We’re very grateful for this 2018 recognition. It speaks to our commitment as a 100% channel-first company. At the same time, we’re keeping our eye on the ball and developing end user computing technology to advance new ways of working, using IoT devices.  Doing both is what keeps IGEL front and center!

It’s been a busy past year, putting out new promotions and programs to support our channel partners.  Here are just a few of the winners and results:

• Our lead-generation campaign culminating in the giveaway of a new Tesla P100D. Co-sponsored by AMD and Samsung, the campaign spanned 183 global events, generated 5,700 new evaluation requests, and more than 1,800 product demos!
• A 74% U.S. revenue growth and 589% increase in U.S. software sales
• A new Gold Level IGEL Partner Program tier, to add to our Platinum, Authorized IGEL Partner (AIP) and Reseller tiers.
• A $20K back-end rebate for IGEL Platinum partners that reach $500K in sales, and a $50K rebate when they hit $1M in sales.
• Launch of the IGEL Certified Engineering (ICE) training at the 2018 IGEL DISRUPT End User Computing Forum events held in Germany, Texas and Australia.
• A campaign under way now to give away $120,000 to help IT pros become “IT Ballers” when they save money, improve operations and increase security through IGEL. For more details on the campaign, visit https://www.igel.com/itballer/.

On the IoT front we have announced support for Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, and upgraded the IGEL Universal Desktop-series UD5 and UD6 endpoints with management by the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS). As a result, IT organizations – from healthcare to manufacturing and beyond – are now able to simplify the management of their growing fleets of IoT-connected endpoints.

By 2020 there will be more than 50 billion devices connected to the internet. IGEL is already developing more EUC solutions to support our channel partners’ drive to make IoT a profitable and compelling part of their customer portfolio.

Here’s to a great rest of 2018 and more channel successes!

Desktops from the cloud are the future – who wants to run all that infrastructure in the background and worry about networking, storage and compute resources? Let’s leave that to the cloud folks: Amazon, Azure, Google and IBM are going to be better for any small or medium size business.

How can IGEL help? Well for one thing, wherever you get your desktop you are still going to need something on the desktop that helps you display, run and manage your applications even if they are in the cloud. And guess what? The average business is going to need some help with getting that endpoint configured and most importantly, made secure, and THAT is why I am so delighted that IGEL has been named to the CRN Cloud Partner Program. The 2017 Cloud Partner Program Guide will be featured in the October issue of CRN and can be viewed online at www.crn.com/cloud-ppg.

Small and medium business need solutions and a partner to implement those solutions that fit with their business. Partners like Entisys360, MTM Technologies, Right! Systems

and Bechtle in Europe are helping customers be successful with DaaS. IGEL has helped too, with the UDC for permanently converting older hardware to IGEL OS, with UD Pocket for temporarily repurposing a device, and with the IGEL Cloud Gateway (think no VPN needed) to ensure every device that can access the Internet is now securely manageable.

IGEL and its partners are primed to bring cloud-based VDI to the market. Here’s looking forward to partnering with you for the next generation desktop.
