Quote Tool, a new portal offering designed to facilitate ordering
and pricing for Cisco products sold via the Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE:IM) Reseller Services Portal, powered by MaintenanceNet. Now
available, the Cisco Services Quick Quote Tool streamlines the
sales process for Ingram Micro channel solution providers, saving
time and money by consolidating multiple applications into a single
location for ordering services and providing regional services
pricing. "As services continue to be a key initiative at Ingram
Micro, we are committed to helping our solution providers be more
effective at driving services revenues," said Justin Crotty, vice
president, channel marketing, Ingram Micro North America. "The
Cisco Quick Quote Tool dramatically reduces the cost and time for
our resellers to quote and close SmartNet service contracts,
translating into a clear competitive market advantage for Ingram
Micro and its resellers, as well as overall increases in customer
satisfaction for the end user community." Ingram Micro, the world's
largest technology distributor, released the Reseller Services
Portal in April 2006 to build incremental revenue on sales of HP,
IBM and Cisco products, with future release of additional vendors
soon. Designed by MaintenanceNet to make selling service contracts
easier and more profitable, the Reseller Services Portal is free of
charge to all Ingram Micro customers in the U.S. The web portal

and online access to contract renewal information,
unattached/warranty products and online product registration. "We
are dedicated to helping Ingram Micro improve its maintenance
contract service business through innovative tools that meet the
unique demands of its customers across the channel," said Scott
Herron, CEO for MaintenanceNet. "The Cisco Quick Quote Tool was
developed by listening to the needs of the solutions provider
