TEMPE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Insight Enterprises (NASDAQ: NSIT), the global integrator of Insight Intelligent Technology Solutions™ that maximize the value of IT, held its annual Synergy²² partner summit virtually Monday and Tuesday, gathering 1,100 IT industry experts from about 250 software, hardware and cloud providers. This year’s “Be Ambitious” theme emphasized strategic discussions on equipping organizations with the modern solutions and services needed to fuel their aspirations of evolving business through new digital approaches.

“The last year and a half has been strongly focused on making IT systems more resilient and adaptable. But now we’re starting to see true transformation accelerate as organizations across every industry prioritize how technology will drive long-term changes to what they do,” said Insight President and CEO Ken Lamneck.

“Constraints on IT talent and the global supply chain challenges are driving more of our clients to increase investment in digital transformation,” said Joyce Mullen, Insight North America president. “We devoted this year’s Synergy to collaborating with our partners to address the increased appetite for innovation in cybersecurity, intelligent edge, data and AI, while modernizing their data infrastructures, applications and modern workplace experiences.”
