Siemens and TD SYNNEX announced a joint framework to establish a global distribution partnership to help generate new opportunities for technology partners as physical AI emerges and IT/OT convergence accelerates. 

The partnership aims to combine Siemens’ technology and domain expertise with TD SYNNEX’s IT ecosystem, which spans technology providers, solution providers, systems integrators, hyperscalers, independent software vendors and managed service providers to provide a platform to connect and aggregate technologies. 

This partnership is designed to broaden access to technologies spanning industrial automation, software and AI, cybersecurity, intelligent infrastructure and electrification, according to the companies. 

“This is about far more than the distribution of technology - it is about connecting the industrial and IT worlds at unprecedented scale – by combining Siemens’ deep industrial technology with TD SYNNEX’s extraordinary reach across the global IT ecosystem - from hyperscalers and technology providers to thousands of specialist partners,” said Dion Smith, the head of Global Partner Ecosystem at Siemens.

“We aim to create new routes to market, engage new buying centers within existing customers and reach entirely new customers, while accelerating the convergence of IT and OT. Together, we have the opportunity to unlock a trillion-dollar market and make secure industrial digitalization more accessible, scalable and impactful worldwide.”
