Many channel partners continue to rely on disconnected business systems that require manual processes, custom development, or fragmented integrations to access data and complete everyday tasks. The Ingram Micro XI Hub and MCP Server address these challenges by providing a secure integration layer that securely connects and intelligently integrates data, platforms, and AI assistants in real time. The platform is helping partners save time, gain speed, and enable better customer service by reducing integration friction across the tools and data they use today to manage IT workflows.
Channel partners using the XI Hub and MCP Server report increasing productivity and efficiency. For Matrix Integration, a member of Ingram Micro's Trust X Alliance, the platform is estimated to save its team between 1,000 and 1,500 hours this year while accelerating innovation and automation across its business. Another Trust X Alliance member described the experience as "Easy," noting the value lies not only in the AI capabilities but also in how easily Ingram Micro has integrated them into existing business systems. IT Design Consulting reported cutting quoting process time from hours or days to seconds, using the time saving as a competitive advantage.
To help partners accelerate adoption, Ingram Micro is offering an on-demand training session demonstrating how to build AI-powered solutions using the XI Hub and MCP Server. The platform provides real-time access to business data, secure and scalable deployment with a low barrier to entry, fast plug-and-play integrations, and simplified access to complex APIs through a conversational AI experience.
"The next era of business transformation isn't about connecting more systems—it's about connecting and actioning intelligence. With our XI Hub and MCP Server, we're giving partners a secure, real-time way to bring AI directly into the flow of business. That means less time integrating technology and more time creating value for customers. This is another step toward making Xvantage the intelligent operating layer for the global technology ecosystem," said Sanjib Sahoo, executive vice president and president, Global Platform Group, Ingram Micro.
"Being able to easily connect to Ingram Micro and access our data via a secure MCP Server—without having to invest in and build it ourselves—is a huge strategic and operational advantage for our customers and us. The integration with AI assistants and LLMs is powerful — enabling us to see activity across clients, access data in real time, share intelligence and use AI to further innovate, automate, streamline and integrate our tools at a rapid pace and without any reservations. Just results," said Keith Schuetter, President, Matrix Integration.
"Within a month of using the quoting integration tool, we've cut down the quoting process from hours and even sometimes days to essentially no lift. With Ingram Micro's XI Hub and MCP Server it takes seconds for the quote to be generated where it used to take hours. We are using this time saving as a pitching tool to win new customers over our competitors," said Ryan Evans, CEO and Systems Engineer at IT Design Consulting.
