TD SYNNEX, leveraging its existing Destination: AI™ initiative and its focus on being a solutions aggregator and distributor, is well-positioned to market these capabilities, especially with the Equitus.us KGNN extension for IBM Power.
__________________________________________________________________________
TD SYNNEX - IBM could market these capabilities, structured around its core strengths:
1. Positioning as an Enterprise-Ready, Secure, On-Premise AI Solution
The key differentiator for Equitus.us KGNN on IBM Power is its support for on-premise, secure, and high-performance AI, directly competing with cloud-centric SaaS offerings.
Marketing Focus: "Private AI, Uncompromised Performance."
Targeting: Organizations with strict data sovereignty, compliance, or security requirements (e.g., finance, government, healthcare) or those with existing heavy investment in IBM Power infrastructure.
Messaging:
Data Sovereignty: Highlight that the AI agents (Inbound Sales Assistant, GTM Assistant, etc.) and data parsing (DocuGPT) run on-premise on IBM Power and x86 systems, keeping sensitive customer/contract data fully private and within the client's control.
Performance and Cost Efficiency: Emphasize the AI performance advantages of IBM Power10's Matrix Math Accelerator (MMA) for inferencing, suggesting clients can achieve cloud-level AI performance without the recurring, variable costs and latency of a public cloud SaaS model.
Investment Protection: Market the solution as extending the life and capability of existing IBM Power and x86 hardware, easing the transition to next-generation AI (Power 11).
2. Marketing the AI Use Cases as Specialized Business Outcomes
Instead of marketing generic AI, TD SYNNEX should leverage the specific examples provided to demonstrate tangible business value.
| AI Service | Marketing Angle/Value Proposition | Target Persona/Department |
| Inbound Sales Assistant | "Accelerate Lead Qualification and Revenue." Offer a superior, real-time AI front-line that consistently follows qualification protocols and instantly routes the best leads, freeing up human SDRs for high-value engagement. | Sales Leadership, Marketing |
| GTM Assistant | "Intelligent Sales Enablement, Instantly." Market as a productivity tool that drastically cuts down on non-selling time. The "Slack-based companion" emphasizes ease of use, delivering personalized, pre-call insights and product knowledge instantly. | Salespeople, Sales Operations |
| DocuGPT | "Automate Contract Compliance and Risk Management." Focus on the ability to transform unstructured legal data (contracts) into structured, searchable data, providing an immediate risk flag for unusual terms, which is a significant competitive advantage over manual or simpler PDF parsers. | Finance, Legal, Procurement |
| Research and Support Agents | "Elevate Service Quality and Reduce Ticket Volume." Position as a way to resolve routine support tickets instantly and accurately by leveraging the Knowledge Graph Neural Network (KGNN) for deep, context-aware answers, leading to higher customer satisfaction and lower operational costs. | Customer Service/Support Leadership |
3. Partner Enablement and Go-to-Market Strategy
As a distributor, TD SYNNEX's primary customer is its channel partners. The marketing strategy must equip partners for success.
Destination: AI™ Integration: Embed these Equitus/IBM Power solutions as ready-to-deploy solutions within the existing Destination: AI™ framework and the new PartnerFirst portal, providing partners with:
AI Blueprints: Pre-packaged, repeatable deployment guides for the four use cases, focusing on IBM Power-specific setup and integration.
Specialized Training: Offer focused workshops (like the IBM Innovation Studio workshops) on the Equitus KGNN technology, especially emphasizing the competitive "on-premise AI agent" value proposition against cloud-only competitors.
Solution Aggregation: Market the solution not just as software, but as a complete stack: Equitus KGNN Software + IBM Power Hardware + TD SYNNEX Partner Services (Integration, Training, Support). This positions the offering as a full-service alternative to a SaaS subscription.
Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) and Demos: Fund and support partners to run small-scale, high-impact PoCs for end customers, focusing on the speed and accuracy of DocuGPT or the real-time routing of the Inbound Sales Assistant on their existing or new IBM Power infrastructure.
