Partner Spotlight: How These 4 Tech Brokers Made Their Pivot

Technology brokers continue to pivot to stay successful in a competitive market.

For MR2 Solutions, pivoting meant moving away from a VAR model. For ISG, pivoting meant expanding its technology portfolio.

These are some of the major investments partners have made to survive and even thrive in a digital world. In some cases, they weren’t just making the pivot in a digital world, but in a world severely affected by COVID-19.

“The days of selling just on relationships are over. You need to add value. You need to do things that other people aren’t.
