NEW RESEARCH: Insight on Insight

Insight may well be one of the best kept secrets in the UK software and IT services market. Historically a reseller of hardware and software, the last couple of years have seen it evolve to become a notable player in the infrastructure services space, increasingly taking on the role of trusted advisor and end-to-end solutions provider.

Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, Insight Enterprises was founded as Hard Drives International by Tim and Eric Crown in their garage in 1988 with a cash advance from a credit card. Today the company operates in 22 different countries and turns over $5.3bn globally. Its UK subsidiary, Insight Direct, has been run by Emma de Sousa since 2009. In the UK alone, Insight now employs some 650 people and generates revenue of more than £400m annually.

When we met Emma recently she explained how Insight has been evolving ever since it was born in that Arizonan garage, but that the last couple of years have seen an acceleration in the drive to transform. Insight is evolving from its roots as a reseller of hardware and software to become a provider of ‘service-led solutions’.
