SANTA ANA, CA — (Marketwired) — 11/24/14 — Ingram Micro Inc. (NYSE: IM) today announced the addition of VMware to Promark Technology–s General Services Administration (GSA) schedule. Promark is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ingram Micro.
Simultaneously, Ingram Micro introduced its Public Sector Rewards Club. Developed in conjunction with VMware, the new program is offered at no cost to mutual Ingram Micro and VMware channel partners in the U.S.
Available now, the new Ingram Micro partner enablement program works to accelerate the success of VMware channel partners serving the IT needs of organizations within the federal, state, local and education markets. The new Rewards Club is credited with contributing to the success of several Ingram Micro and VMware channel partners including Technology For Education (TFE).
“Ingram Micro and VMware are valued business partners that we rely on to expand our expertise, solutions portfolio and support services,” says Teri Anderson, CEO of Technology For Education. “The addition of VMware to the Promark GSA schedule and new Rewards Club come together to give us access to the solutions, market development funds, training and support resources we need to build a better business and deliver an exceptional user experience to both our current and future education clients.”
Together with Ingram Micro and VMware, TFE recently hosted its annual end-user event for local Texas school districts. During the event attendees were encouraged to ask questions and experience firsthand the benefits of e-learning and see the innovative technologies and solutions that comprised the digital classroom. The lead-generation and education event was a big hit among attendees and resulted in a solid pipeline of new business for TFE.
“The public sector is lined with opportunity for channel partners and we–re pleased to expand our successful relationship with VMware to include our Promark GSA schedule and new Rewards Club partner enablement program,” says Bill Brandel, executive director, Advanced Computing Division, Ingram Micro. “Together with VMware and Promark we are empowering our channel partners with the technology and support needed to help their customers Realize the Promise of Technology.”
