Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE:IM), the world's largest technology
distributor, today announced it has signed a global contract with
networking leader Cisco Systems Inc. that standardizes terms and
conditions across all regions. As Cisco's largest global
distributor, Ingram Micro will now be able to offer its resellers
international access to Cisco products and related services with
consistent terms, processes and support. "Ingram Micro is committed
to helping our vendors and customers grow their businesses, whether
it be selling solutions across the street or across the globe,"
said Ken Bast, vice president, vendor management, Ingram Micro Inc.
"Ingram Micro's new global contract with Cisco allows our resale
partners to take full advantage of business opportunities on a
worldwide scale. Now, our customers will be able to expand into new

quicker product availability, which will ultimately shorten their
sell cycle and positively impact their balance sheets." Through
these new terms, Ingram Micro's reseller partners can take
advantage of Ingram Micro's unparalleled worldwide footprint and

presence. The contract applies to the more than 150 countries in

receive dedicated worldwide Cisco support through the Ingram Micro
Global Order Desk, which will help customers fulfill orders all
over the world. Staffed by a team of knowledgeable specialists, the
Global Order Desk ensures that all parties comply with all legal,
tax and trade requirements that are typical in cross-border
deployments. "Cisco is on the forefront of evolving traditional
business models and programs to support globalization, and of
operating as 'one Cisco,'" said Dave O'Callaghan, vice president
distribution for Cisco. "This new global contract is another
example of how our solid partnership with Ingram Micro can benefit
not only our two companies, but also any solution provider looking
to expand its global footprint." "We've been partnering with Ingram
Micro and Cisco for nearly six years and we're excited about the
possibilities this global contract presents," said Deron Pearson,
president and co-founder of Nexus. "Ingram Micro's global contract
with Cisco helps make it easier to do business in new markets and
tap revenue streams that did not previously exist." To find out
