Ingram teams up with Robotic Process Automation (RPA) firm UiPath

Ingram Micro has expanded its relationship with Robotic Process Automation (RPA) outfit UiPath

The move means UiPath’s entire RPA and software portfolio is now available to Ingram Micro’s worldwide channel partners.

For those who came in late, RPA is designed to help organisations increase efficiency, workflow determinism, operation accuracy and regulatory compliance by automating manual tasks. Software-powered robots establish end-to-end automation across the organisation while keeping costs low.

Ingram Micro vice president Sabine Howest said the segment has become one of the organisation’s fastest-growing global practices.

“Robotic process automation is an important component within a company’s digital transformation game plan, and a great sales wedge for channel partners to introduce DX solutions and services into their existing end user customer base.”

“Using AI to automate repeatable, rules-driven processes is a practice companies of all sizes can benefit from and a growth opportunity we’re ready to drive with UiPath through our growing and global Advanced Solutions organisation.”

Ingram Micro began its relationship with UiPath in India in 2018 before expanding to China. The two firms have now expanded across North America and Latin America, as well as EMEA and the rest of the Asia Pacific region.

Using Ingram Micro’s Centres of Excellence, partners selling UiPath can also benefit from shared practices, “follow the sun” support services and global resources, the firm said.

UiPath’s chief revenue officer Thomas Hansen said: “Enterprise automation is a category channel partners cannot ignore, and an investment enterprise organisations are making because of the immediate and measurable return on investment and improvement to the associate experience and the customer experience.”
