Item 8.01 Other Events.

Insight Enterprises, Inc. (NASDAQ:NSIT) will expand the inside sales team of its U.S. Operations through an arrangement with an industry leading technology company. This expansion is aligned to Insight’s strategic objective to grow its inside sales team focused on the small to medium business (SMB) and public sector client segments of the U.S. market.

Insight launched an initiative in mid-2015 to transform its sales engagement model in the SMB space looking at all facets of the business including hiring, training, development and compensation as well as sales enablement through digital marketing, web automation and cloud aggregation. As part of this arrangement, Insight will acquire a team of qualified personnel with specialized knowledge in data center solutions that Insight believes will enable it to expand its focus around a growing demand for core infrastructure.

Insight further believes that this arrangement and the additional dedicated resources will enhance Insight’s expertise in the data center, expand its sales coverage in the SMB and public sector markets and provide the potential to accelerate data center solution sales. Insight will be on-boarding new team members over the next few months with more than 200 resources expected to be added by the end of the third quarter.

Insight expects this expansion to be generally neutral to its 2016 earnings performance but provide a foundation for growth in 2017 and beyond.
