Arrow Electronics, Inc. announced it has evolved its ArrowSphere platform into a full-service digital experience for its customers in North America. Based on customer feedback, the expanded ArrowSphere platform provides channel partners and vendors access to Arrow's services through a single interface. Containing new applications specifically requested by channel partners to help them better serve customers, the platform enables solutions and services to be quoted, purchased, fulfilled, deployed and managed with any combination of cloud, hardware, software, and professional services.

The expanded ArrowSphere platform encompasses several new or enhanced applications, such as: ArrowSphere Marketplace, a digital marketplace where solutions from Arrow's entire North America line card can be quoted, purchased and fulfilled. It includes a new "register a deal" function that gets quotes out the door faster. ArrowSphere Deploy, a premium suite of tools that provides advanced assessments of cloud environments and the ability to view end-customers' postures relative to cost, security and compliance controls, offering in-platform remedation and other services to fill the gaps.

ArrowSphere Deploy also automates product deployment into the four primary hyperscaler clouds (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform [GCP, Microsoft Azure and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure [OCI). ArrowSphere Cloud continues to evolve with multiple new dashboards for security, cost optimization, as well as a first-of-its-kind sustainability dashboard, allowing channel partners to measure cloud carbon footprint and gauge how their customers are performing against their green goals. ArrowSphere Connect offers B2B connectivity solutions, such as API and EDI, to enhance the quote-to-cash process and facilitate efficient data sharing between Arrow and its channel partners and vendors.

ArrowSphere MyBusiness streamlines and significantly speeds the quote-to- cash process and provides channel partners with real-time visibility into all their Arrow business and billing. Additional functionality including a renewal management application for hardware maintenance, software support, and subscriptions will become available in late 2024.
