeed, Hitachi Ventures, Liberty Global, Clear Ventures, and General Catalyst. Arrcus' routing and switching platform, Arrcus Connected Edge (or ACE), features a distributed microservices architecture that is flexible, high-performance, fully programmable, and hybrid cloud ready. We assess why Arrcus' ACE networking platform, using the NVIDIA BlueField DPU, can enable customers to efficiently offload, accelerate, and isolate compute-intensive networking applications such as security and traffic engineering. T-Mobile Focuses on Lowering 5G Laptop and FWA Barriers. T-Mobile announcing the launch of Partner Plus, a new channel subsidy program designed to reduce the initial cost of 5G laptops and enterprise-grade 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) equipment from Cradlepoint, part of Ericsson. We examine how T-Mobile's new program can help businesses overcome cost barriers, as it has teamed up with major global distributors Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX alongside the Cradlepoint partnership. This collaboration can enable the immediate and convenient procurement of 5G capabilities, through 5G laptops and 5G FWA solutions, at attractive price points while fulfilling the topmost security concerns of businesses through key offerings such as T-Mobile Secure Access Service Edge, the SIM-based SASE solution that uses International Mobile Subscriber Identity and International Mobile Equipment Identity for clientless authentication. Ericsson Advocates Differentiated Connectivity. Ericsson shares its perspective on how communication service providers (CSPs) currently offer a buffet of dishes at a fixed price, but some dishes are eaten by most consumers while others are barely touched. Buffets usually mean a significant amount of food wastage. As a result, some customers experience disappointment due to the quality of food, while others consume, either more or less than what they have paid for. All in all, this is a ‘best effort' type of restaurant, offering too much at a satisfactory quality. We explore how things are changing as 5G networks enable CSPs to offer the possibility to launch bistro versions of the restaurant, providing a menu to consumers instead. The Ericsson Mobility Report (June 2024) indicates that 5G uptake has increased and that mobile data traffic has increased by 25 percent between 2023 and 2024 providing broader opportunity for CSPs to enable businesses and developers to offer guaranteed and secure mobile connectivity, centered around the value of service differentiation, to fulfill the unique needs of customers.

No one technology vendor has all the products and services that businesses need to operate efficiently and effectively. Even the best vendors with the broadest portfolios have limitations. They need to partner with complementary products and services to extend the value of their applications. This need is at the heart of what makes ecosystems valuable. Through ecosystems vendors and partners are able to combine products into systems. A significant part of this ecosystem is independent software vendors (ISVs), which make the applications that extend the functionality and value of the underlying technology products and platforms. The challenge vendors and partners face is identifying and forming relationships with the right ISVs. In this special episode of Changing Channels, host Larry Walsh speaks with three industry experts – John Dusett of Ingram Micro, Alyssa Fitzpatrick of Elastic, and Alex Lewis of Genesys – about what it takes to create value-generating relationships with ISVs.   Follow us, Like us, and Subscribe!
