With data at the heart of business growth, the editors at CRN India sat down with Kevin Purcell, Head of Global Strategic Partnerships at Hitachi Vantara, to discuss opportunities for partners in India, where Hitachi Vantara is seeing an astounding 63 percent year-over-year growth.
Three key takeaways:
- Hitachi Vantara’s drive to understand customers’ and partners’ business requirements and desired outcomes is instrumental to earning industry recognition, most recently from GigaOm for leadership in unstructured data management.
- AI and machine learning, hybrid cloud, and sustainability are huge opportunities as businesses look to increase agility while lowering cost. The opportunities around AI are especially transformative, and Hitachi Vantara is developing 700 AI/ML patents.
- Hitachi Vantara is committed to channel partners globally, and has enhanced the partner portal with improved smart quote tools, deal registration, as well as training to help solution partners win more deals and win them faster.
Hitachi Vantara continues to invest in India’s growth, with more than one-third of employees in the nation.
