Global technology solutions provider Arrow Electronics has been awarded the Frontier Distributor designation from Microsoft as part of its AI Cloud Partner Program. The designation recognises distributors that meet Microsoft's criteria for supporting channel partners through scalability, readiness, and execution.
The designation indicates that Arrow has demonstrated operational capabilities in supporting channel partners and helping them deliver customer outcomes.
Arrow Electronics supports channel partners and customers through its ArrowSphere platform and regional teams across EMEA and North America. The company provides infrastructure, programs, and services designed to help partners use Microsoft technologies.
In November 2025, Arrow was also named Microsoft 2025 Distribution Partner of the Year. Microsoft cited Arrow's ArrowSphere AI offerings, including the ArrowSphere Assistant, as part of that recognition. The Frontier Distributor designation expands Arrow's role in supporting channel partners as they build, deploy, and scale Microsoft cloud and AI solutions across different industries and markets.
Sophie Daval, director hyperscalers, global ArrowSphere at Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business, said, “Microsoft’s Frontier Distributor designation reflects the investments we continue to make in cloud, AI, and technical enablement across our channel ecosystem. Following our recognition as Microsoft’s 2025 Distribution Partner of the Year, this designation further reinforces our ability to help channel partners simplify cloud adoption, support AI deployments, and build scalable services around Microsoft technologies.”
Microsoft said the designation recognises distributors with expertise in supporting partners as they develop and deliver cloud solutions. The recognition highlights Arrow’s role in providing resources and support to channel partners working with Microsoft cloud and AI technologies.
