Reflecting on IT channel success, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM)
today announced the winners of its 2012 Smart Partner awards.
The annual accolades were presented to 16 of the distributor's
top-performing IT vendor partners in the U.S. during the 2013
Ingram Micro Experience marketing services kickoff, which took
place earlier this month at the Performing Arts Center in Cerritos,
Calif.
"The 2012 Smart Partner awards recognize those technology
manufacturers and vendor partners who embraced the opportunity to
do business differently. Each of these winners utilized outside of
the box thinking and unique strategies to successfully team with
Ingram Micro and enable our channel partners to grow their
businesses and maximize their IT sales and services potential,"
says Jennifer Anaya, vice president of marketing for Ingram Micro
North America and executive host of the 2013 Ingram Micro
Experience.
This year's prestigious Most Valuable Player (MVP) award was
presented to Juniper Networks. The Marketing Advantage Program
(MAP) award went to emerging cloud vendor Veeam. Additional 2012
Ingram Micro Smart Partner award winners included:

A major contributor to the success of these 16 vendors in 2012
has been Ingram Micro's new divisional structure. Launched in 2010,
Ingram Micro's North American organization accounts for six
specific divisions and 16 complementary business units (BUs), each
of which are designed to generate greater business synergy and
cross-over sales opportunities with -- and for -- Ingram Micro
channel partners.
"Our new structure and approach to the market has allowed us to
be more nimble and engage our vendors in a more personalized and
accountable distribution relationship that clearly aligns with
their goals and the goals of our channel partners," says Paul Bay,
executive vice president, Ingram Micro North America.
"As a result, we are executing with greater precision and
delivering results and exceptional value unrivalled in the market,"
continues Bay. "It's an honor to recognize these 16 vendor partners
for their collaboration, focus and dedication in working with
Ingram Micro, and leveraging our divisions and BUs to ensure our
mutual channel partners will prosper by every measure."
