Industry Leader Announces New Seismic Services and Business Tools
at Annual Managed Services Partner Conference in Dallas DALLAS, May
4 /PRNewswire/ -- Seismic Partner Conference -- Enabling channel
partners to grow their services businesses faster, smarter and more
profitably, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE:IM) today announced a number of
new Seismic services and business tools at the 2009 "Make Your
Mark" Seismic Partner Conference in Dallas. Available exclusively
to Seismic partners in the U.S. and Canada, these four new and
highly anticipated announcements include Seismic Epicenter, Seismic
Business Intelligence (BI) Dashboard, Seismic Global NOC (Network
Operations Center) and Seismic Instant Recovery On Demand by CA.
Each new offering provides a unique business advantage to Seismic
partners and enables them to earn higher margins, deliver enhanced
client value and build a much more collaborative and profitable
managed services practice, without introducing additional
infrastructure and labor expenses. All four new offerings will be
demonstrated during the Seismic "Make Your Mark" Technology Fair.
Seismic Global NOC An outsourced, global monitoring and management
remediation service that allows Seismic partners to
cost-effectively augment or replace their internal infrastructure
and notably improve service levels. Using the Seismic Global NOC,
channel partners can step away from day-to-day remote monitoring
tasks and focus their efforts on creating their own branded MSP
practices, pursuing higher-margin services and earning new
business. Seismic Instant Recovery On Demand by CA A highly
sophisticated and powerful hosted business continuity service that
provides small to midsize businesses with uninterrupted access to
critical applications and data during a system failure, unplanned
outage or disaster, with no capital investment. This patented,
hosted platform enables Seismic partners to easily sell and deliver
enterprise-class continuous availability to the SMB market. Seismic
Epicenter A simple, easy-to-use web portal that allows Seismic
partners to access and manage all of their Seismic services from a
single admin interface. Using Seismic Epicenter, channel partners
can manage the admin functions or dashboards of each Seismic
offering from a single portal frame. Additionally, Seismic
Epicenter maintains all of the Seismic education, training, and
business resources available to Seismic partners. Seismic Business
Intelligence Dashboard An innovative new tool that allows Seismic
partners using the Seismic Hosted RMM (remote monitoring and
management) software to analyze their end-user install base along
several major key performance indicators. As a result, Seismic
partners can quickly identify additional product and service
opportunities within their end-user customer base, allowing them to
garner additional product sales, services revenues and profits,
while improving their overall quality of service and delivery time
to customers. "These four offerings will definitely change the game
for our Seismic partners -- giving them a unique business advantage
that not only bodes very well for them, but also their customers,"
says Justin Crotty, vice president, services, Ingram Micro North
America. "One of the greatest values that Seismic brings to the
table for our partners is aggregating services like these that
really do make a difference in their business, now and in the
future." "Seismic has really shaken things up in the managed
services industry -- taking the focus off the technology itself,
and placing the emphasis on the partner's business model," says
Seismic partner and successful MSP Patrick Ciccarelli, CEO of
Varsity Technologies. "Seismic makes it easier for us to build up
our value-add, increase overall profitability, and establish a
stronger go-to-market strategy that keeps us ahead of our
competitors and top of mind with our customers." The Ingram Micro
2009 Seismic Partner Conference, "Make Your Mark," brings together
more than 300 MSPs, leaders and influencers within the IT industry
to engage in candid business discussions, share best practices and
explore high-impact IT service trends. During the two-day
conference, Seismic partners discuss a variety of hot topics around
managed services, as well as emerging trends including the impact
of cloud computing, the business advantages of sustainable IT, and
how companies are using business intelligence and data analytics to
drive more sales and increase customer loyalty. The conference also
offers several business, sales and technical breakouts led by
Seismic partners, as well as members of the Seismic team and
industry influencers. For more information on Ingram Micro Seismic,
