I recently stopped by Avnet Technology Solutions’ Phoenix, Arizona headquarters, where I caught up with Gavin Miller, vice president of marketing for the Americas, and Dan Allaby, director of cloud offerings to discuss some of the latest happenings at the distributor.

Topics of discussion include:

• the recent launches including the Avnet Cloud Marketplace and Avnet Knowledge Network;
• the distributor’s new uRenew platform to help solutions get the most out of renewal opportunities;
• its new CenterPoint facility in Ohio, and what it has to offer solution providers;
• recent awards in the Canadian market;
• the distributor’s cloud business, including a new and unique partnership around IBM Connections Cloud communications software; and
• thoughts on where the distributor’s business is heading for the rest of the year.
