Barco is now distributing its Present-P and Present-C Series business projectors, and the ClickShare meeting room collaboration solutions through a U.S. distribution agreement with Ingram Micro Inc., the world’s largest wholesale technology distributor.
The new agreement was formed to expand Barco’s reach in the United States, while filling a specific meeting room technology niche in Ingram Micro’s product line. Barco’s distribution model promotes success by leveraging the value that this channel brings for the logistical, support and marketing capabilities that distributors offer.
Barco’s Present-P and Present-C projectors are now available, along with the ClickShare range of meeting room collaboration solutions, in the US through Ingram.
Tim Ament, SVP of Advanced Solutions, Ingram Micro explains: “Collaborative visualisation solutions are in growing demand and present a lucrative sales opportunity for channel partners who are dedicated to helping businesses ‘Realize the Promise of Technology’. The Barco Present projectors are an especially welcome addition to our business technology line-up, fulfilling the need for high-resolution presentation tools in the education, healthcare and government markets. We’re equally excited to build on Barco’s ClickShare’s momentum by broadening its reach to thousands of new resellers across the U.S.”
“Ingram Micro addresses a very new part of the market for us and we’re looking forward to the opportunity that lies ahead for both companies and our mutual channel partners,” comments Patrick Lee, Vice President Entertainment for Barco. “Ingram Micro brings a wealth of local market and demand generation expertise to this relationship and we’re excited about our future together.”
