At the same time, AI/ML Recruitment in North
America outpaces rest of the globe
Findings of a new supplement to the TD SYNNEX (NYSE: SNX) 2023
Direction of Technology Report show that channel partners in North
America are increasingly focused on expanding their high-growth
technology capabilities like artificial intelligence (AI), data
analytics and cybersecurity through both investment and skill
acquisition. Specifically, the number of North American partners
planning to offer AI/ML solutions jumped to 40%, compared to just
14% the year before.
With this backdrop, 77% of North American channel partners are
anticipating at least some revenue increase in 2023. To continue to
grow amid the evolving business landscape, channel partners are
redefining their strategies, with a heightened focus on services,
workforce development, and adaptability, according to the
report.
“This survey is one example of the many investments we make to
help our partners find ways to address the challenges and
opportunities they face,” said Peter Larocque, President, North
America, TD SYNNEX. “Getting a pulse on what partners are focused
on both today and in the next two years allows us to help them take
their business to the next level. We have many capabilities in this
space, including product breadth, services, coverage and solutions.
We want to make sure we always deliver what is needed.”
The second-annual Direction of Technology (DoT) Report is the
result of a survey of more than 550 technology partners – including
resellers, systems integrators, service providers, and MSPs –
across 60+ countries. Findings of the North American supplement
identified five key trends:
1. 37% of partners are now offering AI/ML solutions
and 40% plan to offer within the next two years.
- Networking, cybersecurity, and data analytics are regarded as
key drivers of revenue.
- North American partners also consider data analytics as a
promising investment opportunity, with 46 percent planning to offer
it within two years.
2. 63% of partners cited hiring for business planning
and managed services skills as their top business priorities, as
demand for AI/ML and data analytics skills outpaces global
average.
- Over 50 percent of partners cited AI/ML and
data analytics as skill sets they are currently hiring for.
- Investment in security skills is also of
importance, with nearly 30 percent currently recruiting those
skills.
3. Partners are continuing to shift toward services,
including a nearly 250% jump in sales of product lifecycle services
and 80% increase in resale of packaged services.
- While the sale of hardware remains important, share is shifting
to consumption and lifecycle models.
- The number of partners selling their own IP also increased 40%
from the prior year.
4. 36% of resellers included ESG among their top areas
of expertise needed.
- Over 60% of partners plan to offer ESG and DEI solutions within
the next two years.
- Currently, 39% of partners are investing in DEI metrics and
certifications, showing a shift in focus.
5. Over 60% of partners stated that adapting to
external factors is currently a key challenge.
- 50% stated that increased competition and margin pressures are
top challenges.
- Looking ahead, almost 40% of partners stated that digitally
transforming their company will be a challenge within two
years.
- Also, over a third of partners expect recruitment to be a
challenge in the future.

July 2023 and captured feedback from more than 550 B2B channel
partners from over 60 countries in global regions of North America,
Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), and Asia Pacific and
Japan (APJ). The MSP Special Report, as well as the North American
