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 it has earned a Computerworld Data+ Editor's Choice award
for its innovative use of big data and the MaintenanceNet
Service360 Auto Quote™ solution to optimize service contract sales
processes for its channel partners across North America.
IDG's Computerworld, a leading IT publication, presented the
award to Ingram Micro at its 2013 Data+ Conference, Sept. 8 - 10,
2013, in Scottsdale, Ariz. At the event, Ingram Micro joined an
elite group of 12 organizations honored for their use of big data
to predict business trends and monetize information. Profile
stories on Ingram Micro and the 11 other winners are now being
featured in Computerworld's August 26 issue.
"With this initiative, we've transformed what was once a complex
sales process into one that leverages the power of big data to
expedite service renewals -- and ultimately maximize recurring
revenue and profits -- for thousands of our resellers across North
America," says Peter Gambino, executive director, Advanced
Technology Division and Cisco Business Unit, Ingram Micro U.S.
"Fueling success and business growth for our reseller partners is
always our number-one priority, and we're honored that
Computerworld has recognized the value that Ingram Micro and Auto
Quote bring to the table for our channel partners."
The MaintenanceNet Service360 Auto Quote solution works by
turning big data -- mined from a variety of sources -- into
actionable sales information that Ingram Micro resellers can use to
jump-start service renewal sales. The solution provides resellers
with highly qualified sales leads and a comprehensive, 360-degree
view of service renewal opportunities available to them. For more
than six years, Ingram Micro has been working with MaintenanceNet
to streamline sales processes by automating the time-consuming
administrative tasks associated with creating and delivering
service quotes. The Auto Quote solution offers Ingram Micro's
resellers a convenient way to provide accurate service quotes to
their customers within 90 days of contract expirations.
"The organizations honored in this year's Data+ Editor's Choice
awards program have unearthed the business value that's rooted
throughout big data," said Scot Finnie, editor in chief,
Computerworld. "The projects spotlighted are tapping into big data
to analyze and influence customer behavior, drive new business
revenues and predict future trends. Each of the organizations is
raising our understanding of big data to new levels, while at the
same time opening the door for other organizations to follow their
lead. It's an exciting time in the big data field."
