Simplifying success for its channel partners, Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM) and its Public Sector Elite community today kicked off
its 2012 Fall SLED (State Local and Education) Summit in New
Orleans.
Taking place Nov. 14 - 15, the bi-annual training and education
event offers solution providers and managed service providers
(MSPs) a dedicated forum to learn and discuss the business needs,
technology solutions and trends driving demand within the SLED
marketplace. Building on the momentum of Ingram Micro's Public
Sector Elite partner community, the regionally focused SLED Summits
have become business-building events for Ingram Micro channel
partners and sponsoring vendors.
"State, local and education remain high-opportunity markets for
channel partners who have the expertise and lead with solutions
that support teachers, curriculum development and collaborative
classrooms, as well as offer the students secure email and learning
tools, and enable the schools and universities to lower IT costs by
using virtualization and cloud services," says Michael Humke,
executive director, Healthcare, Public Sector and Vertical Markets,
Ingram Micro U.S.
"The competitive gains our channel partners net by actively
participating in our Public Sector Elite community and these
summits contribute greatly to their success," continues Humke. "By
working closely with our vendor partners, we're able to deliver the
right technology to provide best-in-class solutions to this market,
and go the distance to ensure our channel partners know where the
business opportunities are and how to capitalize on them."
Throughout the two-day event, attending channel partners will
network and discuss key market challenges and opportunities, as
well as best practices and growth strategies with peers and Public
Sector market experts from Ingram Micro and select technology
vendors and industry consultants including Adobe, Allied Telesis,
The Center for Digital Education and Government, Cisco, Citrix,
Dancing Elephants, Dell, eInstruction, Ergotron, HP, Knowledge
Information Solutions, Inc., ShoreTel and VARStreet.
In addition, attendees will get a closer look at the core
technologies and solution sets shaping the public sector
marketplace during the event's SLED Solutions Pavilion, and take
part in a $10,000 charity donation to a local food bank sponsored
by Cisco.
"SLED is a complex market that's lined with opportunities and
challenges," says John Fago, senior director, Channel Marketing,
Ingram Micro North America. "Our goal is to simplify success for
our channel partners doing business within the public sector by
providing them with the resources, technology solutions, market
insights and best practices needed to win big, diversify their
portfolios and grow more profitably."
