Avnet Government Solutions will work to improve ’agility’ in the public sector, which notoriously moves through much red tape. Ramey said he hopes to ’make changes quickly in the government space,’ bringing technology up to speed with the most current trends.

’All the changes taking place are completely relevant to the government space as well,’ said Ramey, referencing the Internet of Things and cloud computing.

Avnet promises industry expertise and consulting for solution providers looking to enter the public sector. ’We can be an aggregator and we can actually help them bring their products to market,’ said Ramey.
