Greenville, S.C. – June 15, 2021Intelisys, a ScanSource company, and the nation’s leading provider of technology services and solutions, is on a mission to deliver the tools, data and resources that maximize opportunities for its network of Sales Partners and accelerate their growth. Today, the company announced it has officially launched Intelisys University (“iU”), the all-in-one experience that empowers Sales Partners to build and scale their business.

What Is iU?

iU delivers instant access to hundreds of educational resources, on-demand event replays, brandable digital marketing brochures, and supplier technology resources—all at no cost to the Partner. The platform also offers modern certifications, educational workshops and bite-sized learning resources on trending content.

“The launch of Intelisys University represents a significant milestone in the history of Intelisys,” said Michelle Ruyle, vice president of marketing and digital transformation at Intelisys. “As the pace of digital transformation accelerates, staying competitive requires new strategies and tools. iU delivers a fast, simplified user experience, supporting the partner community with an unmatched level of services not previously seen in the industry.”

Intelisys University offers a variety of benefits to its Partner community. Digital marketing tools and sales enablement help partners amplify their brand, generate new leads and track customer engagement. Ready-made agnostic and supplier provided campaign playbooks make it easy to prospect to new or existing customers. Partners can upskill and train their teams with micro-learning resources on technology, sales skills and more. The platform also offers certification courses, on-demand learning, and curated supplier content.

Why Did Intelisys Create iU?
Being a channel-oriented company, Intelisys understands that providing Partners with the flexibility to scale their business is critical, especially when the market for cloud-based IT services is expected to reach $252B by 2025, according to a recent research article by Analysys Mason. By simplifying what’s complicated and providing timely education, Intelisys Sales Partners are better equipped to sell a comprehensive solution stack to customers.

“The launch of iU represents another significant milestone in our journey as we continuously enable all sides of the channel and earn the right to be the partner of choice,” said Mark Morgan, president at Intelisys. “Service, support, information and education—these core pillars are deeply embedded in our DNA, making us relentless in our pursuit of constant, ‘insight-driven’ growth. By identifying new and expanded opportunities, iU is the platform that will help today’s Partners grow for tomorrow.”

“We want our Partners to see how they can sell more solutions by identifying opportunity in vertical markets and benefit from marketing automation,” continued Morgan. “We’re not complacent. We know what got us here won’t get us to where we’re going and it’s one of the reasons why we’ve invested in iU.”
