Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest wholesale
technology distributor and a global leader in IT supply-chain,
mobile device lifecycle services and logistics solutions, today
announced electronic service delivery (ESD) for select Microsoft
Office products including Office 2013 and Windows 8 Pro Pack.
The ESD model for Microsoft Office products is available now as
part of Ingram Micro North America's new, proprietary Digital
Locker, an online software activation portal that makes it easy and
secure for channel partners to instantly download and deploy select
Microsoft software to end-users.
"Ingram Micro's new ESD for Microsoft Office products is a great
way for us to deliver even better, same-day customer service to our
clients," says Todd Francis, general manager, Softwaremedia.com, an
Ingram Micro channel partner offering a one-stop service for online
software purchases. "In this new era of electronic software
delivery, there's no waiting for a box to ship, which saves us
thousands of dollars in hard costs, and Ingram Micro's Digital
Locker makes it so easy for us and our customers to manage
licenses. It's great news all around."
For more than two decades, Ingram Micro has been a strategic
global company and Microsoft distribution partner, offering
expertise in Microsoft OEM, retail and licensing solutions to small
and midsize business (SMB) and value-added reseller (VAR) partners
across North America. Through a team of dedicated sales, licensing,
technical and marketing experts, Ingram Micro's Commercial Markets
Division and Microsoft Business Unit enable channel partners to
offer complete solutions, drive profitable sales and achieve
business growth.
"Ingram Micro's Microsoft team is a cut above and we're thrilled
that ESD is now a part of the day-to-day value-add Ingram Micro
brings to our Microsoft business," says Chris McGlasson, CEO,
LANPRO Systems, Inc., a Microsoft Small Business Specialist
Certified Partner and leading technology service provider for SMBs
located in Bakersfield, Calif. "The easy-to-use online ordering and
near instant software delivery available through Ingram Micro's
Digital Locker allows us to rapidly execute on customer requests
for Microsoft products and further enhance our Microsoft practice
and service levels."
Ingram Micro's Executive Director of Vendor Management Jodi
Honore states that adoption of the ESD model demonstrates that the
distributor is advancing its global relationship with Microsoft and
simplifying and streamlining sales for partners. The Ingram Micro
Digital Locker is one of many service innovations Ingram Micro will
make to its Software Licensing Desk in 2013.
"Our new Digital Locker, combined with our dedicated team of
experts, Licensing Desk and partner enablement resources, gives our
North American partners a powerful way to sell more efficiently,
build business growth and compete more effectively in the market,"
says Honore. "Ingram Micro is the undisputed leader in the software
licensing space because we've made simplifying success, executing
to plan and delivering a distinct business advantage to our channel
partners top priorities."
