SANTA ANA, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 19, 2014) - Ingram Micro Inc.
(NYSE: IM) today announced an expansion of its K-12 solutions
portfolio to include Pearson's digital learning solutions. As a
result of this new alliance between the leading technology
distributor and the world's leading learning company, Ingram Micro
channel partners can now create customized offerings to meet the
personalized learning needs of schools and districts.
"Supporting new ways to teach and learn is essential to the
education process, and digital curriculum is at the core of a
complete solution for schools," said Michael Humke, executive
director of vertical markets, healthcare and public sector unit,
Ingram Micro. "By adding Pearson curricula into our portfolio, we
are empowering Ingram Micro's channel partners with the
capabilities they need to open up new opportunities and deliver
holistic solutions that enable the schools to transition to a 21st
century learning environment."
Pearson creates innovative learning solutions powered by
technology that enable educators to leverage the power of data to
improve teaching and learning, and align the way they teach with
how students communicate, work, socialize and live. Ingram Micro
channel partner and successful technology integrator Camera Corner
Connecting Point in Green Bay, Wis., has built a thriving IT
services practice around the education vertical, and sees
tremendous value in the new relationship between the two
industry-leading companies.
"More and more curriculum is going online and, as a true
integrator, it's critical that we align our technical services and
expertise with the goals of the instructional coordinator to
deliver a complete and customizable solution," says Dave Pisani,
senior vice president, Strategy and Operations, Camera Corner
Connecting Point. "Incorporating Pearson into Ingram Micro's
education portfolio will further simplify the sales process and
make it even easier for us to scale, deploy and support the growing
demand for e-learning and e-text solutions."
"Today's digital education programs are improving learning
outcomes for students," said Larry Singer, managing director for
Pearson. "Our collaboration with Ingram Micro will allow its
channel partners to easily and effectively provide their school
customers with best-in-class education technologies and services
that support teachers in their efforts to accelerate and
personalize the learning experience for students."
Ingram Micro and its Public Sector Elite partner community work
with hundreds of specialized channel partners who have
relationships and provide products and services to the K-12 market.
The distributor's education-focused products, solutions and
services portfolio continues to grow year after year. Throughout
2014, Ingram Micro will continue to bring to market new resources
to accelerate its success in education, such as a K-12 playbook for
channel partners and field-based training and education
courses.
"The addition of Pearson to our solutions portfolio gives our
resellers a competitive advantage when it comes to helping schools
and districts transition from textbook- and teacher-centered
instruction to digital content and student-centered learning
solutions," said Humke.
