SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - May 13, 2014) - Building on its
success, Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM), the world's largest
technology distributor and a global leader in IT supply-chain and
mobile device lifecycle services, today announced an expanded
relationship under its U.S. distribution agreement with SAP
America, Inc. (NYSE: SAP), a market leader in enterprise
application software. The expanded relationship marks a significant
milestone in Ingram Micro's existing distribution agreement with
SAP in the U.S. and is being spearheaded by Ingram Micro's Advanced
Computing Division with support from Ingram Micro's HP Business
Unit.
Ingram Micro will now provide analytics, database and enterprise
mobility offerings from SAP to its U.S. channel partners. Ingram
Micro will also distribute the pioneering SAP HANA® platform,
helping channel partners drive rapid innovation with accelerated
analytics, business processes, data processing and predictive
capabilities. In addition to SAP HANA, as well as SAP Business
Objects™ and SAP Crystal solutions, Ingram Micro has also added to
its solutions portfolio the SAP Lumira™ software.
"Ingram Micro has already established a strong working
relationship with SAP and we are excited to replicate and build on
that success within our Advanced Computing Division and expand the
reach and business value of additional SAP solutions within the IT
channel," says Scott Zahl, vice president and general manager,
Ingram Micro Advanced Computing Division, U.S.
To help ensure its channel partners are fully enabled to succeed
with SAP solutions, Ingram Micro's Advanced Computing Division will
also provide partners with a broad spectrum of resources, including
business development, pre-sales technical support, field technical
consulting, transactional support and tools designed to help
accelerate the profitable growth of their enterprise software
businesses.
"Ingram Micro has a track record of success as a distributor of
SAP Crystal Reports® software," said John Graham, head, Ecosystem
and Channels, SAP Americas. "We anticipate they will get up to
speed quickly as a distributor of our database and analytics
offerings in the U.S. as well. With their strong record of bringing
cutting-edge technology to mid-market companies, we expect they
will help customers in this segment to harness big data with
real-time analytics that will enable them to become best-run
businesses."
SAP software- and data-focused channel partners can leverage
Ingram Micro's sales, market development, marketing and technical
teams to broaden their capabilities in the fastest developing
vertical and horizontal markets. Ingram Micro's Advanced Computing
Division offers a comprehensive solutions portfolio, which includes
industry-leading technology from vendors like HP, whose HP
ConvergedSystem for SAP HANA is just one of several purpose-built
solutions for the in-memory computing platform.
"HP sees tremendous opportunity in the channel with our new
ConvergedSystem portfolio," said Neal Clapper, vice president,
Converged Systems, Americas, HP. "With the dedicated support of
Ingram Micro's HP Business Unit and Advanced Computing Division's
expanded relationship with SAP, we offer HP channel partners
cutting-edge technology, enablement resources and the support they
need to build and grow a profitable practice around the HP
ConvergedSystem portfolio."
