In the spring of 2021, Ingram Micro unveiled its latest Global Center of Excellence in Irvine California, focusing on IoT solutions. Centers of excellence—or COEs—are essential to accelerating our partners route to market. How? By providing a way for us to share industry best practices directly with partners and helping them to Imagine Next.
