Ingram Micro Named North American Distributor of the Year by EMC
Distributor's Advanced Computing Division Takes Top Honors for
Increasing Sales Growth, Expanding Reseller Relationships and
Delivering Value-Added Services and Strategic Alliances
SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 9, 2014) - Demonstrating its
market expertise and growing partner value, Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM), the world's largest wholesale technology distributor
and a global leader in supply-chain and mobile device lifecycle
services, today announced it has been named North American
Distributor of the Year by EMC Corporation (NYSE: EMC), a global
leader in enabling businesses and service providers to transform
their operations and deliver IT as a service.
The prestigious honor was presented earlier this month to Ingram
Micro's Advanced Computing Division at the 2014 EMC® World
Global Partner Summit by Gregg Ambulos, EMC senior vice president
of Global Channel Sales, and John Albanese, EMC senior vice
president of Americas Mid-Market Sales, and accepted by Scott Zahl,
vice president and general manager, Ingram Micro Advanced Computing
Division, U.S.
"Ingram Micro has advanced its technical, sales and marketing
expertise, and is well positioned as an indispensable business
partner that is delivering exceptional value to EMC by going beyond
lead generation to excel in a number of areas such as onboarding
new channel partners and enhancing EMC's relationships with
complementary virtualization and infrastructure partners," says
Zahl. "We're proud to be named EMC's North American Distributor of
the Year, and will continue to work together to exceed our goals
and help our mutual channel partners and their customers realize
the promise of technology."
Building on its successful 8-year relationship with EMC, Ingram
Micro significantly expanded its overall EMC business in 2013,
emerging as EMC's fastest-growing distributor. In addition, Ingram
Micro built out an EMC VSPEX®Assembly and Integration
Services practice that allows EMC to ship fully integrated VSPEX
infrastructure solutions, featuring best-of-breed storage
virtualization, server and networking technology, direct to end
customers via the channel.
Additionally, in 2013, Ingram Micro recruited and enabled more
net new relationships than any other EMC distributor in North
America and invested in expanding its dedicated resources within
core areas of the business such as technical consulting, sales and
dedicated VSPEX business development managers.
The distributor also completed more than 350 Data Protection and
Availability Division (DPAD) assessments with its resellers and
their end-user customers in 2013, ultimately growing its DPAD
business by nearly 40 percent year over year. Ingram Micro also
leveraged its Physical Security practice resources, together with
EMC's Isilon® technical team for network attached storage,
to develop a fully integrated and EMC-supported physical security
appliance designed to help gain market share.
"This unique and diversified approach to growing EMC's business
has resulted in faster solution deployment timelines and increased
partner and end-user satisfaction, especially with VSPEX. These
results also clearly demonstrate how Ingram Micro has enriched its
EMC relationship to help us fuel growth and ensure success for our
channel partners," says Maureen Perrelli, senior director, Global
Distribution, EMC. "We congratulate Ingram Micro on an outstanding
year and this well-deserved recognition as our North American
Distributor of the Year."
