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 a new Digital Signage Certified Expert (DSCE) training
program designed for its channel partners throughout North America.
Available through Ingram Micro's ProAV / Digital Signage
business unit (BU), the new certification and training program is
being facilitated by leading ProAV trainers and educators from
Brawn Consulting, as well as Ingram Micro's technology solutions
engineer and DSCE certified instructor Tom Jones. The training
program was recently previewed by more than 100 channel partners at
Ingram Micro's recent 2013 ProAV / Digital Signage Solutions
Partner Invitational.
"Ingram Micro's new DSCE certification and training program is
comprehensive and extremely valuable for channel partners who are
serious about digital signage and want to extend their portfolio
and services to include these high-margin solutions," says Jay
McCutcheon, chief engineer at South Central AV: an Independent
Affiliate of Mood and inaugural advisory board member to Ingram
Micro's ProAV / Digital Signage BU. "It is detailed programs like
these, along with the cross-over portfolio and partner enablement
resources offered by Ingram Micro, that set it apart and keep us
loyal."
Ingram Micro's new DSCE training courses are one-day and offered
in-person or online for added convenience. The course curriculum
runs the gamut, covering educational tracks, such as how to
prospect and identify the right digital signage solutions, how to
measure and demonstrate the return on investment and business value
of digital signage, how to master the fundamentals of digital
signage system design and how to market, sell and price digital
signage solutions.
"Ingram Micro is the first certified technology distributor
trained and approved to teach this course and that gives our
channel partners a distinct advantage when it comes to marketing,
selling and supporting ProAV and digital signage solutions," says
Kevin Prewett, senior director of Ingram Micro's Pro AV / Digital
Signage BU. "With Brawn Consulting's guidance and our in-house
digital signage expertise, we've developed a best-in-class training
program that will help our channel partners clearly differentiate
their services and deliver greater value to their customers."
Adding strength to the new Ingram Micro DSCE program is the
ProAV / Digital Signage BU's experienced and dedicated technical
support staff and inside and field sales teams, as well as its
marketing, vendor management and category management
professionals.
"The service potential surrounding ProAV and digital signage
solutions is explosive for channel partners who are willing to step
up their game and learn more about what the market needs and how
best to service it," concludes Prewett. "We're enabling our channel
partners to grow their business by expanding their focus on digital
signage solutions and making the training, support and education
they need readily accessible to them through our dedicated business
unit."
