SANTA ANA, Calif., July 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Committed to partner
success, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today announced its 2010
System ArchiTECHS Community Invitational. During the event,
which will be held July 14-16 in
Dallas, Ingram Micro will launch
exclusive new business-building programs and present special offers
designed to accelerate member growth.
Themed "Defining the Layers of Success," the three-day event
will bring together more than 125 system builders from across the
U.S. to share best practices, learn more about trends and
opportunities, and identify new ways to grow their businesses. The
event agenda will focus on innovation, collaboration, business
improvement and understanding the impact of new technologies and IT
services. Space is limited for the annual Invitational, with
Registration remaining open only through July 2.
"Now, more than ever, the System ArchiTECHS community is
positioned to deliver new ideas and approaches that will set the
stage for member success both in the short and long term," says
Tom Hogan, Senior Director,
Components Division, Ingram Micro. "With the help of our System
ArchiTECHS council, we've revamped the community to add more value
and brought to bear new business-building solutions that will have
a profitable impact on the business of our members."
The event kicks off with technology demos by key Ingram Micro
manufacturer partners and a keynote address from Ingram Micro North
America's Executive Vice President Paul
Bay. Attendees will also gain first-hand information on the
community's new Tech Support Test Drive Program, which launches
July 14 and provides System
ArchiTECHS members with access to Ingram Micro's world-class,
cross-trained technical support team at no cost for 60 days.
Members who attend the Invitational will get an extra 30 days of
access at no additional charge. This offer, which is valued at more
than US$500, will help system
builders grow their business by teaming with Ingram Micro's highly
skilled technology experts for pre- and post-sales and technical
support.
"We're confident that Tech Support Test Drive will provide
members of the System ArchiTECHS community a great means to
jump-start their business through the second half of the year,"
says Hogan.
System ArchiTECHS is also providing further value by leveraging
advanced business intelligence capabilities to ensure that the most
targeted and highest-performing IT channel partners are taking part
in the community in order to achieve maximum growth potential for
