Arrow Electronics, Inc. announced it has expanded its relationship with Amazon Web Services (AWS), enabling Arrow to globally resell, manage, service, support and bill AWS accounts on behalf of their end customers. The expanded relationship brings together the resources of Arrow and the services of AWS to help customers design, build, deploy and manage devices, applications and solutions at scale.
“Our customers often ask us for help building connected devices and solutions that securely and cost effectively connect to the cloud,” said Dirk Didascalou, vice president of IoT, Amazon Web Services, Inc. “Today, we’re excited to announce this expanded collaboration with Arrow, where the two companies will work together to help our joint customers around the world design, deploy and manage the next generation of secure and cost effective IoT solutions from the edge to the AWS cloud.”
Arrow is working with AWS to support OEM customers building smart IoT devices using AWS IoT Greengrass and FreeRTOS. Consumer, smart building, industrial and medical device customers can quickly and securely connect to AWS services, such as AWS IoT. eInfochips, an Arrow company, will further speed development with its expertise in connected IoT devices. In addition, Arrow is a leading aggregator of enterprise IT solutions and services, and its pre-built, market-validated cloud solutions are designed for channel partners looking to address the evolving needs of customers during their digital transformation. Arrow will leverage its ArrowSphere multi-tier cloud delivery and management platform to accelerate and simplify connection to AWS’ services.
“Our well-established technology line card, substantial install base, edge integration and engineering depth, coupled with AWS’ cloud services, creates a compelling combination of capabilities to serve our ecosystem partners and their customers,” said Kristin Russell, president of Arrow’s enterprise computing solutions business. “This relationship can enable our OEM suppliers and customers, along with our extensive group of channel partners to effectively participate in the provisioning, management and support of cloud solutions, from the device to the edge to the data center, to deliver unique business and process outcomes.”

It’s Only Common Sense: If You’re Not Differentiated, You’re Dead
10/13/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common Sense“Good enough” is not good enough in business. Not anymore. “Good enough” is a death sentence in today’s market. Too many companies hide behind their ISO certificates, ITAR registrations, and shiny badges of compliance as if those are supposed to impress customers, but certifications are table stakes. Everyone has them. If you think that’s your differentiator, you’re already in the grave; you just don’t know it.

Standard of Excellence: Overcoming Service Failures—The Art of the Apology
10/08/2025 | Anaya Vardya -- Column: Standard of ExcellenceNo matter how refined the processes, how seasoned the team, or how sophisticated the technology, mistakes happen in business. A shipment goes out late. A part doesn’t meet spec. A miscommunication causes frustration. It’s the part of customer service that no one likes to talk about, but every company must master how to respond when things go wrong.
It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
