Investing in the success of its channel partners, Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM) is pleased to announce its 2011 Spring Systems
ArchiTECHS Invitational, themed "Let Us Take You There: Your
Business. Your Future." The bi-annual Partner Invitational is
taking place this week in Huntington Beach, Calif., at the Hyatt
Regency.
Led by Holly Garcia, co-host and senior director of Components
Business Unit, and Tim Ament, vice president and general manager,
Direct and Consumer Markets for Ingram Micro U.S., the Systems
ArchiTECHS Invitational is the IT channel's only broad-based
distribution event focused exclusively on the business and
technical needs of IT system builders.
"The integration expertise and technical prowess of IT system
builders makes it easier for them to diversify and expand their
solutions portfolios to include technology categories such as
networking, mobility and security, as well as cloud computing and
managed services," says Garcia.
"Throughout this event we will demonstrate why and how system
builders can evolve their businesses to better support the needs of
their existing customers. We'll also look at ways to help them
expand their services to attract new customers," says Garcia. "The
Ingram Micro Components Business Unit is dedicated to enabling our
channel partners to succeed by building on their strengths to
generate new and greater revenue streams."
Guest speakers at this year's Systems ArchiTECHS Invitational
include Ingram Micro's Mario Leone, CIO; Paul Bay, executive vice
president, North America; and Renée Bergeron, vice president of
cloud computing and managed services, North America. Keynote
presenters from Intel, Kingston Technology and Microsoft will also
take main stage. In addition, attendees will participate in
targeted breakouts and presentations focused on business best
practices, market trending and technology.
"Our system builder community is at the heart of today's
technology innovation and well positioned to take the lead when it
comes to integrating new and existing technologies into one unified
architecture," says Ament. "In 2011, we'll see a new, hybrid
generation of system builders emerge in the channel. These channel
partners will have the technical know-how to integrate solutions,
leverage peer-to-peer partnerships to expand their services and
build out new areas of expertise to meet customer needs."
To fuel these efforts, Ingram Micro is providing each attendee
with a Spotme handheld device to use throughout the event. Dubbed
the Swiss Army Knife of interactive meeting tools, Spotme offers
participant management tools and promotes networking and audience
response polling all from a single hand-held device. During the
event, Ingram Micro will poll attendees on varying topics including
the business climate, market trends and new technologies. Results
will be posted to Ingram Micro's Twitter feed:
