Ingram Micro announces digital signage team

Audiovisual offerings expanded in Europe and UK

Ingram Micro UK has expanded its audiovisual division to include a complete digital signage offering.

According to Mike Farrah, commercial director at the distributor, a specialist digital signage team has been created to target the UK market, following launches in Germany, Italy and France.

"There is a significant market opportunity that spans across the AV and IT sectors, and with our extensive product portfolio and investment in pre and post-sales services we are ideally positioned to support our customers in taking advantage of this growing market," Farrah said in a press statement.

"We have the skill and product set to deliver and support implementations of any size."

Farrah said Ingram will not only supply, install and manage digital signage hardware, including displays and players, but will offer software development services, content creation, support and consultancy.

"These new high-value services complement our existing portfolio," Farrah added.

In other news, Ingram has also signed a deal this week with Powermat to push the latter's range of mobile telecommunications peripherals across Europe. Last year, the distributor set up a telecommunications division.
