Marketwired
Building on its vertical market expertise, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE:
IM) today announced a new channel partner network dedicated to
meeting the IT business needs of the U.S. healthcare market.
The new Ingram Micro Healthcare Partner
Network is the first and only dedicated network of
healthcare-focused value-added resellers (VARs) and managed service
providers (MSPs) within the IT distribution channel. The new and
specialized partner network leverages the proven infrastructure of
the Ingram Micro Services Network (IMSN) to encourage greater
collaboration among Ingram Micro channel partners and drive greater
sales success within the healthcare market.
"Ingram Micro's new Healthcare Partner Network brings together
the people, technology, solutions and services needed to
effectively collaborate, market, sell to and support the IT
business needs of U.S.-based healthcare organizations such as
hospitals, local doctors' offices and other healthcare-focused
businesses," says Michael Humke, senior director, vertical markets,
Ingram Micro U.S. "Healthcare is a complex and rewarding
marketplace that calls for targeted resources, IT solutions,
services and specialization that channel partners just can't get
from any distributor."
For years, Ingram Micro has enabled its channel partners to
capture the growing sales and services opportunity within the
healthcare vertical. The new Ingram Micro Healthcare Partner
Network is designed to take this enablement to a new level of
efficiency and value.
"The Ingram Micro Healthcare Partner Network will make it that
much easier for us, our vendors and other Ingram Micro solution
providers to quickly identify the go-to healthcare experts within
Ingram Micro's partner base and engage them on new business,
services and partnership opportunities faster and more
efficiently," says Humke.
"Ingram Micro is a great networking partner and a true catalyst
in helping us grow our healthcare practice," says Hugo G. Perez,
managing director, DATACORP in south Florida. "We see tremendous
business value in the strategic relationships and know-how that
Ingram Micro brings to our organization, especially in regard to
healthcare, and look forward to leveraging the connections,
specializations and new business relationships the new Healthcare
Partner Network offers."
Recently, Ingram Micro introduced DATACORP to Integrated Health
Systems, a new Ingram Micro VAR focused on the Healthcare market
and specializing in electronic health record (EHR) software
solutions. The two companies have since collaborated on a number of
new business deals targeting several hospitals in Florida.
"Thanks to Ingram Micro, we were able to get connected with
DATACORP and work together to service their customers' needs in a
very friendly, non-competitive environment," says Monte Ruder, vice
president, Integrated Health Systems in Charlotte, North Carolina.
"In a matter of weeks, we've discussed and uncovered a number of
other business opportunities that DATACORP and Integrated Health
Systems can collaborate on. It's a good example of a
business-building alliance we would not have come across without
Ingram Micro."
Membership in this elite partner network is reserved for
qualified Ingram Micro solution providers in the U.S. who have an
active, experienced healthcare practice. Annual membership fees
will be waived for solution providers and MSPs who are already part
of the IMSN. Solution providers and MSPs who are not active within
the IMSN and qualify to join the Ingram Micro Healthcare Partner
Network will pay an annual membership fee of $300.
