Ingram extends signage for VARs with Advantech

Latest deal adds embedded digital signage platforms and integration services for all Ingram customers

Ingram Micro has begun offering Advantech digital signage offerings to its entire reseller customer base in the UK and Europe following a new deal.

The distribution giant told ChannelWeb that the range of embedded platform and integration services will be on offer to its IT resellers via its ProAV division as well as audiovisual specialists.

"Each solution can address a different type of customer within Ingram Micro, depending on the project and its level of integration or customisation required," said a spokesperson.

Nathalie Andersen, director of the ProAV digital signage division at Ingram Micro Europe, said in an announcement that the product line aligns well with Ingram customer needs and its own strategy.

Advantech, a US-based vendor, has signage players and other embedded offerings. Beyond digital signage, it makes and sells RISC platforms, gaming platforms, automation, networking, and other embedded systems for a range of verticals.
