Ingram Micro Newsroom 2022

With Ingram Micro's new Xvantage digital experience platform -- the most ambitious development project the distributor has ever undertaken -- the company is enabling thousands of solution providers with big data insight they can use to recommend new breakthrough solutions to customers.

The new plaform is the result of 15 months of work and a $550 million investment just to lay the foundation. Ingram Micro is seeking to give its solution providers and vendor partners a dramatic advantage in the market.

Through artificial intelligence and machine learning, Xvantage provides a personalized experience with data insight tailored to each of Ingram Micro's solution providers and their customers. That's on top of the real-time transactional benefits such as up-to-the-minute order status, proactive renewal tracking, product and subscription billing, and customer service capabilities.
