Arrow will now support the majority of Broadcom’s software solutions, giving it distribution rights for all but a limited number of Broadcom accounts.

Arrow’s channel partners and customers can benefit from these enterprise, cybersecurity and mainframe software solutions to help them drive successful digital transformations.

This includes providing deep technical support capabilities as well as enhancing the customer experience through accessibility, specialised knowledge, personalised assistance, training programs, and value-added services.
Cedric Doignie, vice president of sales, global new models and services at Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business, said, "Over the last three years, our EMEA teams have had great success with the Symantec portfolio, working with the channel to target and support small and medium businesses. Broadcom’s software solutions set the benchmark for digital transformation initiatives, and the addition of these solutions means a better and more complete software portfolio for entrepreneurial value-added partners who are looking to expand their offer and grow their businesses.”
“Our goal is to deliver best-in-class experiences for customers of all sizes, and we continue to deliver on that with our partners through innovative models, like the Broadcom Accelerate Program,” said Cynthia Loyd, vice president of global commercial & partner sales, Broadcom. “Our distributor partners like Arrow will extend our reach with their local expertise and deep knowledge of Broadcom solutions.
