TD Synnex and Siemens are set to collaborate internationally as the two companies partner on distribution.
Combining TD Synnex’s information technology offerings and Siemens’ own infrastructure and automation portfolio, the companies announced their agreement with their eyes on industrial use cases for artificial intelligence.
Together, they plan to meet demand for software and physical AI, according to Siemens.
“With the incredible pace of change driven by AI, bringing IT and OT [operational technology] closer together has never been more important,” said Alastair Borissow, head of global distribution sales at Siemens. “By combining our established and highly capable global OT distribution network with TD Synnex’s complementary strengths in IT distribution, scale and ecosystem we intend to create new opportunities for our entire distribution channel.”
The Oct. 5 joint announcements noted that TD Synnex and Siemens agreed on a “joint framework” that would enable their global partnership. They highlighted Siemens’ technology and TD Synnex’s expertise and customer outcomes.
“IT and OT convergence is creating significant opportunities for partners to connect enterprise technology with the systems that power industries, infrastructure and buildings,” said Cheryl Day, senior vice president, new vendor acquisition and global solutions at TD Synnex. “By combining Siemens’ industrial technology expertise with TD Synnex’s global partner ecosystem, enablement capabilities and value-added services, we can help partners access new markets, develop new skills and address emerging opportunities in areas such as industrial AI, automation, cybersecurity and digital infrastructure.”
“This is about far more than the distribution of technology — it is about connecting the industrial and IT worlds at unprecedented scale — by combining Siemens’ deep industrial technology with TD Synnex’s extraordinary reach across the global IT ecosystem — from hyperscalers and technology providers to thousands of specialist partners,” said Dion Smith, head of global partner ecosystem at Siemens.
