Technology distributor Avnet has opened its largest IT services facility worldwide, in the Columbus, Ohio, area, dubbed the CenterPoint Value-Added Services Center.
The 580,000-square-foot facility provides IT lifecycle services, including engineering, integration, installation, logistics, fulfillment, repair, recycling, remarketing, call center and maintenance services.
