Hitachi Vantara launched its inaugural Partner Advisory Board for India and the SAARC region at its annual summit for channel partners, distributors, and alliances. The Partner Advisory Board serves as a platform for Hitachi Vantara to regularly convene with its partners, exchange industry best practices and actively listen to partner feedback, with the goal of fostering continuous improvement and excellence in the partner programs.

Held from July 10 to 12 in Jaipur, the three-day summit themed “Partnership Beyond Boundaries” brought together close to 100 partners across India and the SAARC region to celebrate their role in driving revenue growth and unlocking business value for mutual customers with Hitachi Vantara over the last financial year.
