Ingram Micro gets fuller Dell picture

Distribution giant expands its relationship with Dell by offering the vendor's imaging portfolio to its customer network

Ingram has strengthened its partnership with Dell by adding the vendor's imaging products to its portfolio.

The move comes just months after Dell appointed Ingram to supply its complete end-to-end portfolio of hardware, software and services.

Brent McCarty, managing director of Ingram UK, said: "Dell is an extremely important vendor to Ingram Micro and our relationship has been strong since our partnership in the UK began in October. The addition of the Dell Imaging portfolio will allow us to build on the success we have shared with Dell so far and push the entire end-to-end offering further into the channel through our broad customer reach.

"We are now able to provide our reseller partners greater access to Dell's products and services, along with the support of a qualified product specialist dedicated to guiding customers through the opportunities available in selling Dell imaging," he added.

Dave McNally, Dell EMEA product marketing director for imaging, said: "We are delighted to have expanded our partnership with Ingram Micro in the UK, covering Dell's complete end-to-end portfolio.

"For Dell Imaging, the partnership will help drive our distribution strategy and further reinforce our commitment to the channel which is our largest sales outlet for imaging while allowing us to provide customers with greater access to our award-winning printer portfolio and achieve continued market growth."
