Milestones Achieved  
iValue is the center of the ecosystem, where it connects its channel partners with appropriate technology OEMs in order to either expand the capacity and capabilities of its channel partners or bridge the technological gaps that exist among its channel partners. Ever-evolving customers’ IT Infrastructure coupled with Digital Transformation across Cybersecurity, Multi-cloud/hybrid cloud workload optimization, and/or Tech refresh were some of the key factors that propelled the company’s eagerness to partner with relevant technology OEMs who would complement its customers’ IT needs. 
As the threat landscape evolves and organizations face increasing costs associated with cybersecurity, the challenge of hiring and keeping top-tier cybersecurity talent is one that must be addressed. iValue launched “iAcademy” - an in-house program to continuously nurture and develop talent across sales, presales, and service delivery to address these perennial challenges faced by its channel partners and their customers. 
Today, most of the technology OEMs and channel partners are operating in a leaner / hybrid model and face challenges in finding right facilities for conducting trainings for their sales/technical team apart from training the technical team of their customers. To address this, iValue strengthened its physical footprint by opening a swanky new corporate office in Bangalore in addition to expanding to more prominent locations in Mumbai and Delhi.  
iValue also revamped its website with a globally oriented one to help its partners and customers better understand iValue’s heritage and data management-focused solutions, services, and expertise. Based on this premise, the company introduced a new logo that represents the company’s ethos and visually characterizes its go-to-market (GTM) strategy. 

Building trust among customer 
Being at the center of this ecosystem, trust becomes the key element, and the color “BLUE” represents “trust”. Another important aspect is “simplicity”, in ways of conducting business relationships with ease. Technology is ever evolving and hence, having multiple gradient shades of blue in iValue’s logo signifies the “adoption” to the technological changes of the market. 

Strengthening capabilities through acquisition  
Today, both channel partners and their customers have a perennial challenge in addressing their customers’ requirement around hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure. Primarily due to dearth in skilled resources or retention of resources well versed around multiple technologies. The acquisition strengthens iValue’s capabilities in Hybrid Multi-cloud Services area covering Managed Security services, Managed IT & Infra services, Professional services and sustenance services for iValue’s OEMs. Additionally, channel partners and their customers are eager to deploy white labelled tech stacks that will help them maximize their profit and improve their GTM timelines. iValue wanted to present its clientele across Southeast Asia and SAARC region a bouquet of solutions that can plug these gaps, which is how the decision to acquire ASPL Info Services came in.
