5-4-3 Innovation Acceleration process allows
partners to rapidly scope, design, produce and test working IoT
prototype devices for their customers
Avnet (NYSE: AVT) today introduced a unique service to jumpstart
partners’ abilities to create Internet of Things (IoT) solutions
for their customers. Available to the channel only through Avnet’s
Technology Solutions business, U.S. and Canada partners will now
have access to relayr’s 5-4-3
Innovation Acceleration process. Partners can use this service to
dramatically shorten their customers’ development time for IoT
solutions, transforming an idea into a functioning IoT prototype in
as little as five weeks.
This service offering from Avnet and relayr helps partners
manage and accelerate their customers’ digital transformation with
end-to-end support in three focused stages:
- Kickstart: Lasting 5 days, a hands-on workshop enables
customers to identify three leading ideas and create an
implementation roadmap for IoT solutions specific to their
enterprise. The workshops can be led by IoT experts from relayr or
certified partners.
- Accelerate: Over 4 weeks, the selected idea from the Kickstart
phase is rapidly developed and tested to create a working
prototype. IoT experts from Avnet and relayr are available to help
partners throughout the prototyping process.
- Traction: Spanning 3 months, the prototype is fully tested,
giving the customer a real-life use case to provide critical
insights for mass production and rollout planning, and accelerate
their time to market.
“relayr’s 5-4-3 Innovation Acceleration process addresses the
greatest challenge many of our partners are facing – how to help
customers initiate an IoT project,” said Colin Blair, vice
president of data analytics and IoT solutions, Avnet Technology
Solutions, Americas. “Our partners will be able to use this service
to fast track IoT solutions – within one business quarter – that
can easily be integrated with their customers’ existing technology
environments. Working together, Avnet and relayr will give partners
the foundation they need to help their customers create IoT
solutions from simple experimentation to full-scale
deployments.”
The 5-4-3 Innovation Acceleration process is now available on
the Avnet Cloud Marketplace. Partners will be able to feature the
service on their own marketplaces, giving them the ability to
bundle it with their own IP and services, and further tailor the
solution to their customers’ unique needs and business
environments. Additionally, partners can use this service in their
own business environments if they are looking to expand into
developing their own custom IP or solutions related to IoT.
“Our new service accelerates the digital transformation process
by providing all the key components for advancing complete IoT
solutions. Avnet has the market know-how and experience to deliver
those solutions with the value demanded by the channel,” said Rick
Caylor, director of business development, North America, relayr.
“As partners and customers transition from the prototypes developed
through the service to mass rollout, they can rely on Avnet’s scale
and technical expertise to help partners and their customers turn
their IoT visions into a reality.”
Avnet’s approach to IoT exemplifies how Avnet is helping
partners excel through specialization while capitalizing on the
high-growth, next-generation technologies that are redefining the
future. In addition to IoT, partners can leverage Avnet’s in-depth
expertise in complementary technology market segments, including
the cloud, cognitive computing, the data center, data analytics,
mobility, security and enterprise networking, and training and
education.
Solutions from relayr have been available through Avnet since
2016, and the cloud-based enterprise middleware platform from
