"First looking into SHI it is very easy to see competition. The corporation is so huge and utilizes many products and services some very know such as Apple and Android, I would be excited if a competitor was to carry over and organize or collaborate with the company as a partner with instinct."

It sounds like you've done some research on the company, which is great because now the interviewer knows you're serious about the role and the company. Make sure to also talk about some things that differentiate the company from its competitors. See below for another way you might answer this question:

"I've spent quite a bit of time looking into your company because I'm so interested in this position. From the research I've conducted, I know that SHI provides technology products and services to non-profits and organizations in both the private and public sectors. I'm also aware that some of its competitors include Softchoice, Insight, and CDW Corporation. One thing that differentiates SHI from other companies is the fact that it's the largest minority and woman-owned business in the U.S. I am inspired by this fact and excited to contribute to such an amazing company! I also believe that the company stands out from its competitors because of its strong focuses on innovation, integrity, and collaboration. Finally, I know that the company recognizes the importance of work-life balance, which is also one of my priorities."
