Ingram Micro Reinforces Commitment to the Channel Education with
Citrix Training Pass Program Distribution Giant Expands Access to
Training Programs with Vouchers for Resellers SANTA ANA, Calif.,
Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building upon its commitment to
offer best-of-breed customer training solutions, Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE:IM), the world's largest technology distributor, today
announced its offering of Citrix Training Pass vouchers to
resellers in the United States. This value-added service enables
Ingram Micro customers to purchase Citrix Training Pass vouchers
that can be redeemed by qualified resellers or end-user customers
for courses at select Citrix Authorized Learning Center(TM) (CALC)
locations. Ingram Micro is currently the only Citrix distributor to
offer Training Pass vouchers for resale. Designed to provide
resellers with expanded access to training programs and flexible
fulfillment options, the Citrix Training Pass program gives
resellers the option of either using the Citrix Training Pass
vouchers to become certified by Citrix, or reselling the vouchers
to their customers to increase services revenue. Through the Citrix
Training Pass program, resellers can also enhance their training
programs without incurring the cost of building their own training
facility. The program further benefits resellers by allowing them
to redeem the Training Pass vouchers at participating CALCs.
"Deployment of Citrix-based server solutions is on the rise, and
with an estimated 120,000 organizations worldwide currently using
the company's access infrastructure solutions, there is a growing
need for quality Citrix training programs like those offered at
Citrix Authorized Learning Centers," said Jodi Honore, vice
president vendor business management, software, Ingram Micro U.S.
"Ingram Micro is pleased to support resellers with expanded access
to Citrix training programs with our offering of Citrix Training
Pass vouchers." Currently, Ingram Micro offers Citrix Training Pass
vouchers for two MetaFrame Presentation Server solutions. The
CTX1222BB (SKU #E76426) training is a four-day workshop for
companies who are operating, or plan to deploy, the Citrix
MetaFrame XP Presentation Server; and the CTX1223AI (SKU #F14463)
training is a five-day workshop for companies who are operating, or
plan to deploy, the Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server v3.0
Administration. The workshops also are core elements of the Citrix
Certified Administrator(TM) (CCA) or Citrix Certified Enterprise
Administrator(TM) (CCEA) certification process. Engineers who have
studied previous MetaFrame Presentation Server platforms (e.g.
WinFrame or MetaFrame Presentation Server 1.8) can now get
certified on the MetaFrame XP Presentation Server Platform. "Citrix
prides itself on working closely with its vast network of partners
to deliver access infrastructure solutions that continue to produce
high levels of satisfaction among our mutual customers, said Steve
Pace, manager, North America education for Citrix Systems. "The
Training Pass program offered by Ingram Micro is a tremendous
win-win for both Citrix distributors and customers, as solution
providers reap the benefits of reselling training vouchers as part
of MetaFrame Presentation Server solutions and end-users are
offered greater and more flexible access to certification
training." Citrix Training Pass vouchers for courses are available
now at a suggested retail price of $2,000 (CTX1222BB) and $2,500
(CTX1223AI) per course. Citrix Solution Advisors, resellers and
