What IT Takes to Win: Arrow’s Accelerator Driving Growth [2000].
Speed matters in business. But speed alone won't help you win.
In this panel session, leaders from Arrow and IBM reveal how partners are building AI-ready practices, closing seven-figure deals and growing in months—not years. You'll hear how Arrow Accelerator's four-step framework—LEARN, USE, CREATE —gives you a scalable path from capability to revenue.
No theory. Just strategies you can take back and use.
Featuring Martin Jerome, Arrow's VP of Sales Engineering & Services; Michael Pompey, Arrow's AI Evangelist and former CIO; and Steve Moss, IBM's watsonx GTM Director.
