Arrow Electronics announces launch of new cloud channel programme for EMEA

The Cloud Innovation Factory will enable organisations running software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications 'to expand their solutions'

Arrow Electronics has unveiled a new EMEA cloud channel programme for technology providers, including independent software vendors (ISVs).

The programme, which Arrow has named The Cloud Innovation Factory, will enable organisations running software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications to expand, enhance and scale their solutions in the cloud in line with their individual needs.

"The Cloud Innovation Factory programme creates a huge new channel opportunity for us as a fast-growing ISV to accelerate our growth into new markets and territories by reaching a broader network of complementary partners ready to integrate our Digital Workplace Experience platform and App into their own value propositions," said Spica Technologies CTO, Paul Collins.

The European distributor claims the programme also enables technology providers to build their future through business and strategy planning, onboarding and optimisation of solutions.

Moreover, it offers services Arrow says are designed to help grow their organisations, and a pledge to continuously innovate to adapt to the changing needs of customers looking for SaaS applications in order to scale.

Arrow explained the programme's technology providers fall largely into four categories of organisation, those who: are rapidly scaling and need to demonstrate viability quickly; are more established who want to target new growth areas; want to connect and build with applications that can be integrated into other apps; and are looking to modernise through cloud platforms.
