Ingram Micro Announces New Partner Features

Ingram Micro has introduced new leasing finance options and expanded field credit resources to help solution providers grow business in 2008. Available through Ingram Micro Preferred Leasing (IMPL), the new options include managed services financing, 100 percent software financing, public sector leasing, small ticket leasing, and vendor- specific leasing offerings. Partners can also use IMPL’s private label financing solutions to brand their company name and create a customized financing portfolio for their customers.

“The investments we’ve made in IMPL, combined with our field credit support teams, have become a clear competitive differentiator for us and a true value-add for our partners,” says Ross Crane, CFO of Ingram Micro North America. “By leveraging Ingram Micro’s financial services arm, our partners are able to provide their SMB customers the service, support, and financing they need to maximize ROI and truly put technology to work for their business.”

Training and education courses are available with the new offerings, as is access to trained business managers ready to consult with partners about financing. “Our goal is to make financing easy and affordable for solution providers of all sizes,” says Crane.
