ScanSource

ScanSource this week wrapped up its Virtual Partner Conference. The event attracted at least 1,000 registrants. The conference theme – The Power of Connections – refers to the work that ScanSource does in the channel.

“ScanSource wants to make sure it connects partners with ScanSource employees. So we want to be sure we have the right solutions in place, the right operational expertise, and that we connect partners with the right suppliers to make sure that they are successful,” said Ansley Hoke, senior vice president of marketing.

Additionally, the theme refers to conducting business during a pandemic. ScanSource is helping to navigate partners through this time and to connect them with new and incremental ways to grow.

In keeping with that goal, ScanSource announced that its Cascade automated platform is now available to Cisco customers. Cascade provides what the company says is a seamless quote-to-order process, simplifying and accelerate their SaaS business.

The Cascade cloud platform landed at ScanSource with the acquisition of intY in July 2019.

As a follow-up to its Virtual Partner Conference, ScanSource offers PowerHours. The one-hour thought leadership sessions are scheduled for Nov. 9-11.
